"My father and I have hunted Mexico for Coues deer for the last 10+ years and have hunted with a ton of outfitters, and I have to say that Brad Fulk and RSO are on the top of the heap by a fair margin.  No other outfitter has come close Brad's level of organization, work ethic, and probably most importantly - results.  Any of you that have been to Mexico before know the amount of paper work involved, and it can get frustrating.  Brad has always had every "i" dotted and "t" crossed in that regard and border crossings have all gone very smooth.  We never worry about crossing the border with Brad, which is at a premium these days.  The ranch houses have all been very clean, and the food is always excellent.  And Brad's guides are outstanding.  They are all friendly, hard working guys with great eyes and high end glass to help find your buck of a lifetime.  And they know Coues deer; these guys are Coues fanatics and can field judge deer at distance with the best of them, which is a huge bonus when you're trying to decide whether a buck is worth your tag or not.  And unlike most outfitters, Brad actually scouts his ranches before season so he already has a few big bucks pegged before you get there.  All this has led to my father and I becoming loyal customers, and the results speak for themselves.  In the last 5 years my old man and I have killed 5 Coues deer over 115" with Brad (with the largest being 151 4/8") for an average of over 125".  If you're serious about hunting Coues deer and want to kill a trophy buck, I highly recommend you give Brad and RSO a call."

Just wish to say that we had a great time. The trip and hunting was more than we expected. Once at the camp, I realized how much you and Mike put into making this a great time for us all. 

If you wish, you may use Rick and myself as references.

Thanks again.

I can’t say enough about Brad and Mike of Rio Sonora Outfitters.  I've traveled across the country in pursuit of the wild turkey, and in that time I've hunted with a number of outfitters.  To be honest, I was a little concerned as I'd never traveled south of the border to hunt before. 

RSO really delivered, the communication and updates leading up to the trip were great.  All of the necessary paperwork was handled before the trip which made crossing the border a breeze both leaving and returning to the States.  The camp was clean, meals were great, and the guides were warm and inviting. 

Did I mention that the hunting was outstanding as well?  I tagged two beautiful longbeards in the first 24 hours.

I highly recommend RSO and would refer any hunter in pursuit of the Gould’s to RSO without reservation.

I travel the world making my living doing hunting television and writing magazine articles. Brad Fulk's Rio Sonora Outfitters provided me with as good a hunt and overall experience as I have had anywhere, anytime. 

All paperwork, customs, licensing, etc. were handled with the utmost efficiency. I felt 100% safe the entire time, and the staff, from guides to cooks to ranch hands were knowledgeable, friendly and hard working. 

All equipment was in top shape, and game was plentiful and well managed. The hunting far surpassed my expectations as two of the three of us in camp killed B&C Coue's bucks. 

I simply can't give Rio Sonora Outfitters a higher rating...

Brad, 

I just wanted to send you a THANK YOU letter for the 2 COLOSSAL hunts I have had with you and your outfit.  I could not have imagined that I would have enjoyed Coues hunting as much as I did; it is one of the better hunts that I have ever been on.  Not to mention I was very lucky to be able to take a Coues deer of a lifetime my first time to ever hunt this species of deer (scored 119 7/8” non-typical & 110” typical)!!  Besides the outstanding deer that I lucky enough to bag, the crew that you have working for your outfit is every bit as good as the ranches you have to hunt.  Words can’t really describe how happy I am that my family found Rio Sonora Outfitters, your outfit has always taken care of us as individuals and more importantly you have always made sure that we were always having a good time as a family when my mom, dad and brothers are hunting as well.  I hope to see you and your crew soon… Kyle Welker

Brad, 

I had a great time hunting in Mexico with Arturo.  I was able to kill two Oscellated turkeys, the first and third pictures are of the birds that I killed.  I will send you some additional pictures later.  Thanks!

This is my friend Brad Fulk’s ((Rio Sonora Outfitters) last hunt of the year in Sonora for Coues deer … I hunted this ranch in December and passed on numerous big bucks looking for one like these … I took a nice buck on the last day but it was the smallest buck I chased during that hunt.  We took 3 bucks out of 5 that were over 10 years old – this ranch had not been commercially hunted in a very long time and it was evident by the deer we saw.

If you’re ever interested in hunting Sonora, I can’t say enough about Brad and his operation …. I’ve never met anyone so concerned about helping his hunters take BIG bucks!  In the past 10 years, Brad’s hunters have taken more big Coues bucks than any other Outfitter in Sonora!
