Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman captured in Mexico
I didn't know where to put this but since we have guys that hunt southern AZ and Mexico I thought I would put this here…

Chapo Guzman was the head of the Sinaloa cartel and they ran drugs up through Sonora and into Arizona. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up as I just don't know whats going to happen down there now. There is speculation that it will be business as usual and that his partner will take over but they also arrested 10 or more mid level guys from within the cartel. There is definitely a mix up and I can see a power struggle coming. Those can be pretty violent. I would hate to see the Zetas move in and start a turf war. It could get really bloody if that happens

Look, I don't want to discourage anybody from hunting down there but I do want to make you guys aware of whats going on so you can make an educated decision on what hunts to go on. I will update this thread if I get any more info.

I do not think Drum is capable of handling himself, so I will volunteer to come along as security for him. And cuz I like to fish. And cuz SBT is my best friend. Big Grin

I am in the process of locating a ranch on the border of south Texas to again hunt wt's in the brush country of Mexico. I thought things had calmed down enough to make another run as some of the best wt hunting in North America. This capture of the jefe could turn everything upside down again and bloodier than ever. We should know in the next month or so if everything turns to hell in a handbag. I hope not but "wait and see"!
