RE: [Texascavers] [Fwd: Hunters being the hunted in Mexico]
A good reason for an old dude not to go caving in Mexico. I know, I know, you cave far from the border and it wouldn't happen to a peaceful caving group. But friends, the times they are a changing and desperate people take desperate actions even at the expense of their on livelihood.

Re: [Texascavers] [Fwd: Hunters being the hunted in Mexico]
well not having read the article, only the intriguing title - I must say I've always entertained a Gary Larson like picture of doves, javelinas, deer, elk, moose, buffalo, squirrels etc armed with high velocity rifles.
Re: [Texascavers] [Fwd: Hunters being the hunted in Mexico]
This is related to the previous post, but has nothing to do with caving, or Texas. I stopped by one of these lodges about 8 years ago, in the off season, to see if there were any good deals for staying over-night. ( I didn't want to stay in a road-side motel on the way back north to San Fernando. ) The lodge was very plain and very expensive. I didn't see any reason to stay at the one I visited, unless you were a rich hunter. My wife and mother-in-law have a place in Reynosa, which is supposedly one of the areas the Zeta's control. They both will not travel at night in this town. They seem to think the problem has become worse recently. Here is a news story from Matamoros from just last week: http://www.elmananarey.com/diario/noticia/nacional/noticias/balacera:_mueren_militar_y_conductor/555276 It says that a military official was shot to death after he stopped a suspicious vehicle. Soldiers returned fire shooting the car at least 20 times, with 7 bullets hitting the driver in the chest. Guns are illegal in Mexico.

Note: Some firearms are legal in Mexico.. Like Title Two of the Federal Law of Firearms allows possession and carrying of handguns in a calibers of .380 or less, although some calibers are excluded, most notably .357 magnum and 9mm parabellum. Members of agricultural collectives and other rural workers are allowed to carry the aforesaid handguns, .22 rifles, and shotguns, as long as they stay outside of urban areas, and obtain a license.Nov 24, 2009 10:46:11 AM, dlocklea...@gmail.com wrote: This is related to the previous post, but has nothing to do with caving, or Texas.

You're also allowed to transport your firearms and up to 100 rounds of ammo per gun which must be unloaded and stripped of the magazine during transport, provided you belong to a hunting club, have a hunting license and tags, and a permit from SEDENA (National Defense) Nico On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 11:18 AM, tbsam...@verizon.net wrote: Note: Some firearms are legal in Mexico..

Re: [Texascavers] [Fwd: Hunters being the hunted in Mexico]
They said it is an isolated case, however, I think is good to play safe and be careful when caving in Mexico. I don't know how dangerous is this area (northeast), because my hometown is Hermosillo, (northwest of Mexico). I heard stories about some small towns in my state (Sonora) being controlled by drug dealers, that you need to be a local to get out, but I don't know how truthfully they are Cristina Estrada On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 11:09 PM, Logan McNatt lmcn...@austin.rr.comwrote: Thanks to Peter Keyes for this article from the Houston Chronicle. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/world/6733362.html - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
