those are the coolest looking turkeys I have seen... thought it was somehow a turkey/peacock hybrid at first.

I went down in 2011. The state of Campeche is the safest area of MX. Stayed at a ranch in the jungle.
Two ways to hunt them there. One is in the jungle. The other is to hunt the German Mennonite land. It suprisingly looks like TN agriculture land, only with huge epiphytes hanging from trees and the occasional jaguarundi crossing the roads.
In the jungle we had trail cams set out and caught all kinds of cool animals including jags, puma and tapir.
If you're going you better do it now. I have a taxidermy friend that does a lot of exotic stuff. He said the feds are really cracking down on confiscating salted pelts, etc... shipped into the country. For no other reason than to harass hunters.
He is actually looking into hiring taxidermists in MX to do the mounts there as it is less hassle to bring a mount into the US than a hide.
