Fear of gun toting drug smugglers is discouraging hunters from hunting in northern border states. By some accounts, business is down by half while Nuevo Leon reports a decline of 70 percent. While no foreign tourists have been injured as drug runners battle police and each other for control, sportsmen (and women) prefer to take no risks. This hurts. The average hunter spends $3,000 on a visit to seek dove, duck or deer.
