We mentioned in the April issue that Jay Carlson of Mindoro Safaris was taking a break from hunting in the Philippines to focus on some interesting hunts in the Central American country of El Salvador. Well, Carlson has now completed his first exploratory hunt, and he sent us a note describing how things went. His client, who asked to remain anonymous simply because he prefers to keep his hunting experiences private, took two red brocket deer in four days of hunting.
The hunt was based from the town of Tejutla and took place in the Sierra Madre Mountains. It involved a 12-mile, hunt-along-the-way mule ride into the hunting area. Carlson says the client saw a lot of brocket deer, plus several young wild pigs that he passed on. Beside the two brocket deer, Carlson says his client took a coatimundi and two fruit bats with wing spans of four feet.....
