SINCE 1989

BAJA HUNTING HISTORY

Founded in 1989 by Arturo V. Malo, Baja Hunting is more than just a hunting company; it’s a testament to a lifelong passion. Nested in the Mexicali Valley, just a stone’s throw from San Diego, California, Arturo’s love for wildlife and hunting was kindled in the lush landscapes surrounding the Colorado river.

From humble beginnings hunting with a BB gun, to the adrenaline-filled days of off-road motorcycle racing in Baja, Arturo’s journey in the hunting world was organic. What started as guiding friends for fun soon became a calling. As word of mouth spread and more hunting enthusiasts sought his expertise, Arturo faced a pivotal decision in 1994. With Mexico’s economy in recession, he chose to pivot from his retail clothing venture to fully embrace his passion for hunting.

Navigating the challenges of establishing a new business without references was no small feat. Yet, the quality of the hunts spoke for themselves. As clientele grew, so did the vision for Baja Hunting. From initial accommodations in Mexicali hotels, the company evolved to offer a dedicated hunting lodge, equipped to cater to every hunter’s needs.

With changing environmental conditions, Baja Hunting adapted. As the Colorado river’s water levels receded, the focus shifted from waterfowl to pheasant, dove, and Gambel Quail hunting. This adaptability led to expansion across Baja California, tapping into diverse hunting terrains and experiences.
