These Global Sporting safaris Hosted Wing Shooting & Fishing Trips are very memorable trips where I reserve the entire Lode exclusively for our Hosted Group. This Lodge Exclusivity allows single hunters and double hunters an opportunity to join our Hosted Group and shoot at a Lodge where most Lodges require a minimum of four hunters to be able to book a hunting trip.

Alberto, siendo un cazador y ranchero de cuarta generación, creció en losdesiertosdel Norte del Estado de Coahuila, en México. Empezó a aprender del monte y a cazar desde una temprana edad. Gracias a que su sus abuelos y su padre, siendo amantes del monte y de la cacería, lo iniciaron desde niño a cuidar de la naturaleza y apreciar el valor de la fauna y el rol tan importante del aprovechamiento sustentable de la misma. No es sorprendente entonces, que debido al aprendizaje de tan importantes lecciones, se desarrollara su pasión y habilidad por la cacería.

Alberto tiene más de 20 años de experiencia cazando, guiando y organizando profesionalmente cacerías en México. Su especialidad es la cacería de venado Cola Blanca, Bura y Carmínis, principalmente en su Rancho de 17,000 hectáreas en el Estado de Coahuila en el Norte de México. Recientemente, ha ampliado su área de experiencia a otras diversas partes de México, desde cazar venado Bura en Sonora hasta  el Pavo Ocelado Campeche, labrando en su camino una red de contactos profesionales y Ranchos Cinegéticos de primera calidad, de manera tal que puede organizar prácticamente cualquier expedición de cacería que un cazador nacional o internacional le guste entablar en México. Su habilidad nata de organización detallada y de entablar relaciones estrechas con las diferentes dependencias gubernamentales como Aduana, SEDENA y SEMARNAT además de autoridades locales, estatales y federales, hace que sus cacerías tengan un nivel de profesionalismo y éxito único. Además, cabe mencionar que en virtud de ser  100% bilingüe, indudablemente neutraliza cualquier barrera de lenguaje que pudiera existir en cacerías y convenios donde predominen las lenguas americanas y españolas. 

Alberto se une al equipo de Global Sporting Safaris (GSS) en el 2010, como agente de GSS  en México y Latinoamérica; teniendo como misión brindarles a los cazadores Mexicanos y Latinoamericanos oportunidades, en todo el mundo, de cacerías de primera clase a un precio justo y a los Ranchos Cinegéticos calificados de México y Latinoamérica oportunidades de trabajo y expansión mediante la promoción de sus cacerías y servicios al mercado internacional de cazadores, en el cual GSS tiene un presencia sólida y dominante. Asimismo como el seguimiento y expansión a México y Latinoamérica de  el fomento de la conservación y el aprovechamiento sustentable de la vida silvestre que GSS tan impetuosamente valora.
