Argentina Exporter Raided Trophies Seized

[Doubleplay]

I was at the Great American Outdoor show in Harrisburg PA today and booked a hunt for a Red Stag and Blackbuck hunt in La Pampa Argentina for March of 2026. Is all this stuff behind us now? Can I assure I will get my trophies after the hunt?

I hunted with @MG Hunting March 2024 and still no news about trophies and no updates.
They are a good outfit and I was happy with the hunt but honestly very disappointed with the lack of communications about what's the status of my trophies.

I am surprised. Have you contacted them?

Dear Double Play,



Hope this message finds you well and I´m sorry if you feel that way we tried to post all significant updates on the forum about the situation.

Please if you want any update at any time please get to me on a private message or e-mail or even text message and I´ll be happy to help you with anything I can.

Dear Migrabill,



Hope this e-mail finds you well.

This whole situation it seems to be about to end, a couple of days ago it was demanded the restitution of the trophies and we are waiting for the response. Probably it will take some time to do it ( around a month more ) but I think we are all living the end of this.

Regarding your question of if this will delay future exportations, I don’t think so as I´ve been told that once everything is squared away it won’t be necessary to re make the paperwork already done and the exportations should go out quickly.



If there is any other doubt I´ll be happy to help.



Best Regards,



Manuel Gil.

Respectfully, that would have been a primary question for the outfitter prior to booking.
They deal with these issues and problems every day, and have real time knowledge.
Best of luck on your upcoming adventure.

Oh trust me - we had a long talk about it. They assured me that the people who did this last year are in jail and everything will be fine. I just wanted to hear from somebody that didn't have a few thousand dollars to gain by my decision.

Based on my experience, still waiting for trophies from 2023, with a different outfitter, I honestly wouldn't be eager to book an Argentina hunt with any outfitter for a while. Every outfitter now provides the similar update, oh everything will be fine soon.....

I hunted Argentina in April 2024. Alfredo Perez Co handled the trophies. I am expecting my crate this week sometime. Pick up at BWI.

They have to downplay the issues and spread sunshine...their livelihood is dependant on it.
Can you imagine being a Mexican Outfitter now?

A couple weeks ago I heard from Rocket via Whatsapp and Manuel at MG Hunting via email that my trophies had been delivered to the exporter and that the exporter would be contacting me shortly for shipping information.

Last week the exporter, Alfedo Perez Co (AP), contacted me via email and confirmed that my trophies have been delivered to their warehouse and are going...

Happy for you. Nothing heard on mine...

My trophies are now in the states. Waiting at @gizmo (Top of Texas Taxidermy)
All in proper condition. Seems no issues once they shipped. Hunted in May of 2024. I know it's hard to wait, but maybe this means yours will move soon.
