Welcome to the club... ...What outfitter did you hunt with?
I have had a lot of trophies shipped over the years and had my share of losses. I have a lion coming from Zambia now and the taxidermist there told me most of his clients are insuring their lion trophies which covers it from his shop to my taxidermist. I have never done this before, but did it this time as lions have become so expensive, I thought I should pay for the extra coverage.
Well, here in Uruguay capibara´s are protected (we call them carpincho´s") and you can see a lot of them, specially near water. They are remarkably quiet and easy to hunt, they dont move a lot. Wherever you see spoor, you just wait for them outside the bush of rivers and streams, they come out late in the evening for feeding. A 22. hornet is very adequate. The meat has a very strong taste, some people love it and some hate it, but you´re right that you must prepare them with a good recipe. Personally, I don´t like it. In my opinion it´s boring to hunt, for me is much more fun to hunt wild boars, axis deer, foxes, hares and fallow deers. In the last 40 years maybe I hunted 3 or 4 of them, mostly because someone wanted to taste the meat. In a trophy room, they will look very good, but I think that they are non exportable in most countries.
I just had a narrowly missed scare with big ivory coming into the States. We lost tracking for a whole weekend but have it again. Fingers crossed!
That might be the case.
He was apparently exporting Jaguars/Panthers. Sleazy dumbass, some unethical hunter (Russian, Chinaman, Actor, etc) probably offered him too much to refuse. He just lost a great honest business. I hope he enjoys Argentinian prisons. While my legal trophies ae seized, I'm holding out hope the government understands the economic and social value trophy hunting means to the country. It really is a fantastic place. The airport staff are clueless, so bring the rules printed out (in spanish). Better yet, use the ranch gun.
Jaguars illegal enough for you? Why he's in jail. Why do you spout off with no info? I'm sure you have a great voice, to yourself. I have $20k in trophies in this sleazeballs warehouse, so its real to me. Pontificators please stop, you're not smart or helping.
Welcome to AH.
I am not sure what the intent of your response to MG Hunting was. "Spout off with no info?" What was that supposed to mean? MG Hunting is one of the most respected outfitters in Argentina. I have hunted with them for two decades and they have been sponsors here for years. I trust any information they are able to pass along on the subject. You, on the other hand, join today and decide to be a jerk. Whether they are smarter than you I have no idea, but they are infinitely more informed. Just saying.
I also have trophies in Argentina hunted with MG Hunting from last March.
Well….you made a great first impression….
Stop.
Were you drunk when you wrote this? He didn’t deserve this response and it makes no sense
That'll happen when you start an account just to lead off with jackass level posts
MG hunting mentioned "native species". What else do you want?
