I would not be too quick to throw Jorge, Federico and associates under the bus. When it comes to politics and Greenies, a lie is as good as the truth if someone believes it.
I was an Argentine resident for quite awhile. Lived and worked there and maintained an office in Buenos Aires for over 10 years as well as resident gun licenses and hunting and fishing licenses/permits. The laws in Argentina are unusual and can be different from Province to Province and year to year and most LE don’t know or understand the laws very well. Kind of like in many parts of the US.
I killed a big puma in a Province where it was legal. I was able to get the license because I was a resident. I had to get a special permit to “import” it into Buenos Aires. Fortunately, the game biologist where I checked it was knowledgeable and very helpful so I was able to get the trophy to my office in Buenos Aires. I had all my documents framed and put on the wall beside the mount at the suggestion of my assistant to prevent any accusations of illegal activity. I love Argentina but it can be complicated. Especially when it comes to documentation and red tape.
Safe hunting
