MG Hunting Argentina....Asian Water Buffalo 2023 Highlights

[ROCKET]

Hi guys.... I hope all of you are doing well.....We had a great Buffalo hunting down here this year 2023.
We had the chance to get some good trophies with different hunters.
All of them were taken with our customized Mauser .375 Holland and the guide carring another Mauser .458 Win Mag for back up.
This year luckily We had just only one charge that was stopped inmediately......

I leave you some pictures........

See you guys.......

Hi Herb.....what a good surprice to see you here........yes that was the charge I was making mention in this thread.........
I really would like to hearing from your side in the hunting reports sections......I think We have done a great hunt......

Hey Rocket! Nice hearing from you! A pleasure to make your acquaintance and have the benefit of your many successful years as a professional hunting guide for MG Hunting...Argentina! I will make a full report of my thrilling hunt experiences with you, Pedro and the entire staff. I get an adrenaline rush every time a friend or client who knows I hunt asks to see the pictures of my recent hunt with you! Pablo the taxidermist texted me that my Russian Wild Boar head is almost finished. And he's waiting for the Water Buffalo cape to be tanned. What a lifetime of adrenaline pumping excitement in just a few short days! Thanks for the memories and a report on African Hunting. Com is forthcoming. Be well and I will see MG hunting at the Show in Pennsylvania February with Mike and Dan to relive our adventure once again! Your Friend, Herb Johnson

Hey Rocket! Just heard from Pablo the taxidermist in Argentina who was recommended by MG Hunting. Shipping of my mounted trophy's is happening soon fingers crossed. Waiting to see how the taxidermist did on my mounts and how the whole experience goes in exporting my trophy's . When my taxidermied Asian Water Buffalo and Russian Wild Boar heads are delivered, I will be able to give a through. report to subscribers of AfricaHunting.com. Hope all is well with you and everyone at MG Hunting. Com! Your Friend, Herb Johnson P.S. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Harrisburg, PA show in February!

Hi Herb.......good to heard this......it is great......I hope you get the trophies soon......cannot wait to see them

Thanks for your words and lets wait for trophies and the report of the great hunt We have done together.......

 

[HerbJohnson]

Hey Rocket! Absolutely! Spoke with Manuel this morning. All questions answered. All good. Trophy's almost ready to ship. Fingers crossed! Thanks for always being there! Your Friend, Herb Johnson

Hey Rocket! I understand the trophies in transit by truck from Houston, TX. Better pricing on shipping than direct to NY. Looking forward to opening my crate of memories! Will keep you posted! YF, Herb Johnson

Nice looking animals!

You mentioned they were all shot with a camp rifle, is it difficult for a client to bring his own firearm?

Hello @matt85 .....it is possible to bring your own firearm.....just We have to do the paper work and you must to have patience checking rifles an bullets in every airport when you came and when you go.......for that reason many hunters in the last time decides to travel without firearms but it possible is tou want it

 

[HerbJohnson]

Hey Matt! As Rocket says....much hoopla and paperwork plus jumping through international gun transfer requirements. Added to possible loss or damage to firearms in transit makes bringing your own firearms a real anchor in the travel scheme of things. Yes, it can be done. Be prepared. If you choose NOT to bring your own rifle...arrive as early as possible to get the best choice of your outfitter's rifles. Really. Last choice could be a real boat anchor. Cheers and Great Adventure! Herb Johnson

Matt.....My Water Buffalo measured 48 inches tip to tip. He was the Water Buffalo mentioned by Rocket that charged us but was dropped by simultaneous fired 375 HxH and 458 rounds in the heart, lung region of the Buffalo. You can see the bullet holes in the picture seventh from the top picture of buffalo taken at MG in 2023.. Pedro and I with my Water Buffalo. My Russian Wild Boar 350-400 pounds taken on the same trip with a knife only! What a thrill! Ran it at night with 3 Russian wolfhounds and 2 Argentinian Dogo's! Cheers, Herb
