Trophy recovery issue

[gr1ffer]

Hello all
Hoping someone can help resolve an issue I’ve never encountered before. I hunted in Belarus 9 months ago and harvested a fantastic moose. The outfitter was left with the trophy and said he would contact me when it was ready. Well 9 months later and nothing. I send regular messages both email & watsapp and I can see the outfitter reads them but refuses to respond. There does seem somthing a little dodgy going on. Anyone encountered this situation before.
Thanks all
Griff

Was this booked with a US booking agent or direct with outfitter? If a booking agent is involved that is where you can get some help. If you can’t get a response very soon I’d post a negative report on The Hunting Report as well as SCI’s hunter information system with Barbara Crown.

Best of luck,
Philip

Who is it?

Thanks Philip,
It was booked through a uk agent who quite annoyingly is no longer in buissness. I’ve contacted sci (London chapter) who have so far been very helpful and are making some enquiries. I’ve also contacted ministry of forestry and hunting association of Belarus. Hopefully between these I can get this resolved. One thing is certain I’ll never hunt in Belarus again.

Did the booking agent disappear totally? Did you track the owner down?

Perhaps the booking agent did not pay the Outfitter? Did you determine that?

I tried contacting the outfitter as well to establish this but they also don’t reply to emails
