Everything about Argentina is wonderful. Except getting your trophies back state side.

Funny you say that- I'm already wondering what my next one will be!

It's a Full Beaver Low Safari in Pecan.

Did they give a time frame of how long to expect them?

I actually wear a 3XL, but my fear is that it would be too tight.

I would have shot that magnificent Sable that I passed on. It wasn't "on my list" and, at the time, I thought it was too pricey. In retrospect, I've spent a lot of time wishing it was in my living room.

What year did you hunt? Did you have or do you expect any problems getting your trophies back home?

The softer the bosses are, the more you will lose to boiling and prep. Based on your before pic, that looks like a pretty young bull.

Right now I am stuck in a rut of buying good bourbon. I'm not even really drinking it. Just Bourbon collecting.

A bottle of 15 year old Pappy!

I had to pay a 50% Deposit for my Africa work. I mean, afterall, I have mainly floor pedestals coming. They contract out that work and have pedestals made for me. They have to pay for that. They have to pay the tannery. I don't expect them to go in the hole.

Not sure which trip you are asking about. My South Africa hunt was with Van Wijk Safaris. My March hunt in Argentina will be with El Pampa Hunting Ranch.

1) My one and only 10 day Safari to Limpopo South Africa in June of '24. 2) My Western Maryland Bear hunt in 2015. Beat ridiculous odds to get pulled for a tag, and took one of only 50 bears allowed that year. Rare trophy for sure. 3) I used to do an annual Bunny hunt with Traditional Archery...

My fave to eat - Blesbok #2 Wildebeest #3 Zebra Inedible - I tried 9 animals and I have liked them all.

For first safari, South Africa is highly recommended. From selection of animals, to price, to ease of flights, to stability of government, but MAINLY - ease in getting your trophies back.
