A reported 55% inflation, shortages of goods & services, no jobs and reported petrol / gasoline shortages. A general strike @ EZE airport in Buenos Aires last week that shut the place down and crippled the surrounding area. Elections coming and the old guard of liberal / socialists once again on the ascendancy. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Wonder how the outfitters are doing? Can't imagine they're doing any better than the rest of the business community. I'll be there again in July. Let's hope that at least the airports stay open. 114-R10David | ||

I was in Argentina April 19- 26 on a Red Stag hunt. I did not notice any interruptions either coming in and going out of BA EZE. I along with 2 other hunters shuttled to a hotel for day use because of the long return layover in the Recoleta area. Also, no problems. I did see on internet while there the inflation problem and the shuttle driver talked about the other issues but I did not experience any of it. Their problems are similar to what we have here in U.S. the money printing. Zim 2006 Zim 2007 Namibia 2013 Brown Bear Togiak Nat'l Refuge Sep 2010 Argentina 2019 RSA 2023 SCI Life Member USMC | |||

Just talked to my outfitter. He says the inflation is eating everybody up, but other than that, it's business as usual. Also said the strike at EZE was a political move by the opposition party as part of the run up to the elections and was not as large nor as effective as the media claimed it to be. Interesting to me to see how people in other countries deal with these issues, and how the media portray them. It's all part of life, and people just seem to get by. I recall 3 trips to Zim when the US and European media were claiming the situation on the ground untenable. I had no issues and observed none on any of the trips. 114-R10David | |||

Strikes are very common in Argentina, especially in the transportation industry. Often times they want a little time off to drink beer and make a small point. The worst are when they gather on the rutas and burn tires in the middle causing terrible traffic. The inflation is bad, but we have not really adjusted our prices. There is a reason why many restaurant menus have the prices written in pencil. Just for reference, my first trip was 2006 and it was 3:1. Macri has been trying to make changes, but the Congress is still a majority of Peronistas/Kircheners. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

I have an employee in Buenos Aires and he has not complained. Then again, he used to live in Venezuela. | |||

Wife and I hunted several years ago when the economy was in trouble. Bring an extra suitcase and do your Christmas shopping. Prices were incredibly cheap. Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

That is one of the big problems. Prices are not cheap. Buenos Aires is very expensive. However, Argentinos are very resilient and proud people. They will bounce back. I am there several times a year and am flying there tonight. Argentina is my favorite Latin American country. | |||

Very true. Like I said, many prices are in pencil. As with you, it is my favorite country outside of the USA and I literally live there a good part of the year. The Argentine people are very resilient, like you said. This current situation is nothing like it was 20 or so years ago. BsAs has never been cheap and probably never will be. However, it sure is pretty if you’re into the city thing. BsAs also has a very pretty female population... I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

"BsAs also has a very pretty female population..." Boy, does it ever! They are both naturally beautiful and very conscious of style and dress. Some of the most beautiful women in the world, in my opinion. I wish I had discovered BsAs earlier in life, when I was both younger and single. 114-R10David | |||

And they are not limited to BsAs, but there is quite a concentration there. I dated a girl from both of Cordoba for about two years and was a knock out. I sure screwed that one up... I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||
