Hi my friends, I'm back !! English is not my language so more than a report I will just share pictures with you. The Patagonia is without doubt one of the most beatiful places on earth. The rivers loaded with trouts and the mountains full of free range red stags everywhere !! I went with my hunting buddy Federico and with my good argentinian friend Guillermo. I wounded and lost a nice red stag due to a bad scope regulation  And also I missed completely a pig at 5 metres...  Some of the red stags hunted and the magnificent patagonian wild boar that we took the last day !!!              Well those are some of the pictures I took, I am really tired now, I arrived a couple of hours ago after driving two days back home from the patagonia !!! L | ||

Nice pig...what a brute Mike Never under estimate the internet community to use any opportunity to reply to a post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence problem.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Lorenzo, wonderful hunt. Did the hunters get three stags each? Was this a private ranch, or do they sell stag and Boar hunts to others? That really is a monster of a Boar. Congratulations.

Thanks guys, I am still on the road, now I must drive one hour more to pick up my family at Punta del Este. Steve, it's a combination of both, it's a private ranch that sells some hunts to friends or friends of friends. If someone wants to go there without a friend in common they will not allow to hunt there, and even like that there is a waiting list of "friends" and one can be there for years before even having a chance. They even don't allow me to say their name on the internet !! The place is really big, taking away a mountain with snow that sometimes appears in some of the pictures the background is always inside the property. When they open their list to a new "friend", something that happens from time to time, they study the hunter during the hunt, if you like them maybe you will be able to hunt again there, if not, forget returning there despite how much money you offer them, they don't need it. Once a new timer took a tape to measure the antlers of a deer just shot...they never allowed him to hunt again on their property despite all the phone calls he made. So the thing is that they have very few clients, mostly from Austria, than can take several stags at one time, there is not a given limit once they open the doors of their farm. I took 4 and I invite my buddy with 1 management stag and also allowed him to make the shot at the pig while I was filming it. The pigs are free the stags not. Never EVER in my life I have heard so much roaring day after day all day long...I was really blessed for having the oportunity of hunting there.      L | |||

Great photos and trophies, Lorenzo. Your boar is an especially good one. Congratulations! I, too, am just back from a successful red stag hunt in Patagonia. Their roaring was loud and constant in Neuquén Province where we were hunting. I will be posting a report of my own ASAP. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Great hunt. I second what CaneCorso said, the hogs look like they bred with bears and the county looks wonderful. You are fortunate to have had such a wonderful opportunity. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Lorenzo, Congrats on a great hunt in beautiful country! Patagonia is truly a magical landscape... the soft colors of the sky and mountains remind me of New Mexico here in the States even if the vegetation does not. Sorry about the stag... as hunters we dread a bad hit but the boar was a true trophy! Looks like a great adventure! Well done. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

What beautiful country! And I love the attitude about the tape. Seems too many are too worried about a few inches here or there and not the experience and the people. Shame. Again, what a pretty place! | |||

This simple sentence, written by someone that I don't know personally and maybe never will, makes me think that maybe is moment to turn over the page. I am still confused by the attitude of the moderators that deleted my post. I know I was wrong posting for prays on the African Forum, but it is the most visited here. A friend of mine. a HUNTER, was lost during HUNTING, it was one of US. I posted there asking for prays because I was desesperated, only 5 minutes before I have received a phone from the police chief telling me to get prepared for the worst, that from the next morning they were start to use dogs to find the dead body before the pigs..... Imagine that moment. I was doing everything !! I even rented a chopper because the airforce has stopped the search. Maybe I was wrong, but I think that given the magnitude of the disgrace a family was going through asking for prays for a HUNTER lost, on a HUNTING forum was more important than if the hunter was lost in Africa or somewhere else.. Maybe the moderator should have sent me a PM telling me that unfortunately he has no option than deleting the post, it was has been ok, but deleting it in minutes without even sending me a PM it was wrong. I have seen MANY post on the African Forums that had NOTHING to do with Africa and no one deleted them. I have always tried to help fellow hunters from AR in anything I can, I have never been rude with no one, even when once I was insulted by someone called DaMan on the polithical forum just by thinking different, I never insult him back, I just stopped posting there. And the only time I asked for help (for a fellow hunter on a hunting forum) I was deleted in minutes. Well, I will not continue with this, but I just wanted to make clear why I leaved the forum for some months. I have MANY friends here, real gentlemen like Scruffy, Allfoden, Cropduster, Bill, SBT and John (that is right now hunting with my friends at Quini Malal), and many more fellow hunters from Argentina and all over the world. So ok, I turn the page over and I will continue roaming around AR. Thanks to all of you that where really concerned about my lost friend. During the hunt he went at night after pigs, he fell down due to a hole where he got one of his feet into it and hit against a tree with his neck. Two vertebreas where moved and his head was also seriously injured. He walk unconcious during days without knowing where he was or what he was doing. he never realized he was 4 days lost. Finally one of the police rescue teams find it. Well, that's all. lets continue talking about guns and hunting and forgiving those things that hurt us, no hard feelings from my side. I honestly hope the moderator never go through something similar, he will personally know how desesparate one feels when you ask for help, any help. Well lets wait for SBT hunting report !!!!
