Juan,

That looks like a fun hunt. That is a very nice pig, a huge rat and a great buffalo. Hope you didn't let those South African corrupt you by encouraging the drinking of brandy and coke.

I hope we can find some time for a pig hunt or fox hunt during our coming hunt. See you in about 10 days.

Take care my friend.

Perry

Juan, those are outstanding animals! Was this near Esquina?

Dear friends all the game was taken at about 100km from Esquina ,many, many hogs,axis deer and black bucks in the area ,althoug hog hunting was ewasier as they were near water holes.
PWN375 im sure we will shot a lot and kill many many things.Juan

WE FRIED THE FISH AT THE BUSH.

To hunt a good bull like this you need to stay at least 4 days in the bush -we slept in cabins,sometimes in tents,-and sometimes you must overcame humidity ,heat,mosquitos,etc its not an easy hunt because the hunt is in an unfenced area,totally wild.

Juan,

It looks like you've arranged another successful trip, congratulations on such a good hunt.

Be careful my friend, Fernet and Coke is worse....

Congratulations Gentlemen!!!, Well done Juan !!!, You owe to Bill, Iki and Me a Capivara hunt.Guille

Great hunt and wonderful fishing as well. But.... Africans??? They looked like some good old white boys to me.... Now when you get Odamnya down there, then you'll be talking Africans. And when he arrives give him this message from me

incredible expedition ,i have been there with Juan, many times and now its a bit easier due to the drougth ,the 375hyh is the best caliber -i always carry a cz375hyh in the bush ,and a 44 magnum in the city.

Marcos you are rigth the area is very difficult and virtually isolated by the water ,the herd is totally wild and it moved very long way after the drougth ,the best manner would be an helicopter but i cannot afford one so ,only horseback and sometimes with luck 4x4s.
Of course inclosed farms where buffalo are cows -i hunted there many times-you can find better trophies and an esier hunt but here besides buffalo you can take many other species.
Guille I PROMISE YOU ,CRISTIAN AND IKY A CAPIBARA ,we must make plans ,we saw many capibaras in this expedition ,some huge males.Juan

GUILLE NEXT EXPEDITION WE MUST STAY IN THE BUSH AT LEAST 3 DAYS WITH TENTS i promise many different species ,we saw many brocket deer too.Juan

Yo, Juan, How tough is it to get a big Russian wild boar in that area ? In a normal year. Next time I go to Argentina I would like to try for a big guy ... (also those cool white geese)

Is it there space for one more ? Me!

PWN375,

Are you flying out of DFW? I am headed out on 7/30 DFW-SCL, SCL-COR. If you are, let's grab a drink somewhere in the airport. I will have just finished the bar exam and will be headed down to shoot some doeva nd maybe a buff.

Juan, thank you very much for a memorable hunt. Your hospitality and friendship is highly appreciated. You are a great outfitter and I will definately recommend you to anyone who would like to hunt in Argentina. I have hunted a few places in the world and Argentina surely rates up there with the best. Remember the invitation to hunt over here in Africa next year - I have already started making some arrangements. It will be an honour to show you some South African hospitality. It is a pity we never introduced you to the fine art of drinking brandy and coke - but rest assured, all will be revealed when you arrive in South Africa. I am off to hunt some kudu's and springbucks tomorrow in the Karoo - I will post a picture or two on my return - Willem de Jager

Willem you are welcomed at AR ,thanks for your kind words ,its very easy to hunt with professionals like you.
Scruffy you are speaking about CHOELECHOEL HOGS OR CORRIENTES HOGS because they are totally different.Juan

Juan,

Please check your PM for some last minute information regarding a slight change in our arrival time in Cordoba.

DSC Member,

Our Flight leaves Houston on the 26th. Sorry we will miss you. I wish I could have taken a trip to Argentina after my bar exam 20 plus years ago. I was numb for 2 days after it was over.

Perry

Dang ! No wonder I am having problems whacking a big Russian Wild boar ...

Juan,
He is talking about real jabalies, not feral pigs. La pampa or better yet, a big hairy tusker from neuquén province.

L

Yeah .. a big hairy tusker ... that would soothe my savage heart and soul .. for a while ..

Lorenzo,Scruffy i killed my best boars in RIO NEGRO ,CHOELE CHOEL islands ,i just returned from there the boars are really impressive.In Corrientes i believe are only feral pigs brave and huge but very ugly.Juan

I would like a competition between argentine and south african phs .Personally i run everyday with my 375hyh and shoots some targets while running.

Marcos.....I wish I could have been with you even though I could not have kept up. But with the weight lifting I am the champion....and I pick the weights. Costillas....!!!!

I would have to be permitted to shoot at Juan before he could get me to run 10ks with my heavy rifle unless he had one those Argentine beauties running in front of me.

Load your gun...those Argentine beauties don't run. And should you and I go down together, we will have a wonderful time with a few as the "boys" will be too tired to do much but watch.
Run, Juan, run, Marcos, Senor Perry and El Furtivo will watch the ladies.....
