rodellExport of Fox from Argentina?
Hi,
Is it legal to export a fox trophy from Argentina to the United States?
The species is Lycalopex griseus and it is a CITES II. I can't find anything that prevents its entry to the US.
Does anyone have any info?

Bill CollectorI do not think so. The problem( believe it or not) is not the US, but Argentina. A few years ago, they created a silly law that you can not export any animals that are indigenous to Argentina. Not sure why they did it as it does not make sense. You can legally kill it, but you can not export it? So, stuff like Capybara, Puma, and I think even birds can not be exported. I assume your Fox falls into the same category. Anything that was transplanted into the country, ie Red Stag, water buffalo, etc. can be exported. Between this export ban, their new Gun import shenanigans and the rip off and poor service of Trophy shippers causes lots of international hunters to pause from going there.

juanpozziFox hunting is permitted in most of th provinces of Argentina .Some provinces consider them a pest .Puma hun ting in Rio Negro is encouraged and foreach puma taken you can have some money back .But the stupid thing is that they make you very difficult to export them .
I guaranteed fox hunting in my operation and have 80 percent succes on puma ,and some clients exported them ...........

rodellThey won't do it until a government official confirms the species. Supposedly they couldn't even transport it to BA until the identification is made. I never expect to see it.
