Lost trophies crate (from Mozambique) - is anyone else’s crate missing ?

Nyati said:
Hunted SA in 2022, crate finally arrived in 2024 (CITES issues) but somehow a few trophies are missing from that crate, and we are waiting for them to be shipped.

TIA, a complete SNAFU

I am having a cites issue in South Africa now (very slow processing). I also hunted in 2022 and I have one animal missing, waiting for shipment.
 
We have a crate lost in Dallas. Came from Spain. The real loss is Gina's Roebuck. The rest is inconsequential. Well, the $3000plus into getting it here isxa major loss.

Sure wish we'd have gone with our gut feeling of just take good pictures and toss it in the ditch...

Are y’all missing the CITIES animals?

Not a question of missing the CITES animals, it´s slow processing, which makes the documents expire, and then you have to do the whole process again.

Missing animals were normal plainsgame.

Yeah, I’ve been a victim of the permit expiring deal.
 
Great news, glad to hear this!

UPDATE - South African customs apparently held up Moz crates to recert the weight and in the process they were given new AWB’s …a long explanation omitted but my crate is accounted for !

I got word yesterday that my permits are completed. I am missing a baboon skull which does not upset me at all. Just scared it will be there but not listed. I asked them to double check the crate, and they assured me it was not there. Still not confident. It seems like the permit process has been super slow!

Good luck to others waiting on lost crates and/or animals.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
