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

Yeah, I’ve been a victim of the permit expiring deal.
You mean there are folks who have not? Seems like that would be the more rare situation...
 
Well … back to square one … apparently smoke and mirrors on my crate miraculously reappearing. Now there is no communication yet again from the Mozambique shipper.
I’m sure this is hard to believe and I feel terrible for your problem. This sucks and is also scary! I hope they find it and it gets sorted.
 
Cindy Rulon, Pro Cargo.
Always heard great things about her. She has handled lots of safaris for customers of mine. I hope they can get it sorted out.
 
Dang that really sucks. I hope they find your crate soon and get it to you.

Hoping I have better luck with my 2024 Mozambique trophies. They just left the outfitter last week.

Who did you hunt with?
 
I am having issues with good ol Milton as well. He is the owner of Hunter Services Limited. He has my Leopard, Hyena, Buff, Lichentstein H, Waterbuck and Warthog. I have paid him and have all the Cites paperwork but he will not ship or lost it. Who knows! He keeps telling me that it is going out this week and nothing happens. My stuff was dropped with him in April and we went through Cites paperwork which was all ready by July 2024 and it has been story after story since.

This sucks for y’all. Getting me concerned about going back to Mozambique.

Yep that’s the same bullcrap I’ve heard from him for the past 3 plus months. I think someone got all the craps mixed up (I say that since a crate with my name on it made it to Chicago and it wasn’t my stuff in the box). I got an email from him today as a matter of fact saying my airway documents were “coming soon”.
 
At least the guy hasn’t cutoff communication with you, so there’s still hope.

I had a taxidermist in Wisconsin steal a cackling goose, pair of blue winged teal and a red breasted merganser years ago and I remember how pissed off I was about that. I can’t imagine how bad anyone going through what y’all are going through feels.

The communication is very spotty. He responds to about every 8th email and vaguely at that. Not even sure why at this point.
 
Guys I don't want to give more worries but things are not looking very positive in Moz after election.
So when it comes to shipping and any official documenttaion especially from Government you will need to have patience.

23 December the high Court will announce if the election was free and fair and that could cause more issues.

Yes true, when I arrived in Maputo 4 weeks ago they had just calmed down the riots. I got word of the election upheaval while in camp and I was a little worried about getting out of there
 
Has the outfitter been involved in trying to help you figure out this mess, or as a liaison between you and the shipper?

Yes sir, myself and another member had to reach out and get the outfitter involved. It’s a shame to have to go that route but there was little choice at this point.
 
The saga continues. The other day I received an email with an apparent photo of a crate shipping label with my name on it and a few other details. My broker was informing me that all looked in order now and the crate could possibly get sent to the US on Christmas Day. A day later she copied me on an email to Hunter Services stating that she checked the AWB number and it came back “booking doesn’t exist”. I think my ex has some stiff competition on who has lied to me the most…

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
