HIGH
VOLUME DOVE HUNTS
An estimated 83 million doves live in the areas surrounding our
lodges. We hunt tens of thousands of acres including a fourteen
thousand acre roost. The most common dove is the "Torcaza"
or eared dove and are very similar to the mourning dove found in
the United States. Because of the stable weather patterns, grain
crops such as corn, wheat, and sorghum are grown year round. Doves
in the area reproduce up to six times annually and are not migratory
so the hunting is always phenomenal. Clients can expect to shoot
1000-2500 rounds per day. Doves fly all day, there's no limit and
the season is all year. This is high volume shooting at it's best.
Our fields are located only minutes from our lodges. Most drives
are less than ten minutes!
DUCK,
GEESE & PERDIZ
Our duck, geese and perdiz operation specializes in great gunning
for a wide variety of duck species not found in North America. Hunters
normally take 12-14 different species on a trip, including Southern
Widgeon, Rosy-Billed Pochard, Brown and White Cheeked Pintails,
Silver, Speckled and Cinnamon Teal, and a variety of Tree Ducks.
Goose
hunting for big Magellan and Ashy head geese begins each morning
with a hearty breakfast and then a short drive to blinds or individual
pits prepared the night before where the geese are actively
feeding. Decoys are readied just before first light based on flight
paths.
There are several species of flushing birds in Argentina but by
far the most common and sporty is the spotted "tinamou"
or "perdiz". The perdiz is slightly larger than a bobwhite
quail and holds very well for pointing dogs. Hunting usually takes
place in grasslands and pastures around the estancias (lodge). This
hunt, usually in the afternoon following a duck or goose hunt is
truly a classic hunt with sporty wingshooting with well disciplined
pointers and retrievers.
 PIGEONS
The most common species are Spot-winged, Pjcazuro and Rock Pigeon.
They're fun to hunt and make challenging targets. Pigeons decoy
very well so it is often like shooting ducks on dry land. There
is no season or bag limit on pigeons. If you never have shot pigeons
you will enjoy it and if you have, you know you want to do it again!
