Argentina High-Volume Dove Shoot

Hunt Description

Shooting starts early in the morning when doves come out of the roost into the fields for feeding. Hunting is in the fields as the doves pass over in the morning. At noon, you will eat lunch in the field. We’re sure you will enjoy a superb meal, their world-known beef and fine wines or an ice-cold beer. After lunch, hunting continues until late afternoon. After hunting you will return to the lodge to enjoy dinner and then turn in for the next day hunting.

Every hunter will be accompanied by a bird-boy who will reload guns and assit you throughout the hunt. At your shooting spot, you will frequently be visited by the staff to see if you need any assistance and provide you with ammunition and even an afternoon snack.

Ratings & Testimonials

Average Rating

“We had the wingshooting trip of a lifetime. We were well looked after at all times and were put in excellent locations to shoot as much as you could possibly want to shoot. Dove and pigeon shooting was unbelievable. The Perdiz hunting we did one morning was ok but that was more of an aside.”
Bob M.

“I have hunted with [this outfitter] twice , and he also guided my wife, she said he was great and very accomodating. We would go back again, and they made us feel like part of the family, their English skills are quite good, and they organized several outings for us as well as great hunting. My first hunt I shot 3700 rds, lot’s of Dove and lot’s of pidgeon. I would not hesitate to send hunters here, it was well organized from the time we arrived in Buenos Aires to the time we left.”
Scott C.

“This hunt is a little rustic and not as well put on as if staying at an Estancia but the hunting is unbeatable. I took 4 hunters of which 2 had hunted Cordoba the year before and they didn’t think hunting could get any better than Cordoba until they hunted in Santiago. There exact words were “I don’t believe this”. I believe the longest time we went between birds was 7 seconds.”

“[This outfitter] was attentive to our needs and conducted himself professionally in every respect. We would certainly use him in the future.”
