Overview of Argentina Dove Hunt - Small Lodges

These luxury boutique Argentina dove hunt lodges define luxury.  Shocking value without giving up service, excellent meals or exceptional volume dove hunting.

These lodges are owned and operated by two brothers. They have spent the past 17 years developing a reputation for spectacular accommodations and customer service. They own many of their dove areas thus they can control the hunting pressure to ensure plenty of birds for your group! Because of this, they have created the finest dove shooting experiences in Argentina.

Cordoba Province is set in the heart of Argentina dove hunting. The mild climate, extensive agriculture, and perfect roosting conditions produce an ever-increasing population of doves. These attributes of the area create the best dove hunting in the world.

This Argentina dove hunt outfitter owns and controls over 20,000 acres of the best land in Argentina. These properties are located in the heart of the prime roosting areas of Argentina. Typically the roosting grounds are heavily wooded areas with native trees and crossed by natural streams. These produce an ideal habitat for the reproduction of doves.

Surrounding these refuges are valleys furnished with large amounts of grain, providing a consistent source of food for doves. In addition, crops are planted on their land exclusively for dove. They use no till methods, which provide unlimited amounts of food for the birds. By practicing game management techniques, this operation has been able to provide a one-of-a-kind experience. They are the only outfitters in the area that offer excellent shooting throughout the whole year.

The observers in the group, or those who decide to take a day off, will enjoy horseback riding, polo matches and lessons, wine tours, spa and more.  Or just enjoy sitting by the outdoor fire pit enjoying the lovely setting.

If you would like to continue your vacation, Mendoza and Buenos Aires are but a short commercial flight away.  We arrange your flights, lodging and touring for a full service itinerary.

Hunting

The eared dove is the most prominent game bird in the area.

A recent Argentine Game and Natural Resources study estimates the dove population in the area to be upwards of 20 million birds. The eared dove is similar in size and appearance to the North American mourning dove. A typical shooting day starts after a sumptuous breakfast, with departure to the fields by 8 AM.

The shooting fields at each lodge are carefully rotated and rested to assure maximum bird numbers. The driving distance to the fields ranges between 30 and 60 minutes in one of our new 15 seat passenger vans with air conditioning, refreshments and two-way radios.

Clients shoot with their own experienced professional bird boy, who will provides shells, acts as a loader, retrieves downed birds and keeps cool drinks at the ready.

Shooting continues until noon, when the group gathers in a shady grove of trees for a traditional Argentine asado (barbeque) complimented with salads, gourmet desserts and fantastic wines.

After lunch and an optional siesta, the shoot continues until approximately 6 PM.

Upon returning to the lodge, relax with drinks and hearty hors d’oeuvres while dinner is prepared. Or sooth your muscles and unwind with a professional massage from our staff therapist.

Beginning wing shooters will have countless opportunities to improve their skill level due to the excellent conditions of the shooting fields.

Experienced guns can take great satisfaction in picking more challenging high targets. You can expect to shoot between 2 to 4 cases of shells in a normal day

When is the best team to come?

There is no season for Dove Hunting in Cordoba, Argentina, since it is almost all year round. The best time depends on the available dates for you, and your weather preferences. Remember, our seasons are opposite of the northern hemisphere.

We can offer you hunting in the fields or in the hills. From late March/April to July (our autumn / winter), we hunt in the sorghum, millet and sunflowers fields. In the sunflowers fields that we plant specifically to attract doves, the driving times are anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. In the afternoon, we usually hunt in the roosts where you can experience high volume birds. From August to February, we usually hunt in the hills; this is the best season for high birds. Shooting is usually all day from 9:00 to 12:00 am, and 14:30 to 18:00 pm depending on your preference. March is normally a transition season when the birds migrate from the grain fields to the hills.

Rental Shotguns

More than 200 guns for rent: Benelli Montefieltro Semiautomatics and Beretta Silver Pigeon over and under, all 20 ga. We also have some Berettas over and under 28 ga.. We provide 2 guns per day so you will shoot with one while the bird boy loads the other one. We have some extensions to make the stock longer if you need it, and we also have guns with shorter stocks, and shoulder pads as well.

Drive time to the fields

5 to 60 minutes depending on the lodge and the season.
