This Argentina luxury dove hunting outfitter owns or controls over 20,000 acres of the best land in the heart of the prime roosting areas of Argentina. Typically the roosting grounds are heavily wooded areas with native trees called Piquillin, usually crossed by natural streams, producing an ideal habitat for the reproduction of doves. Vast and fertile valleys that furnish immense quantities of grain surround these refuges.
Hunting is 15 – 60 minutes away depending on the needed management of dove areas in various seasons. Your transfers will be in the comforts of one of their new 15 passenger vans with air conditioning, refreshments and two-way radios.
From August to February dove hunting is in the hills. From March to July you will be shooting over crops planted with sorgum, millet and sunflower to keep the dove in the area.
In addition, they plant crops exclusively for doves on their land and use no till methods, which provide consistent and unlimited amounts of food. By practicing good game management techniques, we are the only outfitters in the area that offer excellent shooting throughout the entire year.
Cordoba Province is nestled in the heart of Argentina, the mild climate, extensive agriculture, and perfect roosting conditions produce an ever-increasing population of doves, creating the best dove shooting in the world.
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 the lodge are carefully rotated and rested to assure maximum bird numbers. The driving distance to the fields ranges between 15 and 60 minutes in one of our new 15 seat passenger vans with air conditioning, refreshments and two-way radios.
