Overview of Argentina Rustic Red Stag Hunt
In the heart of the La Pampa province sits one of the largest privately owned properties in Argentina where you can hunt red stag, puma, water buffalo, fallow deer, feral goat, wild boar, blackbuck, four horn sheep, mouflon, and hybrid sheep. The rustic lodge has been built and decorated with the purpose of building the comradery and memory making of your companions.
This ranch has a habitat as diverse as its species, ranging from dunes to thick brush to green, tree-spotted plains. There is an opportunity here to hunt the 50,000 acre high fence area and the 5,000 acres free-range area.
This is an excellent spot for a group of friends, father/son, or clients looking to make once-in-a-lifetime memories in the field. The lodging can be considered rustic with a comfortable feel. Their trophy room/game room has a large fireplace and mounts from around the world. Each room is comfortable and has everything you need to have a great stay. The main living room has another very large fireplace… be careful not to get too close or you will be sweating!
Your hunting adventure will consist of truck hunting, spot and stalking, or hunting from box blinds as you wish. Because of the various habitat types on the property, your stalks will be exciting as you must navigate the change in terrain to outsmart the wildlife. It is not uncommon here to chase after FREE RANGE stag ranging from 300-340 SCI points which are consistently growing due to the management system set in place by their biologist. Your expert guides and attentive staff will provide you with the best chances of success from keeping your belly full of good food to taking you on the best stalks for your prey.
Hunting
You will be able to hunt the 50,000 acre free range property or the 5,000 acre high fence property.

Free range red stags can range from 300-340 SCI points with much larger taken each year due to the extensive management program their biologist started years ago.
Lodging
The compound-feel of the lodge layout as well as the incredible trophy room/game room will bring your group together to make memories, share memories, and build new friendships with other guests.
The main lodge is made up of a large trophy room/game room/bar with mounts from around the world, a pool table, and large fireplace. You will be hard pressed to decide whether to enjoy recounting the day’s adventures in this room or by the outdoor firepit. The dining room and secondary living room adjoin to create a feel of togetherness. The secondary living room also has a massive fireplace. You can also enjoy the spa room with an indoor jacuzzi, sauna, and bike.
The details in each bedroom have been carefully planned so that your stay will be comfortable and relaxing. 8 bedrooms have a private bathroom and either 1 king or 2 twin beds as needed. The 9th room has 2 bedrooms with a shared bath. Laundry service is available for your convenience.
As a special treat for guests, you can enjoy dinner at an old-days grocery store located on the ranch where the gauchos went for their supplies “back in the day” (such as salt, jerky, eggs, among others), and to catch a break from long hours of hard horse riding and cattle herding. It was also the place where gauchos used to come together to enjoy a “mate” and share stories of day-to-day and work, making this one of the most typical gathering places in the Argentine Pampas.
You will eat the delicious Argentine dishes including barbequed meats, as well as the finest wines from Mendoza and Patagonia. Both lunch and dinner include assorted beverages (bottled water, beer, soft drinks and wine) free of charge. You will also enjoy get-togethers by the bonfire before dinner, where everyone enjoys delicious regional products while sharing their stories of the day.

Other Activities
More and more, traveling to exotic destinations to hunt and experience the local customs and culture of the local people is becoming an activity that is enjoyed by both hunters and non-hunters alike. This lodge has developed a program of non-hunting activities that is designed to provide those in the group who do not wish to hunt (or simply want to take a day or half day off) with an opportunity to experience and enjoy the natural beauty that is found in the wild places on the pampas. Activities such as horseback riding, hiking, photo safaris, observing and participating in everyday gaucho activities and cooking lessons with the local chef allow the non-hunter to truly appreciate the beauty of their natural surroundings as well as experience the customs, culture, and way of life of the local people.
