As the title says, I am thinking about a dove hunting trip to Argentina for me, my son, my son-in-law and three grandsons. Lots of options on the internet but would love to hear from someone with hands on experience. TIA
What time of year? Do you remember the name of the outfitter?Two years ago a friend and I hunted red stag in Patagonia for 5 days and then flew to Cordoba for dove shooting. They treat you like royalty. The dove shooting was amazing. We each shot around 2000 doves in 2 1/2 days. Shoulder gets a workout. The outfitter provided Benneli Montefeltro 20 gauge semi-autos. You will go through lots of shells. The doves just seem endless at times. Accomodations were great with a chef at the lodge. Shoot mornings and evenings with a siesta and barbeque each mid-day.
Would definitely recommend. We are going again this June.
Do you remember the name of the outfitter? What region of Argentina?I went in October 2017, which is their off-season sort of. First two days we had rain outs and unusual weather, third day we shot birds until we thought our arms would fall off. Ammo gets expensive on days like that. Four of us shot 300 boxes of ammo @$15/box that day. Kind of embarrassed at the number of birds we killed, doves and parakeets. The guides/gun loaders filled about a dozen feed sacks with doves. Lodging was great, food was great, people were exceptionally friendly. I would highly recommend it if you really like wing shooting.
We flew into Cordoba then had a three hour car ride over the mountain range to the west (Sierra Cordoba’s?), we stayed in the small village of San Javier which is in the big valley between the Sierra Cordoba’s and the Andes. I’ll have to go dig up the name of outfitter, will report back.Do you remember the name of the outfitter? What region of Argentina?
