Cordoba is recognized as one of the best shooting destinations around the world, and with millions of doves and pigeons year around, it is an experience that you will never forget. Unlike other regions in Argentina, the mountains of Cordoba offer a variety of shooting possibilities due to their geography and the combination of wild areas with cultivated fields, which makes this region special for hunting. Based on our experience and knowledge of the area, we combine different places making each day different and unique. Adding to this the previuos thorough work done by our team, the excellence of our service is guaranteed.

The trip

Your trip begins by meeting us at the Cordoba airport, where a translator will be waiting for your group. We are the only service that provides you with the forms necessary to check your guns into Argentina prior to your arrival, which will save you trouble and time at the airport. You may also rent our guns if you prefer not to bring your own. After assisting you through customs, we willl then drive to the beautiful lodge where you will be staying.

On your arriving and departing days, you will have the possiblity of shooting at no extra cost to you. Unlike other companies which make you shoot half days as part of your trips, our packages consist of full days. For example, if you book a five day package, this means that those five days are full days, making it a seven day trip, with the possibility of shooting two half days for free!

The hunting

The number of doves and pigeons in the area is estimated to be in the millions! Being considered a plague, there is no limit on the number or season for hunting them. Our average hunter shoots about 1500 shells per day, with most of them bringing more than two guns to prevent barrel overheating!

Dove shooting is non-stop high volume throughout the day.
The millions of birds combined with our experience in the area and previous work done by our team allows us to combine different fields to make each day of shooting a new experience.

Pigeon shooting takes place from natural blinds and consists of two options. They may be shot using decoys or naturally, for the hunter that prefers a more challenging experience.
From decoying pigeons to high birds or fast crosses, we assure you that every day will be adjusted to your personal needs.
We are the only company that offers both pigeon and dove shooting in the same are, without the need for long drives to separate pigeon fields.
Our company receives many hunters year around from other companies that come to experience our unmatched pigeon hunting experience!

Typical day

A typical day starts at around eight in the morning with breakfast at the lodge. After breakfast, we will drive to either the pigeon or dove fields, which are located nearby. From about nine o’clock to about twelve, your group will be shooting assisted by a guide as well as an experienced bird boy per person, who will provide you with snacks, drinks, shells, or anything else you might need.

After a great morning hunt, you will be bale to enjoy the exquisite typical Argentinian cooking: empanadas, barbecue, salads, pastas and dessers made by our cook, together with the best wines and the beauty of the landscape.After lunch you may go back to the ledge for a nap or stay and shoot the rest of the afternoon. Anytime during the afternoon you may sit back for a while and have a snack before shooting until sunset.

At about seven, we drive back to the lodge, where you will enjoy Hors d'oeuvres and a selection of local wines before dinner. After dinner, there is an optional massage service at the lodge, perfect after a long day of shooting. For large groups, the last night of your trip will be a goodbye dinner which will include guitar playing by local people.

And to top off your experience, you will get a DVD of your shoot to share with family and friends back home and to make your experience with us last a life time.
