Argentina High Volume Dove/Pigeon Hunt with Fishing
Hugo Pascuettin/ HP Wingshooting Adventure
This exciting 4-day adventure for 3 hunters offers 2 Full days of high-volume Dove shooting, 1 Full day of Pigeon shooting, and 1 Full day of Fishing, where your fish of choice will be the beautiful Golden El Dorado. This fabulous adventure takes place at the premier dove-shooting destination of the world - Cordoba, Argentina. There are no daily limits on dove; so it is conceivable for a hunter to shoot a thousand or more birds in a single day. The Pigeon hunt will be conducted over decoys to maximize the opportunity to reach the daily limit of 250 birds. Pigeon hunting typically starts early to mid-morning and continues through mid to late afternoon. Lunch is served in the field to maximize hunting time since pigeon behavior is very unpredictable. Each hunter will be assigned a “bird boy,” who will be attentive to any need the hunter may have, such as keeping him supplied with shells and refreshments. The hunting areas are constantly scouted to ensure clients have an excellent hunt.
Accommodation will be in a private estancia which can accommodate up to eight hunters. Amenities include air-conditioned rooms; satellite television, a stocked complimentary bar; free laundry service; Wi-Fi and a beautiful dining room where you will enjoy authentic Argentine Cuisine.
Hunt may be taken year-round, but outfitter recommends August or September, as this will offer the best opportunities for fishing.
