In all the world, there is no place that can compare to Argentina for its variety and abundance of game birds. In the provinces of La Pampa in the west and Entre Rios in the east, huge populations of doves plague farmers, and ducks of many species fill marshlands that stretch to the horizon. In the "big country" region of Buenos Aires Province to the south, geese, ducks, doves, pigeons and perdiz prosper in areas virtually undisturbed and unpopulated.

"El Retiro had a great variety of ducks and the number of ducks was equally amazing. Lucinda and I had one duck hunt that would equal an entire season of hunting in Arkansas!"
Tal Goldsby, Hughes, AR

May through mid-August (winter in Argentina) is the season for hunting mixed bag. The latitude is similar to central Texas, and the climate offers nice winter weather, with lows in the 30s and 40s and highs in the 60s and 70s throughout the long season. Aside from the great shooting and pleasant weather, you will find Argentine hospitality to be both genuine and generous. Even in remote areas, dining is terrific and - as you can see from the photos - lodge accommodations range from very nice to opulent.

Each of our Argentina outfitters offers shooting for a variety of gamebirds — ducks, geese, doves, pigeons and perdiz.Each of our Argentina outfitters offers shooting for a variety of gamebirds - ducks, geese, doves, pigeons and perdiz.
"A 28 gauge over/under, a stylish Brittany on point what seemed like every few seconds.upland hunting doesn't get any better than this. Then a 30-box afternoon on doves that same day. Estancia El Rincon is a game paradise."
Lee Hunter, Buda, TX

On our Argentina bird hunts, we prefer small parties of four to eight guns, in order to assure the best hunting and individual personal attention for our guests, and as always, we will carefully consider seasonal variations, preferred species and budget. These programs are located in the most abundant of habitats, and have consistently proven to provide Argentina's highest standard in shooting, equipment, guides, lodging, food and drink, and, of course, caring and attentive personal service.

In this site, you will find our recommendations for the best bird hunting in Argentina. Many years of research and countless visits to these lodges (and many others we choose not to represent) has given us the knowledge to make your trip the most productive and memorable adventure of your life.
