2 Days of Dove Hunting, 1 Day of Pigeon Shooting, and 1 Day of Fishing
The “Eared Dove” known as Paloma or Torcaza in Argentina is similar in size to its North American cousin the Mourning Dove, with the distinct difference that the Eared Dove has a squared tail rather than the pointed tail of the Mourning Dove.
These birds are considered a nuisance in Argentina. In some areas they destroy 30 to 60% of the annual crops of Sunflower, Sorghum, Wheat, Corn, and Soybeans. Their numbers reach the tens of millions which is the reason there is no closed season or bag limits, so hunters are welcome to come and shoot all they desire. Due to the astronomical number of these birds, it is common for a hunter to fire anywhere between 1,000 to 1,500 rounds in a single day. In some cases, we have had guest shoot over 6,000 rounds in a day. The shooting opportunities are clearly endless from sunrise to sunset. Our lodge is in some of the finest hunting areas northeast of the province of Cordoba, Argentina. It is located approximately one hour’s drive from the airport in Cordoba. Argentina Bird Hunts offers the lowest rate on a High-Volume Dove Hunting package without sacrificing the quality of service or the quantity of birds that avid hunters have come to expect and enjoy.
The Blue/Gray or Spotted Pigeon, also known as the Blue Rock Pigeon and better known in Argentina as “Pichon,” is one of this country’s most fascinating game birds. They are not only fast flyers, but they also decoy quite well and are found by the thousands. It is not uncommon for a hunter to fire over 1,000 rounds in one day. For our Pigeon hunts there is a set limit of 250 birds per day, per hunter. Although Pigeon hunting is available year-round, the best time to hunt them is between April and October.
You will be fishing in a boat with a capacity for 3 anglers. You will be using techniques like trolling, fly fishing, popping, and spinning, depending on what you are going after. As part of their full-day trip, you can target species like Catfish and Golden Dorado, depending on the current season and weather conditions. International anglers consider the Golden Dorado to be one of the world’s most powerful freshwater sport fish.
