I have hunted in 4 different continents but dove hunting in Argentina at Los Chanares is the best organized, most pleasant camp that I have ever been to ! I look forward to coming back."

I wanted to drop you a note of appreciation for the absolutely wonderful trip we had to Los Chanares. I can't say enough about the accommodations. The food was first class (great chef), the room was very comfortable, the main part of the lodge was charming and, of course the shooting was over the top. I simply can't imagine finding a place with more to offer !! Two things really stood out for me as far as the shooting was concerned: first, there were no long drives which most other places require and the roost shooting is something that can't be described. Again, many thanks for the trip of a lifetime !! You run one helluva nice operation.

| The lodge was the best I have been to and Alex, Jessica and the rest of the staff were outstanding. Of special note was the cuisine, Daniel was superb in the kitchen. |
|
| The dove hunting was spectacular. |
|
The fact that the shooting was never more than 10 minutes away from the lodge was a great feature. |
|
The fact that we never shot the same place more than once was refreshing. |
|
The fact that we were able to shoot in hilly terrain instead of all field shooting was the second best feature for us as a group. |
|
Alex and David have the right setup and so far they are getting it right. I wish them well and hopefully God willing we will not only be the first Jamaican group, but we will be back with friends.

Thank you most sincerely for a most enjoyable
vacation.
Estancia, the staff, the food and the general atmosphere were
marvelous.
As far as the shooting was concerned I have been shooting now for over forty years and have never experienced any better, having said that, I have been to many and varied places to shoot birds.

When it comes time to take the dove hunting trip of your dreams, you will be faced with the tough decision of where your adventure will be. With increasingly numerous options, this decision can often be a daunting one. However, as any veteran will tell you, it’s hard to beat dove hunting in Argentina.
Climate
The climate in Argentina makes it ideal for dove hunting. The country is generally warm and dry year round, which makes it a popular and accessible destination during any month of the year. Cordoba, in particular, is known for its consistently warm weather, even in the winter months. As experienced dove hunters know, this particular weather is ideally suited as a habitat for millions of doves, making Argentina the mecca of the dove hunting industry. Hide Text
Terrain
Another factor that has contributed to the popularity of dove hunting in Argentina is the country’s terrain, particularly in the Cordoba area. The region produces a number of crops that are attractive to doves, including grain crops like sunflower, corn, sorghum, and wheat. Peanuts are also a popular crop in Argentina. Another factor that contributes to the massive population of doves in the area is the local roosting cover. The combination of these two factors has created a population of birds in Argentina that are a dove hunting dream. Hide Text
Dove Population
Thanks to the combination of climate and terrain, Argentina is the ideal location for serious dove hunting. It is estimated that
there is a dove population of over 50 million birds in Cordoba, Argentina – which makes the province a dove hunting paradise. Because of the sheer volume of birds that are present in the country, there are virtually no restrictions on dove hunting in Argentina. There is no off season, no bag limits, and it is not uncommon for a dove hunter in Argentina to go through over 1,000 rounds during a single day.

Guns and Ammunition
When it comes to selecting your gun, there are many options available, based largely on how much money you want to spend. Many hunters who participate in Argentina dove hunt adventures prefer autoloaders, which allow its operator to get off four quick shots before the bird gets out of range. Hunters also prefer the autoloaders because doves are fast and sometimes difficult to hit. So even though pumps and double barrels are acceptable, they may not be as ideally suited for Argentina dove hunting as an autoloader. When it comes to ammunition, it is largely determined by what you want. If you are looking for more pellets per charge, you’ll probably want to go smaller. However, if you are looking for really long shots, the heavier ammo is better. Hide Text
Attire
For maximum success on your Argentina dove hunting trip, it’s important to conceal yourself during the hunt. Doves often have a keen eye from the sky, so wearing some type of camouflage can greatly increase your catch. Try and blend in with the landscape. You should also take measures to conceal your gun movements. Hide Text
Shooting
When you embark on your Argentina dove hunting trip, it’s important to concentrate on your site. Not only will this improve your catch, it will also help you become a more skilled hunter. Remember, you should try to allow doves to come within 25 or 35 yards before shooting. This will help improve your accuracy and increase your chances of landing your prey. Also, even though it may seem difficult, try and remain motionless until the doves have entered into your range.

Bag Limits
Did you know that the dove population in Cordoba, Argentina is over 50 million? This is a staggering figure that is unmatched by even the best locations in the United States. Because of the vast dove population in Argentina, the government has declared that there are no bag limits. In contrast, virtually every state (in which dove hunting occurs) regulates the number of doves you can catch in a particular day. For example, the state of Virginia stipulates that hunters may only have a bag limit of 12 birds daily and 24 in possession. As a result, even the most skilled hunters are forced to stop at some point, regardless of whether they are ready to or not. Hide Text
Seasons
One of the greatest things about Argentina dove hunting adventures is that they can be taken all year long. There is no set season for dove hunting in Argentina, which means that you can go anytime of year and enjoy success. In the United States, there is a very limited season (or seasons) for dove hunting that varies from state to state. Not only are there set seasons in the U.S., there are also specific times that hunters can shoot doves. For example, Virginia’s seasons are from September 3-September 24, from October 8-November 5, and December 27-January 14. However, the hours vary depending on the season. During the September season, legal dove hunting hours are from noon until sunset. In the October/November season, hours span from a half hour before sunrise until sunset. On the other hand, Argentina imposes no such seasonal restraints on dove hunters who come to the country. As a result, dove hunting in Argentina can be enjoyed throughout the year. Hide Text |
