Why is Argentina famous for dove hunting?
Argentina is internationally renowned for dove hunting because of its exceptional dove populations, especially in the Córdoba region. The unique climate, vast agricultural lands, and abundance of crops allow doves to breed year-round, resulting in massive flocks. Hunters can experience unlimited high-volume shooting, with no daily bag limits, alongside professional outfitters, beautiful lodges and top-notch hunting operations. This combination makes Argentina the world’s preferred destination for authentic and exciting dove hunting adventures.
When is the best time to go dove hunting in Argentina?
Dove hunting in Argentina is available year-round thanks to the permanent, non-migratory dove populations, particularly in Córdoba. All year round is excellent but absolute best time is September, October, November, December, our roosting season, and February and March, our sunflower season. During these months, I give a 100% guarantee of shooting over 1,500 shells a day, per hunter. The dove volume is amazing as doves are hatching in our roosts!! Each season offers unique advantages: summer provides long days and high bird activity, while fall and spring deliver comfortable weather with intense shooting opportunities.
