This opportunity is a result of a newly discovered high volume dove roost near the city of Buenos Aires located in Entre Rios province. And there is also some great Dorado fishing, and even water buffalo and boar can be added to any package!
WHERE: Entre Rios province is now one of the most productive agriculture regions in Argentina. It has extensive scrublands and water and streams that provide ideal habitat to yield the highest dove density in the whole country! We think it exceeds Cordoba! And the shooting fields are only a two-hour drive from downtown BA and under three hours from BA Airport. So no extra flying!
Client report: “Hi Butch. The pickup group met me at the McDonalds in the airport in Buenos Aires. Everything went smoothly and a nice driver then drove me to the camp. Heavy morning traffic slowed the drive to about 4 hours to the camp. Driver very courteous and careful. Upon arrival I was shown to my room in the beautiful hacienda. It was impeccable and probably beyond 5 star! Better then anyone deserved and a woman would have loved it. Food was all 5-star quality, with great wines, cigars around the fire at night and excellent guide work. I would tag out on my 25 ducks right away in the morning, even though I was being picky on my species and shots. Afternoons were pigeons and Doves and I often stopped early once I had my fill of shooting. Evening meals were incredible. The entire staff went way beyond what anyone could have expected. Five stars across the board. Thanks for a great trip!” Tom M.
The hunting area is connected with Buenos Aires city by a brand new four lane highway. It means that it is not necessary to spend the time, and money, to fly inside Argentina in order to get to a place like Cordoba.
Hunters can reduce their costs dramatically and save as well on travel time and they won’t get the usual domestic flight hassles: no delays, no extra weight costs, no expensive flight tickets, and simply a much easier and more enjoyable visit.
This hunting area also features very good duck and partridge hunting during the hunting season (May to August) and very good pigeon shooting as well during the months when the crops are mature (February to May). Dove is year round.
Location: This hunting area is located an average 2.5-hour drive from Buenos Aires city. The hunting area is 160 miles long by 50 miles wide – meaning virtually unlimited natural resources and huge numbers of birds. Their main lodge, (they have three more available) is in Northern end of the area and is the closest to BA.
Dove shooting: this operation has the closest high volume dove roosts from Buenos Aires city (some of them with more than 10 million birds). Typically, 1000+ doves a day is normal but clients shooting over 5000 rounds a day have happened!!
Here is a sample itinerary:
• Fly to Buenos Aires on a Thursday night, arriving early AM on Friday morning. Outfitter meets you and drives you about 2 hours to the handsome Lodge.
• You will be shooting that Friday afternoon, but lunch first. A dinner feast that evening with wonderful Argentine wines.
• Saturday and Sunday, shoot; and shoot again Monday morning if desired.
• Catch the afternoon flight home, arriving Tuesday morning.
That would give you 6 shoots, (two full days and two half days). And enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and lots of joshing one another! And this trip will not bust your budget either! Also we can lengthen or shorten the trip.
FISHING:
Fishing styles are varied, spin, fly or cast from boats and sometimes shore. The Golden Dorado has a large head, with powerful jaws filled with sharp teeth. It reaches maturity around 37 cm (15 in) long, and is golden colored. The average size of the golden dorado is about 3–10 kg (6.6–22.0 lb). The largest recorded size is 100 cm (39 in) length and 31.4 kg (69 lb).
The golden dorado is highly sought-after by anglers, both for its delicious taste and fighting ability. The aggressive nature of the dorado, its high jumps, and great fighting strength and stamina have created a great excitement among anglers from all corners of the world. While most anglers fish conventional bait casting or spinning tackle, recently the dorado has become a real favorite among the fly-fishing fraternity. Its aggressive behavior, fast runs, impressive strength, and awesome fighting has won it many friends. It will frequently go, with its golden body flashing in the sunlight.
Most effective flies: Clouser Deep Minnows, Andino Deceiver, Lefty’s Deceiver, Poppers and other minnow-imitating flies. Equipment used range from fly weights 6 to 10, depending on the size of the average fish. This fish usually takes flies both on surface and sub-surface. It is common to use Intermediate and Sinking-Tip fly lines in places with fast current, which are often the preferred sites for this species.
The fly is typically worked with long, slow pulls. The Dorado is a lazy chaser. So, if the fly moves too fast the fish may decline your offering. Flies tied for dorado usually contain lots of flash. This fish likes shiny, colorful flies in clear water – or black ones when the water is muddy.
The Main Lodge has nine deluxe rooms with private baths and all the modern comforts.

“Wingshooting and fishing in Argentina was my top dream international expedition. This outfitter and his staff provided the experience that I had hoped for and much more. His entire staff, from wait staff and cooks, to hunt guides and pointing dogs were excellent. Every outing was enjoyable and successful, including dove, duck, pigeon and perdiz hunting and fabulous Golden Dorado fishing on the Uruguay River. The food and lodging were outstanding and travel arrangements went very smooth. I highly recommend them for your adventure.” Bence C. Windsor, CO.
“Hunting and fishing with them was nothing less than fantastic. Everything from a super friendly and professional staff to five-star accommodation and not least to mention wing shooting and fishing out of this world helped to make the four days an absolute unforgettable experience!” Christoffer B. Denmark
An unforgettable hunting experience!!
Entre Rios province, one of the few regions in Argentina where outdoor sportsmen can combine golden dorado fishing and high volume wing-shooting in the same area, located only two hours from downtown BA.
