Dove Hunting
Argentina is heaven for dove shooting lovers. The Northern area of the Province of Córdoba offers wide extensions and the appropriate infrastructure for wing shooting, and it is considered one of the best areas for dove hunting in the world.
Córdoba shows a matchless scenery due to its arid weather and its relief characteristics. In this argentinian area, the mountain range -with its creeks and bushy forests- meet the fertile valleys, creating the ideal habitat for the development of this kind of birds.
These characteristics enable dove hunting in the province during all the year. Flocks dark the sky in their search for food and water, and they are considered a real plague for agriculture. Therefore, Córdoba is one of the few places on the planet where hunters can make as many shots as they want to do.
To carry out this activity, it is necessary to hire the services of a hunting outfitter, who will offer all the logistic support and request the corresponding hunting permits. Hunters are transported to the shooting spot in the morning until noon. After lunch, which is generally an authentic argentinian barbecue, hunters continue with the hunting activity till sunset. During a regular day, hunters usually shoot between 1,000 and 2,000 cartridges, depending on weather conditions and personal interests.
