Argentina

Package 1: High Volume Dove $1800 (low season 4 Days) / $2000 May-July.

It is no secret that northern Argentina offers the best dove hunting in the world and J&J offers the best in Argentina. The reason for the great dove hunting is that these South American eared doves are prolific breeders and have multiple cluthches a year. A mild climate and an over abundance of food due to intensive agriculture creates a dove explosion. The dove are literally pests !

There is nonexistent local hunting by residents. Most resident Argentinian hunters wont waste a shell on a dove. Thus the dove shooting is nothing less than superb. J & J offers the best high volume dove in the world (up to 1500 or more shots in day if so desired !) from its world class lodge at Santa Fe.

We offer the best high volume dove in the world  from our world class lodge, La Criolla in Santa Fe. This estate is privately owned not leased like most other wingshooting operations.  Over 9000 acres sunflower, soybean and corn that attract doves all year long by the hundreds of thousands.

This  ground zero for the highest and most consistent dove shooting in Argentina. It does not get any better. The dove hunting will wear out your shoulder! If you love dove hunting then look no further. You can shoot all the dove you want within 100 yards of our lodge! La Criolla also offers mixed bag hunts for dove  , duck and perdiz. 

Package 2. Mixed Bag: High Volume Dove, Perdiz, Duck, and Golden Dorado Fishing , $3300 (4 days June-July).

 Package 3 : Duck and Upland $3990 (4 Days May- July) 

After years of searching we found the best and consistent duck hunting in Argentina. The waterfowl hunting is better to be experienced than described (May - July). Shoot more ducks in one day (40-50 ducks )than a whole season in the US! Our duck hunting site is the best in Argentina.We are smack in the middle of the migration corridor between Patagonia and the tropical North. Our site is visited by all species of ducks that make Argentina home. Species include: Chiloe Widgeon, Brown Pintail, Bahama Pintail, Rosy Bills, Fulvous and White Cheeked Tree Ducks, Black Headed Ducks, Brazilian Teal, Ringed Teal, Argentinian Ruddy duck and Southern Cinnamon Teal.

Our duck lodge (a beautiful estancia that was once a Polo Club ranch house) is located in central Buenos Aires Province near the town of Daireaux. We are literally surrounded by duck ponds and small lakes. You can be duck hunting within 15 minutes of our lodge. Other lodges cannot claim this.

Our area consistently holds water every year. Around us are flooded agricultural fields that consistently hold ducks. We also heavily bait our hunt sites with literally tons of corn. This is perfectly legal in Argentina. All our blinds are dry. Hip waiters or even knee high boots are all that is needed.

Some of our competition claim they have excellent duck hunting but certain years , they are high and dry and have to drive up two hours every day to get you into the ducks. Some unscrupulous outfits will have no limits resulting in great shooting for a few groups then very poor hunting for other groups that follow. We enforce a maximum daily limit of 50 ducks.

In the afternoons we provide excellent Perdiz hunting over pointers. Shoot a limit of these quail size quarry in as little as one hour if you shoot well! If you finish early on the Perdiz we will take you on a low volume pigeon and dove hunt. You can expect to shoot up to 10-15 boxes in an afternoon shoot. If you wish you may also opt to just hunt pigeons or doves and not Perdiz in the afternoon. You can also opt to return to the duck blind for an afternoon shoot.
