Paraguay Wing Shooting

Paraguay is a unique and wild country with a population of only 6 million. It also has an amazing history. The pigeon hunting takes place in the sparsely populated Chaco region, specifically near Filadelfia in Boquerón province.  This is a beautiful  Mennonite farming region. The farming and crop harvest is so successful that it is ground zero for millions of Speckled Wing and Pico Azul pigeons.  Yes, the best pigeon hunting in the world with minimal to no pressure! 

Our Pigeon hunt in Paraguay is the best Pigeon hunt in the world. This is possibly  the best wing shooting experience you will ever experience. Our host in Paraguay is the number one Pigeon guide for over twenty years in Paraguay. He is the best, guaranteed. Our larger competitors have used him exclusively.  He has access to numerous Mennonite farms throughout the region.

The Mennonites welcome the hunters to knock down the pigeons which are so numerous they can be real pest. These pigeon are tough birds. They can take a direct hit and keep on flying. They fly hard and fast.
