argentina dove hunt

[tt-33 8]

im looking into a dove hunt in argentina in june has anyone here ever gone .Im looking for some details this is one of those bucket list things.so im looking for honest reviews not the solicitated reviews. last thing I want is to be stranded so far from home with 2 guns

[Underdog 1,593]

If I went to Argentina, I would be looking for a Bersa 22/23 and a Ballester Molina 1911. I wonder if it is possible to purchase guns out of the country and have them shipped to an FFL in NJ?

Sounds like a fun hunt and definitely one for the bucket.

 

I would snoop around on the Shooting Sportsmen forum or on the Shotgun Life website. I have seen posts on SS relating to Argentina and Uraguay for dove and also combo hunts with perdiz and ducks.

 

Just remember that whatever lodge you stay at, make sure they can get you the particular shells you want to shoot, especially if you are bringing one of the smaller gauges. You can bring firearms into Argentina for a fee but not shells. And for dove, I suspect you'll be using a lot of shells.

Never been, but it did remind me of this video from when CZ got Tom Knapp to sell their shotguns. Looks like fun.

That sounds spectacular. The RBL's are a nice SxS.

[tt-33 8]

[DaddyNick 408]

sorry dont have any details on an actual hunt but most dove places will let you rent shotguns for the day. seems like your deadset on taking those doubles...I would as well! best of luck to ya! sounds like a great wife. show her some pamphlets on pheasant hunts in north dakota!

im looking into a dove hunt in argentina in june has anyone here ever gone .

 

Only at night.

 

You know how long I've waited for that question?

 

Don't know anything about the dove hunting, sorry.

[Parker 213]

Doves are engaging. Tough to hit and they will test the best of shooters. Once the season starts (at least here in the States where I've hunted them) they become wary after opening day. Camouflage is a must late-season as well as reducing your silhouette. It doesn't appear like they have these issues to contend with in Argentina.

If anyone has more info on pricing for a trip like this, can you direct me to where to find that info please.

 

I'm going send a head's up to my travel club and see if they can look into putting together trips for or like this being they have a section of trips for just hunters and fishermen.

guns have arrive now I need a faa aproved 2 gun case

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Update to my last post, They did put a two trips together, but not part of our regular Hunting and Fishing Line of Vacation adventures.

 

What they did was do a special promotion and Auction for the Manifest Foundation we are associated with, with the funds going to help.

 

Will update if and when they ever make a regular vacation trip out of it.

 

By the way, I doubt it would cost anything close to it, but 2 the 2 trips went for 7k and 8k with the 1st person who won the first one giving the trip back for auction and just donating the 7K he bid, just for the cause. Pretty cool in my eyes.

I bought a pelican case and just cut out the foam for my wife and I's o/u shotguns.

 

Any pics of the guns?

[tt-33 8]

just got back today can not say enough good about c&c outfitters.so many doves you hoping for for a break 2075 rounds in 3 days with a double.the local ammo is kinda dirty and recoil is heavy as far as 20 ga shells go.You could easily shoot 1,200 rounds a day .Anyone looking for a trip like this i'd recommend c&c outfitters

[Ian S 22]

Pics? That must have been a mountain of birds!

[tt-33 8]

Why does the second picture look like you are shooting the cow?

 

 

Who is John Galt?

I am so excited I figured out how to change my signature.

[tt-33 8]

for the asado.my son said the same thing,as we were shooting a herd of cows walked up and started drinking from the stream and never left.The funny thing about this is as you are shooting 3 to 6 times a minuet  none of the other animals are concerned horses,cows,eagles,hawks not even the dogs

[Parker 213]

Very nice!

Went to Argentina last year as part of my MBA study.  I was only in the city areas, Buenos Aires mostly, but really wanted to see the country side.  Had one of the best steaks of my life there.  We were only there for about 2.5 days (flew to Brazil for the other 2.5) and I would love to go back some day.

[tt-33 8]

it was my entire bucket list .my wife wants to go back but next time no Buenos Aires to much like nyc.

[BierGut 0]

That meal looks FANTASTIC!  There is nothing like eating out in the field.  Sounds like a great time.  It's on the list.

[tt-33 8]

cyc provided the best food and wine we had in Argentina indoors or outdoors.if a trip like this is on your list I can let you know what we liked ie avoid both Buenos Airies airports if traveling with guns

I need to talk my buddy into this.  We're both native Spanish speakers so this should be a real hoot!  Thank you for sharing your trip.
