SPECIES & SEASON

Pigeons

These birds are large but fast and offer challenging shooting. They work excellently with decoys, which are strategically deployed around the blinds, at a suitable distance. We ensure one freshly built blind for each shooter.

Season

Pigeon shooting is available all year round in Cordoba.

SHOOTING DAY

Cordoba is considered the pigeon shooting capital of the world. The 40 square mile radius (70 km) around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 6 million pigeons. The lodge features 40 shooting fields, which are within a 35 or 55-minute drive through rolling hills.

Like pigeons worldwide, they offer fast and challenging shooting – the difference here is their monumental number. On a typical day, guests will shoot from 100 to 150 challenging pigeons.

We meet in the morning for a delicious breakfast at 7:30 AM.

After a short drive of 35 or 55 minutes, you will arrive in the shoot where you will be assigned a bird-boy. He will assist you with shells and drinks and anything you may need and one of our professional guides will be around ready to help you too.

We take a break at midday to enjoy a wonderful lunch in the field: an incredible barbeque with the famous Argentine beef.

Afternoon begins at around 2 or 2:30 hs., and continues until almost dark.

When the shooting day is over, you will continue with cocktails and an early dinner at the lodge.

The shooting fields are carefully rotated and rested to assure maximum bird number. This is part of our Game Management Program, which allows for a successful big-bag shooting season all year round.

"Thank you very much for a brilliant trip we all had a fantastic time. Julian and myself thought on the plane last night that the sights were superior to two years ago and David and George haven't stopped talking about it, they are over the moon"
