Every year hunters from all over the world travel to Argentina to hunt doves, but don’t overlook the fact that the climate and habitat here is ideal for a great number and diversity of big game animals as well as some incredible fishing.
Argentina is a “hunter friendly” country. The primary language is Spanish, but many locals speak English as well due to its European influence. The country is noted for its amazing culture, friendly people, excellent food (the finest steak in the world), and wine (amazing Malbecs and Pinot Noirs). Bringing firearms into the country is a simple process, but most outfitters do offer rentals if you don’t want the hassle.
High-Volume Bird Shooting in Argentina
The doves and pigeons here are considered a nuisance, and there are MILLIONS of them in the farming areas. High-volume shooting just doesn’t get any better. In some areas there is also some extremely good waterfowl hunting, and upland bird hunting for perdiz. If you want to experience the best bird shooting in the world, we would steer you toward our outfitters in Cordoba, Santa Fe, and Santiago del Estero.
Big Game Hunting in Argentina
Argentina is well known for amazing free range red stag hunting, as well as a variety of other big game species including: blackbuck; axis deer; fallow deer; water buffalo; wild boar; capybara; brown brocket deer; and even a few species of peccaries. It’s tough to do it all in one trip, but you’ll want to go again anyway.
Fishing in Argentina
An Argentina fly fishing trip should absolutely be at the top of the “fishing bucket list” for every serious trout angler. Throughout Patagonian Argentina, the hatch and insect activity is generally consistent throughout the summer and fall fishing seasons. You can almost always “fish the hatch” and throw dries in addition to swinging streamers and fishing large attractor patterns. On top of all that, the fish are wild, strong and fast.
The Argentina fly fishing lodges, guides and outfitters in areas like San Martin, Esquel, Junin and Rio Pico is the best in South America, making this a great choice for those new to trout fishing who are looking for a week of detailed, on-water instruction. More experienced anglers can focus on technical dry fly fishing or hunting huge trout in a variety of different rivers and streams.
