Thread: Argentina dove shooting trip 2012

I'm heading over to Argentina agian this year for a bit of shooting. 5-6 days of doves, a dozen different types of ducks and teal as well as perdiz (Not partridge, similar and hunting over pointers). I try to time it with a Buenos Aires pigeon club shoot, as they shoot for big $$$ and a good Kiwi shooter is in with a real chance of wining $$(I won some $$ last time and I cam't shoot for shit!!). I speak fluent spanish and know the city as well as the hunting areas. Anybody interested PM me, I am going no matter what, but if you have thought about it, but are unsure of how to organize yourself, then this is your chance, espcially while the US$ is so weak.
Suitable for taking the missus. Direct flights to BA out of Auckland now.
Cheers C

Man that would be wicked! I really enjoyed my time over there working. To bloody broke these days tho.
If anyone is thinking about it stop thinking and do it! going with someone who knows the language and area should not be missed

and for those who cant make it to Argentina, i am going up north for a few days and i speak far north fluently, i know the locals and the area too. I will be shooting wood pigeon ,kiwi and 1 species of duck

funny shit. both trips sound awesome!

Sounds an awesome trip Bulltahr.

Can you PM some details please.
Timing/costing and I'll see if my roster works in with it
Take your own gun?

PM sent................

That would be a great trip, a year or two early for me. Hope it goes well.

Airfares ex Auckland plus hunt works out at NZ$5360 with the excellent exchange rate of US$ .80 to the kiwi $.
only extras are internal travel NZ$160 rtn BA to hunting lodge, and ammo.
Doubt it will ever be this good again.................

BYO guns or??

Either, easy to get your own in, gun friendly, or use thiers, Beretta semis or browning U/O in 20g or 12g I recommned using a 20g for the high volume of shooting that you do. You can shoot 2+slabs in an afternoon very easily.

you say 2+ slabs in an afternoon, what do you shoot in the mornings

Afternoon shooting is always more intense since you are positioned in front of the roost and the birds are coming home from all over. In the mornings you go out to where they are feeding so the concentration of birds is less, steady but not as flat out as the arvo. Mornings, a couple of slabs before 10 am if you like pushing the envolope.
