World-Class Dove Hunting in Córdoba

Here you will find areas where the sky is literally swarming with birds, offering the hunter thousands of shooting opportunities in a single day. If you don’t get your fill of bird hunting here, you never will!

We are proud to offer our clients the opportunity to hunt with one of Argentina’s finest dove outfitters in Córdoba Province, just 1½ hours by air from Buenos Aires. Hayes & Hayes Outfitters is owned and operated by brothers Alex and Zeke Hayes, who for more than 30 years have been creating unique hunting experiences in Argentina. Their combination of high comfort and personal service ensures that visiting guests enjoy some of the very best dove shooting available.

Córdoba Province lies in the heart of Argentina and is widely recognized as the best place in the world for dove hunting. The mild climate, vast agricultural areas, and ideal breeding grounds support an enormous dove population – providing outstanding hunting opportunities year-round.

H&H Outfitters controls more than 20,000 hectares of prime hunting land in the region. Forests with characteristic Piquillin trees, intersected by small streams, provide perfect roosting conditions for doves, while the surrounding valleys with large grain fields ensure an abundant food supply. As the only outfitter in the area, H&H also cultivates crops specifically for the doves and conducts active wildlife management. This means guests can always expect exceptional hunting, no matter the time of year.

The Hunt

A typical hunting day begins at the lodge with a hearty breakfast, followed by transportation to the hunting grounds. The guides have already scouted the doves’ flight lines to ensure that hunters are positioned in the most productive areas. Upon arrival, each hunter is assigned an experienced “bird boy” who will show them to their position and provide ammunition, refreshments, and assistance throughout the hunt – and is always ready with helpful advice. It is not uncommon to shoot between 1,000 and 2,000 rounds per day.

Depending on the season, hunting usually continues until midday. Afterwards, lunch is served in the field, or hunters are transported back to the lodge where a delicious barbecue lunch is prepared and served in the shade. Naturally, Argentina’s famous beef and fine wines are an integral part of the menu.

After lunch, there is time for a short siesta before the hunt resumes around 2:00–2:30 PM. Hunting normally continues until just before dark. At the end of the day, guests return to the lodge where the host awaits with cocktails and a grand dinner.

The hunting areas are carefully rotated, and the outfitter maintains a moderate hunting pressure across all fields to ensure consistently high dove numbers. The hunting grounds are located approximately 15–50 minutes from the lodge and are reached in one of the outfitter’s air-conditioned minibuses.
