Dove Hunting in Entre Ríos

We are proud to offer our clients hunting with one of Argentina’s very best dove outfitters in Entre Ríos Province, located north of Buenos Aires. Here you will find one of the most impressive dove populations in the entire country – and a level of hunting matched by very few places in the world.

A Dove Population in Explosive Growth
The dove population in Entre Ríos has increased significantly in recent years due to a major expansion of agricultural land and a shift toward more attractive crops such as soybeans, corn, and sorghum. These crops provide optimal feeding and breeding conditions for doves, and as a result, millions of birds concentrate in and around the region year-round.

The flat, green fields, waterways, and open terrain create ideal flight corridors, meaning the doves are constantly on the move – much to the benefit of hunters. The combination of enormous bird numbers and easily accessible terrain results in a hunting experience that can only be described as world-class!

It is completely normal to shoot between 1,000 and 2,000 rounds per day, and many hunters describe dove hunting here as one of the most intense, entertaining, and action-packed hunting experiences imaginable.

The Hunt
A hunting day in Entre Ríos begins with a hearty breakfast at the lodge, where the day’s plan is reviewed. Comfort, a relaxed atmosphere, and high-level service ensure the best possible start to the day. Afterwards, you head out to the hunting areas. Guides and helpers have already been in the fields early in the morning to observe dove activity levels and flight lines. Upon arrival, each hunter is assigned an experienced “bird boy” who will guide them to their position and provide ammunition, refreshments, and assistance throughout the hunt – and is always happy to offer helpful advice.

Hunting typically takes place from blinds or natural cover in the terrain, positioned along the main flight routes. The day is usually divided into two hunting sessions with a good lunch break in between, and the afternoon session is often the most intense.

After the hunt, a relaxing evening awaits at the lodge, where the chefs serve delicious local dishes, and guests can share the day’s experiences over a fine dinner and a glass of wine.
