Going on an Argentina dove hunt.

I´m going on one as well June 12-16

A buddy of mine went there in 2010. "6 hunters, 4 days, 1486 boxes of shells, 30,099 doves-pigeons-parakeets and misc flying objects." Taken from his FB page.

shells are $14 per box or there abouts. That is the major expense of the hunt

If you post ur email i will give you a place. My BIL does them about twice a year.

It is in the Cordoba Province with outfitter Argentina Expeditions.

If you are in the airport, look for the man with an LSU hat on and it will likely be me!!!!!

Is it worth that kind of money?

To some guys - yes. There are few places in the world where you can do that volume of wing shooting legally. There are so many doves in Argentina that they are considered pests so by killing large numbers you are actually helping the environment. None go to waste. You eat a lot at the various lodges and they give the rest to the workers and local villages.

If it is worth it to you, save your money and go. If not, no problem.

For most guys it is a once in a lifetime trip.

That's like 62 boxes of shells per hunter per day.

1550 shots per day

Assuming 12 hours of daylight, thats 129 shots per hour or over 2 shots every minute for 12 straight hours.

Also, that's an 81% kill ratio with doves.

Ummmm . . . .

Basically said they were using their over and under guns and blasting them, then the little Argentine helpers would hand them a gun with 8 shells.

The thing that sucks is that you can't bring any home with you.

I've been twice you need to change OP to " dove shoot" there is not hunting involved. It actually got boring after first day for me.I took customers who loved it.
