Argentina Duck and Dove Hunting

A group of friends and me got drunk and won a trip at a DU banquet a couple years back for $3500. We thought “Sweet, split 5 ways, $700 each, we just got a steal!” Then they handed us our winners packet and we realized all we actually “won” was the lodge stay. We still had to buy airfare ($2400), transportation to and from airport ($150 each way), gun rental ($175 a day), not to mention shells were $12.50 per box. And people were killing around 700 doves a day. Many try joining the 1000 bird club. Still had to pay for tips too. There were some more fees I can’t remember. Finale price was around 6k for everything. In the field they feed you sandwich’s, but you got an authentic Argentina meal at night. Only offered local beer and whiskey so if you wanted a certain brand you were responsible for getting it. And all doves must be left there when you stay is over.

Damn that is expensive. I payed $3500 to hunt 3 days up in Alberta and I thought that was pricey. But then again all that matters is you have a good time. You can't bring money with you when you are dead and gone.

Check out get ducks.com. First class everything they ha e several options for about anything you could want in Argentina. I have been a few times. Expect as stated above she’ll cost will be as much as the entire trip. It’s something everyone should do at least once. It’s an experience!
