Santiago del Estero, Argentina
PIGEON HUNTING

The Blue/Gray or Spotted Pigeon, also known as the Blue Rock Pigeon and better known in Argentina as “Pichon”, is one of this country’s most fascinating game birds. They are not only fast flyers, they decoy quite well and are found by the thousands. It is not uncommon for a hunter to fire over 1,000 rounds in one day.
For our Pigeon hunts there is a set limit of 250 birds per day, per hunter.
Although the Pigeon hunting is available year round, the best time to hunt them is between April and October.
THE PIGEON HUNTING EXPERIENCE
The pigeon hunt starts at 7:00 am with a hearty breakfast. Around 7:30 am we take a short drive to the shooting field. The distance to the field is typically between twenty and forty minutes. After the morning shoot, we go back to the lodge for lunch and a siesta. In the afternoon, we depart at around 3:00 pm for the evening shoot. Schedules may change depending on the time of the year.
In the pigeon field you will be assigned a personal field assistant for every two hunters. The assistant will provide you with shells, guns and soft drinks in your shooting spot. The field assistant will prepare your blind, count your birds and shells, and carry some stools to the field for you. In the evening, when everybody finishes the shooting day, we will return to the Lodge.
