The Fields

We are the #1 Outfitter in perdiz hunting fields, we run more than 50.000 acres to work with our bird hunting dogs.

The perdiz hunt fields are in grasslands. They are found in grass fields, sometimes with cattle, that provide great cover for the birds. It is important to approach the fields against the wind and with a great pointer dog that will mark the perdiz. You should expect a dozen flushes per hour walking through brush land, similar to some areas in Texas. Terrain is easy to walk and mostly every boot will be good enough for this hunt.

The Species

The Perdiz (spotted tinamou), as it is known in Argentina, is a partridge which lives in the abundant grasslands. Its scientific name is: Tinamou. Argentina is home to 15 species of Perdiz, the most common of which is the Spotted Tinamou. The tinamous are one of the most ancient species of partridge. Although they look similar to other ground-dwelling birds like quail and grouse, they have no close relatives and are classified as a single family; Tinamidae within their own order, the Tinamiformes.

Overview

Their natural food source is seed and insects, and their best habitat is the grass fields. When they flash from the ground, they depart with an explosive burst of speed, producing a 50-yard average target; for snapshots it can be anywhere from ten to fifteen yards.

The Hunting

The Perdiz hunt starts with a hearty breakfast around 7:00am. Around 8:00 am we will either drive ten minutes or take a forty-five to sixty minutes drive to the field. The optimal time to start hunting is in the morning after 9:00 am. We have lunch at the field in a nice tent “Argentinean Style '' with Gaucho Barbecue. In the afternoon, we will do the perdiz hunt after a nap around 4 pm.

Saftey Instructions

Hunting and target shooting are among the safest of all sports. This short note is intended to make them even safer by emphasizing the basics of safe gun handling, storage, and by reminding you that you are the key to firearms safety.

Always Keep The Muzzle Pointed In A Safe Direction

Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction.

Firearms Should Be Unloaded When Not Actually In Use

Unload your gun as soon as you are finished. A loaded gun has no place in or near a car, truck, or building. Unload your gun immediately when you have finished shooting.

Do Not Rely On Your Guns Safety

The safety on any gun is a mechanical device, which, like any such device, can become inoperable at the worst possible time. You should never handle a gun carelessly and assume that the gun won't fire just because the safety is on.

Be Sure Of Your Target And What is Beyond It

Do not shoot unless you know exactly what your shot is going to strike. Be sure that your bullet will not injure anyone or anything beyond your target. Firing at a movement or a noise without being absolutely certain of what you are shooting at constitutes disregard for the safety of others.

Use Correct Ammunition

Using improper or incorrect ammunition can destroy a gun and cause serious personal injury. It only takes one cartridge of improper caliber or gauge to wreck your gun, and only a second to check each one as you load it. Be absolutely certain that the ammunition you are using matches the specifications that are contained within the gun’s instruction manual and the manufacturer markings on the firearm. Be aware not to use smaller ammunition in the gun you are using, this could cause a major accident.

If Your Gun Fails To Fire When The Trigger Is Pulled, Handle With Care!

Occasionally, a cartridge may not fire when the trigger is pulled. If this occurs, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep your face away from the breech. Then, carefully open the action, unload the firearm and dispose of the cartridge in a safe way.

Always Wear Eye And Ear Protection When Shooting

All shooters should wear protective shooting glasses and some form of hearing protection while shooting. Exposure to shooting noise can damage hearing. Adequate vision protection is essential. Shooting glasses guard against twigs, falling shot, clay target chips, and the rare ruptured case of firearm malfunction.

Be Sure The Barrel Is Clear Of Obstructions Before Shooting

Before you load your firearm, open the action and be certain that no ammunition is in the chamber or magazine. Be sure the barrel is clear of any obstruction. Even a small bit of mud, snow, excess lubricating oil, or grease in the bore can cause dangerously increased pressures. This can cause the barrel to bulge or even burst on firing, which can cause injury to the shooter and bystanders.

Do Not Alter Or Modify Your Gun, And Have Guns Serviced Regularly

Firearms are complicated mechanisms that are designed by experts to function properly in their original condition. Any alteration or change made to a firearm after manufacture can make the gun dangerous and will usually void any factory warranties. 

Learn The Mechanical And Handling Characteristics Of The Firearm You Are Using

Not all firearms are the same. The method of carrying and handling firearms varies in accordance with the mechanical characteristics of each gun. Since guns can be so different, never handle any firearm without first having thoroughly familiarized yourself with the particular type of firearm you are using, the safe gun handling rules for loading, unloading, carrying and handling that firearm, and the rules of safe gun handling in general.
