General Information
Season: All year round.
Our lodges are primarily Argentine Estancias built by the Cattle Barons of the Early 20th Century. They were built with luxury and relaxation as the main goal.
After an exciting day in the field,you will be treated by our staff as if you were the Cattle Baron of yesteryear. Cold drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a relaxing fire will allow you to unwind from the glorious day afield, and once you are thoroughly relaxed, you will be called to the table and served a meal prepared by some of the finests chefs in Argentina.
Many of our clients say that the hunting and fishing bring them to Argentina, but our lodges and staff bring them back to Pointer Outfitters.

ABOUT THE LODGE
The moment you enter this amazing lodge, you'll find a traditional Estancia with a relaxing natural stream to set the mood for a spectacular stay in Argentina. It combines tradition and a modern style in perfect union, but still harmonizing with the beautiful setting.
The house, which has 4 spacious bedrooms and a capacity for 8 people, has a cozy feel to it and an atmosphere that will make you want to put your feet up and unwind after a fun day of shooting.
Quiet, comfortable, and cozy!
As you can appreciate in the pictures below, we have designed each and every room in the lodge to be an individual expression of design, while maintaining a typical Argentine style.
Cuisine
Enjoy our gourmet and traditional cuisine every night after your hunt; our professional chef will delight you with amazing Argentine and international dishes. We have special appetizers available as well as drinks before dinner. You have to experience our special goat or lamb “A la cruz”; which is a local specialty, uniquely prepared. Normally it takes more than three hours on the fire to get it tender and phenomenally tasty!
The Fields
In the North of Córdoba, we will shoot in the hills 70% of the time. This is a dry area with rocks and rolling hills. It is packed with waist-high thorny bushes that make the terrain tough, but not impossible, to maneuver through. The remaining 30% of the time we shoot in the flatlands. The terrain in the flatlands consists of farm fields with crops or low cut grass.
Birds normally leave the roosting area with the first light of the day. They fly forty to sixty miles on average for food.
At our daily location, we will set up a tent, and prepare the famous Argentine barbecue. You will enjoy the amazing meat cuts accompanied by our well known special Malbec wines. After a great meal, depending on the time of the year, we will set hammocks to relax before the afternoon shoot.
The Hunting
Our dove shooting program starts early in the morning with a complete breakfast, which provides fruit, cereal, toast, coffee, and eggs prepared according to your preferences. Your guide/host will arrive for breakfast and will tell you about the hunting location, the guns, and the shells that will be used in the field that day. He will also give a safety speech on the first day of your hunt and will assist you in acquiring any/all accessories you could need. Around 8:00 am – 8:30 am, you will depart with your group to the field. Depending on location, it can be anywhere from a twenty-minute to a forty-minute car ride.
At your arrival, the field staff will be ready to take you immediately to your shooting blind. It will be an estimated three hours of shooting before lunchtime. The head guide will be available to assist and coach you if you so desire. Each guide is an experienced and qualified shot. They will be able to provide you with special coaching and tips to improve your accuracy.
The personal field assistants are in their thirties and most of them have been working in the field for many years; this becomes apparent when you see them shooting. They work hard every day preparing your blind, carrying shells, shotguns, drinks, and stools to your spot. They are also responsible for cleaning the field and picking up all shells expended.
*Schedules can change depending on the time of year.
Gear and Equipment
- Shooting Clothes – Hunting shirts which are shades of green and brown are recommended. Camouflage clothing is optional. The weather is typically cool in the morning and evening, so packing a light sweater or jacket wouldn’t hurt. Hopefully, the weather will be exceptional while you’re here, however it rains quite often so bringing a rain jacket is a necessity.
- Ankle High Boots/Shoes – Lightweight, ankle-high boots/shoes work exceptionally well. A Gore-Tex breathing shoe, like the Rocky Boot, would be an excellent choice. There are quite a few thorny plants where you will be hunting. Keep this in mind when deciding on what footwear to bring.
- Safety Glasses – Your glasses should serve a dual purpose; protection from the sun and any debris that might fall from above. The green or yellow protective glasses that can be worn over regular glasses are optimal. They have a small side panel which protects against glare. You will be able to find them in most hunting/fishing supply stores.
- Ear Protection - This is perhaps the most important item on this list. The average hunter shooting dove here will shoot their gun anywhere from 500 – 3000 times a day. There are numerous varieties of ear protection on the market. You should look for comfort, fit, and sound deadening components.
- Lightweight Hat – A personalized hunting cap will be provided although we also recommend bringing a wide brimmed hat for better protection.
- Shooting Gloves – the volume of shooting is immense. You will need to protect your hands from the hot shotgun barrels, as well as any brush traversed through. Having gloves will also reduce the likelihood of nicks and blisters from reloading, breaking your gun(s) and activating safeties. Golf or batting gloves are a good substitute if you cannot find quality, sensitive leather shooting gloves.
- Shoulder Pad – We highly recommend the Caldwell Field Shield. It is ambidextrous for ease of use for all shooters. The 1/4-Inch thick energy-absorbing pad provides excellent protection for all shotguns.
- Small Field Bag – A small bag/backpack would be a good idea if you desire to bring any personal items to the field. A camera for example.
- Insect Repellant/Sunscreen – During our spring and summer season (September to March), bug repellant will keep those bothersome pests from driving you crazy. Sunscreen is a necessity. Our blinds are set up daily, depending on where the birds are flying. So you might be in the sun or in the shade.
- Camera - The area you will be hunting in is exceptionally beautiful. We also offer a private service by a professional photographer. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
- Evening Dress- Clothing is casual. Slacks and sports shirts is all you need.
- Band-Aids/Tape/Medicinal cream - We have first aid kits in the field in case of an emergency. It’s a good idea to bring your own medical supplies, however. Antihistamine cream for bug bites, Neosporin for cuts, etc.

Gun Rental
Most of our guns are semi-automatic Benelli 20 gauge and Beretta 20 gauge.
We have Benelli Montefeltro, Benelli M1 Black, Beretta Urika 391, Beretta A400 and Beretta A300.
We have Beretta silver pigeons 20 gauge over and under. We also have a couple of Beretta silver pigeons 28 gauge over and under and a couple of Browning 525 410 gauge for rental.
All companies are using these guns because of the big volume of shooting in Córdoba. That is why, for the sake of a better service to our guests, our policy is to work with 2 shotguns per person per blind, so if you have jammings or missfires, your field assistant will be able to change your gun and take the other one to camp for a check or a cleaning. We would like you to understand that we work really hard to provide a great hunting service, but sometimes, shells could be working wrong, a gun could get stacked, or even a spring or the firing pin could break.
Your field assistant will be taking good care of you on the blind and if by any reason your gun needs to be replaced, he will contact the head guide in the field personally or by radio to be sure you will have a great hunting experience.
Regarding chokes, we have mostly modified and IC, so please be sure to have your special chokes if you are planning to have something different, or be sure to let us know about your special request before your hunting trip.
Add duck hunt to your trip
We would like to offer our dove hunters in Córdoba the chance to add a couple of days of duck hunting during the season (May to July) with a quick flight in between the 2 lodges.
That's why this is a great option if you are making a connection in Buenos Aires, since the duck hunting lodge is only 2 hours away from Buenos Aires Airport.
Enjoy a great hunting experience combining the large volume of doves in Córdoba and the challenging duck shooting in Buenos Aires.
