After an exciting day at the field, you will be met by our staff with cold drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and will be able to enjoy a relaxing fire pit together with a beautiful pool and garden to help you unwind from the glorious day afield. After that, you can expect to be called to the table to be served a meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in Argentina.
Many of our clients say that the hunting and fishing bring them to Argentina but that our lodges and staff bring them back to Pointer Outfitters.
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!
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 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.
Doves usually leave the roosting area with the first light of the day, so we’ll pick you up at the resort early in the morning to start the fun.
Doves fly 40 to 60 miles on average for food. Birds love olive trees, sunflowers, peanuts, and corn; so we try our hardest to target the best fields so you can have an amazing experience throughout your trip.
Córdoba, San Luis and Salta are known for their dove population since they nest near big feedlots located there. This makes San Luis Resort one of the best locations in Argentina for Dove shooting. You’ll be amazed by the amount of birds! Be prepared to join the 1000 Dove Club.
Once we arrive at the field you’ll be shooting at, your field assistant will direct you to your post. We will also set up a tent where we’ll start preparing lunch, and after a great asado, we will set hammocks so you can relax before the afternoon shoot.
Most of our guns are semi-automatic Benelli Montefeltro 20 gauge and Beretta Urika 391 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 a better service to our guest, our policy is to work with 2 shotguns per person per blind, so if you have jammings or miss fires, your filed 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 or even a gun can get ammunition and get stacked, or a spring could be broken, or the firing pin could be broken.
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.
We would like to offer our dove hunters in San Luis the chance to add a couple of days of duck hunt 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 San Luis and the challenging duck shooting in Buenos Aires.
