On a rainy Monday morning I went to the airport to pick up a new group. This time, Fritz and his friends. They came in different flights so I first met John. Later, the rest of the crew arrived, John, Richard and Phillip. These four friends came to Cordoba to hunt pigeon. 

Pigeon hunting is totally different to dove hunting. These birds are more evasive than regular eared doves. They can see hunters further than doves. So, covering your shooting sport is very important.

After picking them up at the airport, I took them to a restaurant where they tasted the traditional Argentine asado. After lunch, we went to the hotel to change clothes. It was raining so they put on rain gear and we headed to the field! 

After a 20 minute drive, we arrived at the field. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing! so many doves and pigeons in the sky. They shot for almost an hour and then gather together to share the day  experiences! They were very happy and asked me if the following day there would be the same amount of pigeons.  

The group chose Jesus Maria Deluxe Resort to stay, a comfortable and luxurious option for families and friends. 

The second day, we took them to the another field, near Cordoba city. After an early breakfast, we headed to the field. Although it was raining, they had an incredible day. There were so many doves and pigeons, they were amazed! 

At midday, they had lunch at the field. A delicious and traditional Argentine asado: beef, chicken, and pigeon morsels. After lunch, we changed their posts, and continued shooting for a while! 

They we very happy and took a lot of photos!

What about you? 

You should be the next one!
