Guayascate Lodge - Dove Hunting

The Hunting - Guayascate Dove Lodge

 

Located in the heart of Argentina, Cordoba is a fertile and productive agricultural area nestled in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas. Cordoba is known worldwide as the premier location for year round dove hunting. The Guayascate Lodge is situated on 20,000 acres of this land’s prime dove roosting habitats. Doves thrive in the area’s mild climate and have reached robust population numbers.

Eared Dove roost in the surrounding hills and mountains of Cordoba. Each morning, they leave their roost and come in low in groups of 5 to 30 to feed in nearby fields. The shooting is typically over wheat, sunflower, sorghum or corn fields. The species is so prolific, there are days you can expect to shoot a minimum of 1,500 rounds.

 

The morning commute to the fields is a quick 3 to 20 minute drive. Each hunter is accompanied with their own experienced professional bird assistant, who will provide shells, act as a loader, retrieve downed birds and keep cool drinks at the ready. At noon, groups gather in a shady grove of trees for a traditional Argentine asado (barbeque) complete with salads, gourmet desserts and an exquisite wine selection.

Accommodations - Guayascate Dove Lodge

 

No expense was spared to create Guayascate’s 18,000 square feet of luxury accommodations. The entire property was built for comfort, relaxation and opulence.

Location - Guayascate Dove Lodge Cordoba, Argentina

 

Guayascate is located in the northern part Cordoba, found in central Argentina. The lodge is a 1 ½ hour drive from the Cordoba International Airport. The most common flight options are to fly from Santiago, Chile or Buenos Aires direct into Cordoba.

Species - Eared Dove

The Eared Dove is the most prominent game bird in the area. This bird was named Eared Dove for a dark patch of feather on the side of the bird’s upper cheek that looks like an ear. These doves are the size of the popular Mourning Dove in North America, and in the hand, it is difficult to tell the two species apart. In the Cordoba region, farming practices and vast roost areas allow these birds to thrive at epic population levels. Various recent estimates put the Eared dove populations in excess of fifty million birds.
