Argentina Pigeon Hunting & Dove Hunting at South Pioneers in Cordoba & San Luis, Argentina |
In May of 2006, we joined Bruce Scott & Marty Fisher for the filming of an episode of “The Shotgun Journal." Watch here soon for a copy of the show.

The areas we will be hunting contain incredible quantities of both Pigeons, Spot-Winged & Picazuro, as well as the ever present Golden Eared Dove that Argentina is so famous for. Yacanto Lodge is situated in a region of Argentina undergoing a significant agricultural growth and located only 125 miles away from the Cordoba airport.

Argentina Pigeon Hunting |
After our agricultural harvests, we hunt the Pigeons over decoys. When you arrive at the field ,the decoys are already spread and the blinds built. The Argentine Pigeons decoy very well and at our location, you can experience pigeon hunting with the excitement of dove hunting as well!! If you have never hunted decoying pigeons, this is a “Must Hunt” for any traveling wing shooter.
Each Pigeon hunter is assigned an efficient bird boy, that will replace the cartridges and recover the game, and will offer him a refreshing aperitif when desired. All of our bird boys are constantly trained in first aid and know how to act in case of accident.

In the field, each hunter will have an outdoor chair, a cooler with beverages and a thermos with coffee for an exact balance between nature and comfort.
Once back to the Lodge, after an exciting hunting day, one can enjoy a relaxing moment in the 50' swimming pool, surrounded by friends and savoring an exquisite cocktail. The climate of the region is warm with plenty of sun and almost no rain.
As Yacanto is a mountainous region, non-hunting companions can enjoy of activities such as horse riding, trekking, visit olive groves, famous artisans, farmhouses of jams and flower essences, and live in a unique place, where the passing of time seems to have stopped.
In such a competitive market, Yacanto Lodge differs from others in the quality of the service rendered to clients. Therefore, no detail is unimportant for us; not only the meals served and the transportation services, but also our visitor’s special requirements will be offered with warmth and efficiency. |

There are no problem if hunters want to bring their spouses or family to Yacanto Lodge. This mountain place is ideal to enjoy relax and several activities as trekking and horse ridding. The area has plenty of artisans so they can buy handicrafts made of plate, wood, wool and beautiful local stones. There are olive plantations, aromatics and very good restaurants in the neighborhood.
