Wingshooting in Argentina
For generations, Argentina has been recognized as one of the world's premier wingshooting destinations. However, outstanding hunting is not defined only by the number of birds in the sky. A truly memorable hunting experience is created when exceptional game, carefully selected hunting areas, efficient logistics, professional guidance, comfortable accommodations and genuine Argentine hospitality come together.
At Argentina Big Hunting, we spent many years hunting throughout Argentina before deciding where to establish our wingshooting operation. We deliberately chose Entre Ríos because, in our experience, it offers one of the most complete wingshooting destinations in the country.
Its exceptional combination of wild Eared Dove shooting, outstanding duck hunting, traditional perdiz hunting over pointing dogs, seasonal pigeon shooting and excellent Golden Dorado fishing allows us to create personalized programs that few destinations can genuinely offer.
Wingshooting Opportunities
Throughout the year, hunters can enjoy an exceptional variety of sporting experiences, including:
- High-volume Wild Eared Dove Shooting (Zenaida auriculata)
- Duck Hunting over Decoys
- Traditional Perdiz Hunting over Pointing Dogs
- Seasonal Pigeon Shooting
- Full-day Golden Dorado Fishing on the Uruguay River
The true advantage of our destination is not only the variety of activities available, but the quality of each one. Every experience we offer stands on its own and represents an authentic Argentine sporting adventure.
Designed Around the Hunter
Every decision we have made has been guided by one objective: maximizing our clients' hunting experience.
When selecting our lodge, we deliberately chose to be closer to the hunting areas rather than simply closer to Buenos Aires. Although this means a slightly longer transfer upon arrival and departure, it dramatically reduces daily travel time during the hunt, allowing our guests to spend more time in the field and less time on the road.
This decision was based on years of experience organizing hunting programs throughout Argentina. We learned that a hunter traveling thousands of miles to Argentina should spend his valuable time hunting—not sitting inside a vehicle traveling between distant locations.
Today, our hunting areas are located approximately 7 to 40 minutes from the lodge, allowing our guests to enjoy different hunting and fishing experiences while maintaining the comfort of staying at one central location.
No constant packing.
No changing accommodations.
No unnecessary loss of hunting time.
Simply more opportunities to enjoy Argentina.
High Volume Dove Hunting
Argentina's wild Eared Doves (Zenaida auriculata) have earned an international reputation for providing one of the most exciting high-volume shooting experiences available anywhere in the world.
Watching thousands of doves leave their roosts at first light is one of those unforgettable moments that many hunters remember for the rest of their lives. Throughout the day, continuous shooting opportunities, carefully selected fields and professional bird assistants create an experience that consistently exceeds expectations.
Traditional Mixed Bag Hunting
Between May and August, our programs expand to include some of Argentina's finest sporting traditions.
Mixed Bag Hunting combines duck hunting over decoys, perdiz hunting behind experienced pointing dogs and seasonal pigeon shooting, allowing hunters to experience several classic forms of wingshooting during the same trip.
Walking through native grasslands behind a pointing dog, watching a bird work before the flush, or experiencing the challenge of a fast pigeon flight are moments that represent the essence of traditional wingshooting.
Golden Dorado Fishing
One of the greatest advantages of our location is the possibility of combining wingshooting with outstanding Golden Dorado fishing on the Uruguay River.
Known as the "Tiger of the River," the Golden Dorado is one of South America's most spectacular freshwater game fish. Together with our wingshooting programs, it creates a unique Cast & Blast experience that very few destinations can genuinely offer.
One Lodge. Multiple Experiences.
Many destinations offer one exceptional hunting experience and add other activities as secondary options.
Our philosophy is different.
Because of the diversity of our region and the proximity of all activities, hunters can combine several experiences during the same trip while maintaining the comfort and convenience of one lodge.
A hunter may arrive focused on dove shooting and decide to add duck hunting, perdiz hunting, pigeon shooting or Golden Dorado fishing once he discovers the possibilities available.
This flexibility allows us to design each safari according to the hunter's interests, available time and personal expectations.
Conservation Through Responsible Hunting
Responsible hunting and wildlife conservation are inseparable.
We believe that sustainable wildlife management is essential to preserving healthy game populations for future generations. For that reason, we actively support responsible management practices and collaborate in wildlife monitoring initiatives that contribute valuable information for the long-term conservation of the resource.
Our commitment is simple: today's hunters should enjoy exceptional hunting opportunities without compromising those of tomorrow.
Planning, Experience and Flexibility
Every successful hunting trip requires careful preparation.
However, the best experiences also require the ability to adapt. Weather conditions, bird movements and individual preferences can change from day to day.
At Argentina Big Hunting, we combine detailed planning with the flexibility necessary to make the best decisions in the field.
Our goal is simple: to maximize every hunting day and provide each hunter with the best possible experience.
The Argentina Big Hunting Experience
Outstanding hunting is only part of the adventure.
Comfortable accommodations, traditional Argentine cuisine, excellent wines, personalized one-on-one guiding and an experienced professional staff all contribute to making every trip memorable.
What our guests remember years later is rarely just the number of birds they harvested. They remember the first sunrise over the dove roosts, the work of a great pointing dog, the professionalism of our bird assistants, conversations around the dinner table and the friendships created during days spent in the field.
Those moments cannot be measured by a game bag.
They are what make hunters return to Argentina again and again.
At Argentina Big Hunting, that has always been our goal.

Argentina Cast & Blast
Imagine beginning one day battling one of South America's most aggressive freshwater game fish and spending the next surrounded by thousands of fast-flying doves in one of the world's greatest wingshooting destinations.
Few places in the world allow sportsmen to combine two completely different world-class outdoor experiences without changing lodges. That is exactly what makes our Argentina Cast & Blast program so unique.
One Destination. Two World-Class Adventures.
When we selected Entre Ríos as the home of Argentina Big Hunting, our goal was simple: to create the most complete wingshooting destination in Argentina.
What we discovered was something even more unique.
One of the very few places where outstanding Golden Dorado fishing and world-class high-volume dove shooting can be enjoyed from the same comfortable lodge.
No domestic flights.
No changing accommodations.
No unnecessary travel.
Simply more time enjoying two unforgettable sporting experiences.
Golden Dorado – The Tiger of the River
The Golden Dorado is widely recognized as one of South America's finest freshwater game fish. Famous for its explosive strikes, spectacular jumps and incredible fighting ability, it has become one of the most sought-after sport fish for anglers visiting Argentina.
Our fishing programs take place on the beautiful Uruguay River with experienced local guides who know these waters throughout the fishing season.
Fishing activities are conducted in accordance with current provincial regulations, promoting responsible and sustainable management of this remarkable fishery.
High-Volume Dove Shooting
Argentina's legendary dove shooting perfectly complements the excitement of Golden Dorado fishing.
Because dove hunting is available year-round, hunters can easily combine both activities during the fishing season.
Rather than dividing the day between fishing and hunting, we normally recommend dedicating full days to each activity. This allows anglers to fully enjoy the changing feeding activity of Golden Dorado throughout the day while also experiencing uninterrupted high-volume dove shooting under the best possible conditions.
Alternating fishing and hunting days creates a more complete and rewarding adventure while allowing guests to enjoy each activity at its fullest.
Designed Around Your Vacation
One of the greatest advantages of our Cast & Blast program is efficiency.
Because both activities are based from Santa Adela Lodge, guests maximize their vacation enjoying Argentina instead of spending valuable time traveling between distant destinations.
Comfortable accommodations, outstanding Argentine cuisine, excellent wines and personalized service complete an experience designed for sportsmen who expect much more than simply a fishing trip or a hunting trip.

Argentina Wingshooting Lodges
Exceptional hunting deserves exceptional accommodations.
At Argentina Big Hunting, we believe that a successful hunting trip is about much more than the birds harvested during the day. It is also about returning to a comfortable lodge, enjoying outstanding food, sharing stories with fellow hunters and experiencing the genuine Argentine hospitality that has made our country one of the world's most popular hunting destinations.
Our wingshooting operation is based in Entre Ríos Province, near Buenos Aires, where every decision has been made with one objective: maximizing our guests' time in the field.
Rather than selecting a lodge simply because it was close to Buenos Aires, we carefully chose a location that allows hunters to stay close to the hunting areas, minimizing daily travel and maximizing time spent hunting.
Santa Adela Lodge
Santa Adela Lodge is the heart of our wingshooting operation.
Designed specifically for international hunters, it offers comfortable guest rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite television and spacious common areas where guests can relax after a successful day in the field.
Whether returning from an exciting duck hunt, a memorable morning behind pointing dogs, a high-volume dove shoot or a day on the Uruguay River pursuing Golden Dorado, the lodge provides the perfect place to unwind before the next adventure.
Argentine Hospitality
Every meal is an important part of the experience.
Our guests enjoy traditional Argentine cuisine prepared with fresh local ingredients, featuring our famous beef, excellent regional wines and homemade specialties that reflect the warmth of our country.
Many hunters tell us that some of their favorite memories are not only the moments spent hunting, but also the conversations shared around the dinner table after another unforgettable day outdoors.
Professional service, personalized attention and a relaxed atmosphere have become part of the Argentina Big Hunting experience.
