+20 years in the dove huntING business

The finest dove hunt experience in the world

The reason we remain on every hunter's bucket list is that Argentina has become legendary for its high-volume dove hunting. As agriculture expanded over the years, it created the perfect environment for upland birds: roosting woods, a mild climate, the absence of natural enemies and unlimited sources of food.

Located in the heart of Argentina — also known as the dove hunting capital of the world — our lodge offers a beautiful location, unlimited high-volume dove shooting year-round, superb hospitality and affordable dove hunting all incusive trips.

Our operation has been in the dove hunt business for more than 20 years, with only one goal in mind: to provide our guests with memorable shooting experiences, so they visit us again and again. We believe certain attributes must converge — careful planning and attention to detail, experienced guides and scouts, exceptional shooting, traditional Argentinean hospitality, world-class accommodation and gourmet cuisine with a selection of our finest wines.

Argentina dove hunting reviews

A dream come true

“I placed an Argentina dove hunt on my wish list many years ago. Two years ago my wish became a reality when I saw an advertisement for Sierra Brava at the DSC show in Texas.”

Argentina dove hunting reviews

A dream come true

“I placed an Argentina dove hunt on my wish list many years ago. Two years ago my wish became a reality when I saw an advertisement for Sierra Brava at the DSC show in Texas. They answered the many questions I had and convinced me to book for our group of six hunters. They did all possible to ensure we were going to have a great hunt. The staff was friendly and efficient.”

JS — Fort Worth, Texas

“After a short drive, we were in the hills trying to keep up with our bird boys as they led us along narrow, machete-chopped trails to our individual shooting spots. Two and a half hours, 36 boxes of shells and 759 doves later, I called it an afternoon. Our group harvested almost 16,000 doves during our three-day hunt.”

365 days a year, no bag limits

When is dove season in Argentina?

Dove season in Córdoba, Argentina, is open 365 days a year with no bag limits — hunters average 1,000+ birds a day.

There is no closed season and no daily limit. The eared dove (Zenaida auriculata) is a resident, non-migratory species, and Sierra Brava estimates more than 50 million (50M+) doves in northern Córdoba. That is why the shooting is spectacular any day of the year.

Córdoba's climate is moderate and we are rarely affected by extreme weather. Keep in mind that the northern and southern hemisphere seasons are reversed — our winter runs June through August.

If you were wondering: when to dove hunt in Argentina?

How is the weather during the dove hunting season in Córdoba?

Depending on the year, it does not rain much — and when it rains, it usually rains at night.

It is hardly ever unbearably hot. There may be two or three weeks a year, between January and February, with very hot days.

It is rarely freezing cold. It has snowed once at the lodge in the last few years — and it was amazing how the birds still flew. Guests who come during our winter months of June to August rave about the crisp, cool weather.

We have about 330 days of clear blue, sunny skies. It is almost always perfect dove hunting weather.

Temperatures always drop at night, which makes for perfect sleeping conditions without air conditioning or heating.
