ARGENTINA
BEST WINGSHOOTING IN THE WORLD

From the time HCU Consultant, Scott Steinkruger and his cousin arrived in Cordoba Airport until they were back on the plane headed back to Dallas, Steinkruger reported having the best time hunting that he had experienced in the last 20 years.  From the gourmet, yet hardy meals to the absolutely beautiful ranch-style estancia accommodations, your every need is attended to.  Located in the mountains just 1 1/2 hours from the airport, the outfitter’s claim to fame “Sleep under the doves” is no misnomer. 90 percent of the shoots are 2 to 15 minutes from the lodge.  What makes this hunt somewhat unique is the fact that mainly you are hunting in the mountains, not on flat farmland.  The views are majestic and the hunting rivals the finest bird hunts anywhere in the world.  Of course, the numbers of birds you encounter are spellbinding.  During each shoot, you constantly have doves coming within shotgun range.  The mountain shooting posts are reminiscent of European “driven” shoots, positioning hunters in the bird flyways.  It is not unusual to shoot 1000 rounds in a single shoot.  Hunts are 3 nights, 6 hunt affairs with your first hunt coming on the first afternoon of your arrival, then the next two days you hunt morning and afternoon, with the final day, you will make a morning hunt then lunch and then back to the airport for your flight home.  Your day starts with a hearty breakfast then you and your personal “bird boy” will be taken to your shoot.  Two to four hours of shooting, then back to the lodge for a barbeque lunch, a siesta, and then out for the afternoon shoot.  After your afternoon shoot then it is back to the lodge for a cool drink and a white glove supper.  Of course, it’s your hunt and you can hunt as long, or short, as you want.  Your bird boy will have your ammunition as well as ice cold drinks ready for you at all times.  Bring your own shotgun or rent their 20 gauge Berettas or Benellis at 70 dollars per day.  All transport in country, food, beer, wine and soft drinks is included in our packages.  Shotgun shells are $12.50 per box 12, 20 or 28 gauge. 

Steinkruger said that it is the perfect place to take your wife or a non-hunter.  Manuel and his staff will make sure their stay will be relaxing. 

The pricing below is a general guideline, but please call Scott Steinkruger at 806-679-9893 for special and customized pricing.  It’s a great place to have company retreats and family reunions.  Easily accessible from most major US airports.  Most flights go through Dallas and Miami/Atlanta.  You do not have to be a great wing shot or an experienced traveling hunter to enjoy this hunt.  Accommodations are for up to 12 people (double occupancy).  Your group will not be comingled with other groups.
