Dove Hunting

Experience ultra high-volume shooting

La Criolla:

Where the skies are filled with doves

Come to La Criolla with friends or family for a dove hunt that’s safe and full of action. With huge flocks in our agricultural fields, every member of the group gets to practice different shots and build confidence. Check our guest records to see typical daily totals, and contact us about family packages, group rates, and safety briefings.

The fact that we own and manage most of the land we hunt on, allows us to offer comfortable field setups with huge flocks flying by, so that every member of the group can have thousands of opportunities.

Close to the Action

With an on‑property dove roost and strategically placed blinds, hunters can be in the field minutes after breakfast. Short transfers and nearby stands mean relaxed mornings, lunch and nap at the lodge and longer afternoons in prime hunting areas.

Overview

We are literally surrounded by roosts and crops inhabited by over 30 million doves. Come and discover a sky covered with doves on their way to the fields in search for food, offering an incredible sight, worth making to memory.

High Volume Dove Hunting Program

Each day affords six to seven hours of great, steady shooting starting around 7:00 am and always returning to the lodge at noon for an incredible barbeque lunch with the best Argentinian wines and a siesta. Our more than 40 shooting areas located no more than 15-20 minutes away allow us to give the hunters numerous shooting options every day and all year around with no season or bag limits.

Arrival & 1st Day

Guests arrive to Buenos Aires in the morning(Ezeiza International Airport). Once they land they charter a 90 minute charter flight and land directly on our property. We arrange charter flights with Pilatus PC12 and Cessna Caravan airplanes. Landing in the lodge is around 1:00PM on day one, then have lunch, take a nap and go hunting around 3:00PM Some guests like to stay in Buenos Aires and enjoy the city for one night. In that case, we arrange the ground transfer to the hotel, tours, and the pick up and transfer to the domestic airport the next day, where flights fly into Santa Fe city. We drive guests to the lodge (2 hrs), have lunch and hunt in the afternoon.

Following days

On the second day we start shooting morning and afternoon for high volume doves. Every day we build custom-made blinds in the crop fields where they feed in the morning and in the roosts in the afternoon. Each hunter is provided with everything he needs by his bird-boy including a cooler, insect repellent, gun parts, etc. A supervisor is permanently driving by the blind to make sure the hunter is well taken care of, his gun is working properly and he does not run out of ammunition. The shooting sessions stop whenever the hunters feel they are ready to go back for an appetizer and lunch. We charge by hunting day and the length of the trip is decided by the customer.

We recommend planning the dove hunting trips for no longer than 4 shooting days, since this type of shooting can be exhausting! In the last day we usually shoot in the morning, have lunch and head to the domestic airport.
