Most agree that Argentina is the top destination for wing shooting. If you are searching for the best place to hunt, Wingshooting Unlimited, an NWTF Diamond Life sponsor located in Santiago del Estero, is THE place. It could be defined as a bird sanctuary. Only three outfitters operate in the province, bordering Cordoba to the north, which results in an amazing number of birds across the sky throughout the year. We can provide true mixed bag hunting out of just one lodge. Partridge (perdiz) and pigeon can be combined at your choice any time of the year. And for fishing lovers, the best golden dorado can be fished in the Salado and Dulce rivers. Dove, duck and pigeon hunting, and the finest upland perdiz pursued over exceptional trained pointing dogs. On a typical dove hunting day, you can shoot up to 1,000 rounds or more, with 15-20 boxes of shells spent! It is impossible to describe unless you experience it!
We will meet you at Santiago del Estero Airport and drive you to La Pichona Lodge, just 20 miles from the city. Dove hunting takes place in our fields, about 7 miles from the lodge. Duck will take place just a short drive from the lodge. The lodge comfortably accommodates up to 12 people, offering a pleasant stay. All rooms (double or triple) have private bathrooms, air conditioning and heating. Wi-Fi also available. All the meals, made by our chef, give our guests the chance to taste the best Argentinean beef and wines, in addition to the daily hunt. We can book a hotel and shuttle service in Buenos Aires to avoid loss of time and inconvenience on arrival and make all the necessary arrangements if you wish to visit the city or enjoy a dinner Tango show.
