High Volume Dove Hunting Near Buenos Aires

The New Paradise for Wingshooters

Most wingshooters know "Cordoba" as the world capital for dove hunting. While the volume there is undeniable, traveling to Cordoba has become a logistical challenge—requiring domestic flights, transfers, and lost days.

Based on years of experience, we discovered a smarter alternative: Entre Rios. Here at AWS Lodge, we offer the same high-volume dove shooting (millions of birds) as Cordoba, but with a massive advantage: we are located near Buenos Aires. This eliminates the need for domestic flights, overweight luggage charges, and travel delays.

You land in Buenos Aires, hop in our luxury van, and start hunting the same day.

Top Dove Hunting Techniques

The Eared Dove Plague

The Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata) is non-migratory and breeds up to four times a year in Entre Rios. With an estimated population of over 30 million birds in our region, they are considered a national pest to agriculture. This is why we have no bag limits. Hunters can expect to shoot 1,000+ shells a day, helping local farmers protect their crops while enjoying world-class sport.

Recommended Gear

High-volume shooting is an endurance sport. While 12-gauge is available, we highly recommend 20-gauge semi-auto shotguns (Benelli or Beretta) to reduce shoulder fatigue and recoil over thousands of rounds. We provide premium local ammunition loaded specifically for reliability in high-heat, high-volume scenarios. Shoulder pads and ear protection are a must.

A Typical Day

07:30 AM: Full breakfast at the lodge.
08:30 AM: Short drive (35-55 mins) to one of our 3 roost.
09:00 AM: Morning shoot begins (constant action).
12:30 PM: Traditional Argentine Asado (BBQ) served in the field.
02:30 PM: Afternoon shoot continues until sunset.
06:00 PM: Return to lodge for cocktails and dinner.
