SEASONAL UPLAND HUNTING • TRAINED POINTING DOGS • MIXED BAG PROGRAMS

Perdiz & Upland Hunting in Argentina

Experience the traditional walk-up hunt for Perdiz over trained pointing dogs as part of a confirmed AWS Lodge Mixed Bag itinerary, reached directly by road from Buenos Aires.

What Is Perdiz Hunting in Argentina?

Perdiz hunting is a seasonal, walking upland experience conducted over trained pointing dogs in the grassland fields of Entre Ríos. The bird commonly called Perdiz is the Spotted Nothura, and the hunt is defined by the dog work, the approach to a firm point, the flush, and a fast instinctive shot.

At AWS Lodge, Perdiz is normally accessed through a structured Mixed Bag program rather than sold as a disconnected standalone field experience. A common itinerary combines a seasonal Perdiz morning with afternoon Dove shooting, while longer programs may also include Duck sessions.

Important: Perdiz sessions, limits, permits, dog teams, field access, and daily schedules depend on current provincial regulations, weather, field conditions, seasonality, lodge operations, and the written itinerary. No specific harvest or shooting result is guaranteed.

The Classic Walk-Up Experience

A Perdiz hunt is intentionally different from high-volume Dove shooting. Hunters walk suitable short-grass or mixed pasture terrain behind a guide and trained pointing dog. The dog searches the cover, establishes a point, and creates the controlled approach that defines traditional upland shooting.

The experience places greater emphasis on fieldcraft, dog work, safe positioning, walking pace, and accurate shooting than on volume. Sessions are commonly organized in small parties, often as two hunters with a guide and dog team, depending on the group, field, staffing, and confirmed program.

Exact dog breeds are not guaranteed. AWS Lodge selects trained pointing dogs and handlers according to the field, group, weather, dog condition, and operating plan.

Hunting Over Trained Pointing Dogs

The dog work is the center of the Perdiz experience. A trained pointing dog searches the wind and terrain while the guide manages pace, spacing, direction, and safe shooting positions. When the dog establishes a point, hunters approach under the guide’s direction and prepare for the flush.

Field conditions can change the pace of the hunt. Vegetation, moisture, temperature, wind, bird movement, dog condition, and hunter mobility all influence the session. AWS Lodge may modify the field, party structure, walking route, or duration when operational or safety conditions require it.

Perdiz hunting requires more walking than Duck or Dove sessions. Guests should describe mobility considerations before travel so the lodge can review the most practical format.

When Is Perdiz Hunting Season in Argentina?

The usual AWS Lodge Mixed Bag planning window is approximately mid-May through mid-August, commonly around May 15 through August 15. Final Perdiz dates, limits, permits, and field operations depend on the provincial regulations and authorizations in effect for the selected season.
