What kinds of shells are available?
We have 12, 20, 28 and 410 gauge shotgun shells. We recommend you contact us with
your preference of gun type and gauge of shells you would like to use so we may
check availability. We use RD and Active shells, number 7.5 shot.
Is it hard to bring our firearms into Argentina?
If you wish to bring your own semi automatic guns, please contact your local
Argentine Consulate to obtain a gun entry permit. If you wish to bring an Over &
Under shotgun, you do not need a permit. But please check with us about bringing
guns into Argentina before your trip. The fee to enter each gun into Argentina is
$140 to be paid at the airport. If you come through Buenos Aires, this procedure
requires a licensed person to do the paperwork and it has a cost of $500 (gun entry
and gun exit). If you come to Cordoba directly, we do this procedure with no extra
cost. In both cases, we do need to have all the information of each gun you are
bringing, to prepare the gun paperwork in advance. Keep in mind that sometimes the
waiting time to register your guns at the different airports, can take easily 45
minutes, so pay attention to the connections with your flights.
What guns are available for rental?
H&H has more than 200 guns for rent: Benelli Montefieltro Semiautomatics and
Beretta Silver Pigeon over and under, all 20 ga. We also have some Berettas over and
under 28 ga.. We provide 2 guns per day so you will shoot with one while the bird
boy loads the other one. We have some extensions to make the stock longer if you
need it, and we also have guns with shorter stocks, and shoulder pads as well.
Am I allowed to bring my own shotgun shells?
No. You are not permitted to bring shotgun shells into Argentina.
How many shotguns can we bring?
If you wish to bring your own guns, you are allowed to bring 3 guns per person to
Argentina for hunting purposes.
When is the best time to come?
There is no season for Dove Hunting in Cordoba, Argentina, since it is all year
round. It is very normal to shoot 1000 or more doves a day! The best time depends on
the available dates for you, and your weather preferences. Remember, our seasons are
opposite of the northern hemisphere. We can offer you hunting in the fields or in
the hills. From late March/April to July (our autumn / winter), we hunt in the
sorghum, millet and sunflowers fields. In the sunflowers fields that we plant
specifically to attract doves, the driving times are anywhere from 5 minutes to 45
minutes. In the afternoon, we usually hunt in the roosts where you can experience
high volume birds. From August to February, we usually hunt in the hills; this is
the best season for high birds. Shooting is usually all day from 9:00 to 12:00 am,
and 14:30 to 18:00 pm depending on your preference. March is normally a transition
season when the birds migrate from the grain fields to the hills.
How far is the drive to the fields?
The drive could be between 5 to 50 minutes, depending on the lodge and season…
depending on where the doves are at the time. In the grain fields season, from
February to August aprox, from SIERRA VERDE, LA PORTEÑITA and RIO SECO, we have the
fields very close to the lodges. At LA PORTEÑITA, we hunt across the road from the
lodge, about a 10 minute drive. We have planted many acres of fields with sunflowers
to have the hunting close to the lodges. At GUAYASCATE, we have also planted many
fields around the lodge.
Do you have any left-handed shotguns available?
We do not have left handed guns, but we can offer over and under guns, or we can
adapt a left handed stock if necessary.
Is there a minimum of days / hunters?
There is no minimum. You can come alone or with a big group, and stay only 1 day or
1 week. We can accommodate you according to your preferences and available dates.
Most trips are 3-4 days long. You can check on the calendar on the website for
available dates, according to the lodge you have chosen.
