An Extra Special Hunting Trip

It is 7 am and we meet our guests for breakfast. We have a very special group this time. It’s a family trip! Jack, Alex, JP, Alexis, Trevor and Lei. They are absolutely passionate about hunting and this is another of their hunting trips to Argentina. However, it’s going to be extra special this time. Any guesses why?


Our guests are staying at La Loma Lodge. This beautiful Argentina Estancia was owned by one of the wealthiest families of Argentina in 1908 and now has been renovated and refurbished to welcome our guests with all its magnificence. The beautiful scenery and nice decoration together with the excellent service offered by its staff are not the only reasons why our guests choose it. La Loma Lodge is perfectly located 50 miles away from the airport and 50 minutes away from one of the best hunting areas. It can’t be denied that La Loma Lodge provides a superior stay experience.

Outside the lodge, everything is organized by our team to provide our guests with a unique experience. Our chef Federico guarantees fantastic lunches in the field. Lunches are a great opportunity to have a break and catch up with the rest of the team’s hunting results so far. They are also an opportunity to taste what this country has to offer in terms of meat. For appetizers, Federico has made delicious doves cooked with onions, just like our guests like them. The main course is the typical asado, the delicious barbeque grilled by the woodfire on the flor. This time it features ribs, sausages, chicken, pork, beef, loin, among others! Lunchtime is always a favorite!

The guns are an important part of the hunting experience. We are always working to offer our guests the best hunting of their lives. Argentina has an incredible volume of doves and we have our brand new Browning shotguns, cal 410 and Beretta Silver Pigeon, Cal 28. We also have Benelli Montefeltro Cal 20. Our friend Jack has asked us to use the Browning 410 full choke. They all look with an open mouth the shooting accuracy and reach.

Every good hunter likes to have their own good shotgun, of course. But in Cordoba, Argentina, a good shotgun has to show outstanding performance and comfort when firing more than 2 thousand shots, at least, a day.

Our guests have an extensive experience shooting 410’s. Lei and Trevor chose our Berettas 28 and they also liked them very much. 

Having said that our guns sport outstanding performance and that the volume of birds here is just unbelievable, it’s mandatory to mention that Jack, Alexis and Trevor made it to the 1000 birds club and got their T shirts. They also managed to get their spot in the 2 thousand birds club, and they got a nice shell pouch made out of leather which reads 2000 doves Pointer Outfitters.

So every hunting trip to Argentina is special, but I said that this trip was extra special. Mr JP proposed to Alex just in the middle of the field, in the hunting session! We got them some champagne and made sure we got everything recorded in camera! It was such a special moment. We were very happy for them, but also happy to know that they had chosen us for this unique, memorable day. After many years dating, they chose Cordoba, Argentina to take this big step.

A proposal in the hunting field, does anything else speak louder of hunting passion than this? I don’t think so...

Back to the hunting, our guests could enjoy one of the best hunting areas of the country. These field are strategically positioned between areas of water, crop land and roosts which makes the birds be constantly moving around the same area or field because they do not have to travel long distances for food or water.

We are starting to feel that summer is leaving us and fall slowly setting in. The mornings are warm and the afternoons sunny, the temperatures have settled down and that also stabilizes the birds behaviour. So far, it’s been a pleasure to serve all of our guests and to provide them with the best hunting experience ever. We really appreciate all their nice words towards our field and lodge staff. We hope to see you again!

All, 

Wow! Despite the astronomical number of doves we saw, I believe the Brittingham's and Phelan put a slight dent in the multitudes! Y'all were TERRIFIC and such fun to watch shoot the birds, as well as learn from. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the drives to and from the field, as well as our time at the lodge. For me, it was one of my all-time favorite trips. 

Looking forward to next time, as well as working on my own dang "1000 bird" tshirt. Ha! 

Best, 
Leigh

Best,

Alex Brittingham
