Amongst the Corn

The air was fresh, brisk, and felt cool on my face. The clouds were holding their pattern at the moment, however I knew soon the midday sun would begin to heat the air. We were hunting a relatively new area; a vast stretch of farmland with ponds spread sporadically throughout it.


Claes and his son Carl, had just left with their guides for the morning hunt. I felt excitement for them. It was their first time here in the beautiful country of Argentina; and Argentina was most assuredly a marvel, Cordoba being her crown jewel. She was vast and possessed unending splendors, wooing many a traveler to her bosom. 

The dove were flying slow in the morning. Most had headed to the roosting area and wouldn’t return until later to quench their thirst. I was aware of this fact and waited patiently for their absurd numbers to roll in like squads of jet fighters. Even a slow morning in Argentina is equivalent to an amazing hunt in the States. Sporadic at first, but growing in intensity, I began to hear gunshots in the distance. 

The camp today was set underneath a shady copse of trees. Blocking out most of the light, it was the perfect location for an afternoon siesta. Frederico and I began setting up the dining table. Gently, we laid the white table cloth over the table; placed the chairs around it, laid the placemats down along with the eating utensils, and then arranged the glass cups accordingly. Meanwhile, the other Frederico began building the fire for lunch. I went to set up the hammocks, while clearing cow manure from the surrounding area. Every part of Pablo’s operations are thought out and orchestrated to perfection. We spare no expense to make sure overall comfort is achieved.

Around 1:00 pm Claes and Carl returned from their morning hunt. Tired, they sat down sipping beer and looking at pictures Claes had taken earlier that day of Carl. The extent of a father’s love is fathomless, all encompassing, and a great sight to bear witness to. I knew then, there are few treasures greater to a father than time spent with his son. I adore music, all types and genres, so too did Claes. He shared with us a rather interesting Swedish song. From what he told me, the protagonist of said song was cheated on by her fiancée, finds the woman who cheated looking to kill her, and then they become friends! It was beautiful and highly intriguing. Alas, it was time for lunch. 

The feast began with bacon wrapped dove breast and a light salad, accompanied by the famous Argentinean Malbec wine. The next course, pork ribs cooked to perfection followed by chicken breast and thigh; lightly seasoned with lime and salt. The third entrée was tenderloin, pink in the center, which was extremely moist. Lastly, light and delicate flan. From the contented looks upon Carl and Claes, I can only assume they were stuffed to the point of bursting! Axel, a relative, just arrived as they were finishing. Famished, he sat down to eat and drink. They discussed various topics in their native tongue before the father and son took a siesta in the hammocks. 

Around 3:30 pm the afternoon hunt began. Smiles upon their faces, all three of the gentlemen were ready for some action! I visited their stands in the afternoon briefly to observe how the birds were flying and their individual hunting prowess. All three of them were exceptionally good shots. Axel though, was a killing machine. Sitting down, the giant Swede laid waste to dozens of birds. It was truly a sight to behold and I was astonished as I was bore witness to it. So much so that I forgot I had been standing behind him for so long! With a few polite words, he asked me to leave, and so I did. As the night began encroaching, so too did our hunt end. The gentlemen were pleased with the amount of birds in the afternoon. Since they were pleased, the staff was pleased as well. An amazing day, an amazing hunt, and some amazing people to be around!
