Pigeon hunting in (San Luis) Argentina

For more than twenty years, South Pioneers Lodge has been recognized as one of the best destinations in Argentina for pigeon hunting.

This memorable experience is built around consistent pigeon hunting, first-class lodging and gastronomy, plus the kind of attention to detail that matters to both demanding hunters and those who would like to experience the fascination of pigeon hunting for the first time.

This combination has made our first-time visitors recommend our lodge to their friends and wish to repeat their trip with us.

Nearly 60% of our guests return to the lodge, some of them between 3 and even 10 times!

Why do hunters come back again and again?

The South Pioneers difference

What sets apart pigeon hunting at South Pioneers is much more than a good hunt at the field, it´s the consistency of the experience.

First, you will be hunting over 200,000 acres in the largest pivot-irrigated area in Argentina. Because farmers control the water supply, they can seed every 15 days and harvest every 15 days from April through August. As a result, there are plenty of peanuts, corn, and soybeans throughout the season.

That steady food supply keeps pigeons moving through the area by the millions.

But what really turns the presence of pigeons in the area into a great hunt for you is the daily work of South Pioneers’ seasoned guides. They constantly scout pigeon movement and feeding patterns so that you are placed where shooting will be most productive.

The person behind it

It started with a field, a flock of pigeons, and a decision.

Twenty years ago, when most outfitters in Argentina were focused on dove, Ramiro saw something different in these fields — and in the pigeon. He’s been refining that focus ever since: the right spots, the right season, the right number of hunters per year to keep it sustainable.
