Argentina

     
 
 

Hi again!

 

May 9th, 2011

Dear friends, here we are again with the latest hunting and fishing news from Argentina. Truly, last four month was probably one of the best seasons in the last 5 years. Dorado fishing was amazing in all the fishing areas the challenging freshwater Dorado leave. Wing shooting, as good as ever: lot of doves. And, big game: the star… the size and quality of the hunted trophies were the best! The following are some testimonials and experiences.

SANTA ROSA, La Pampa province, Argentina
Big game hunt.

 
   
  Bo, Pablo and Loney after a great Water Buffalo hunt.   Nick Wirght with his very nice 14 pointer red stag!
 
 

During March and April different groups friends hunt during the red stag rut. Not only red stags, also water buffalo, axis deer, fallow deer, blackbuck antelope, four horned ram, and wild boar. La Pampa is still one of the best destinations all over the world for this wide variety of trohpies. Results are always very good.

Bo Carter and Loney decide to visit Mapu Lodge this year, after buying the SCI Hunting Donation, Nico Catena (owner of the ranch) made for the 2010 SCI Show that took place in Reno. Some pictures tell us about the great hunt they made. See you in Tennessee Bo!

Young hunters! Big success: Congratulations to Alisha and Nick Wright, and to Bart Taylor, Mike Walter and Tyler Light. They spent a full week hunting for different trophies and the results can´t be better: very nice red stag, blackbuck antelope, axis deer, fallow deer and muflon. La Pampa confirm is still the heart of the big game hunt in Argentina.

And special thanks to Nico Catena, his father and all the lodge staff because of the professional work and because they make us fill at home.

SANTA FE and ENTRE RIOS provinces, Argentina
Summer Duck hunt and Dove shooting + Dorado fishing!

 

As I've mentioned, the wing shooting during January and February was really good. Every hunter that shoot for ducks reach the bag limit every day and when they go out for doves, a blast! Thousands of doves everywhere. No limit. Every year in Argentina more an more fields are been harvest providing birds lot of food: Soybean, Sorghum, Sun flower and whit. Birds paradise!!! and bird hunters too...

"Pablo Thanks for the great hunt and looking forward to doing it again next year or the following. Regarding the hunt, I would tell you that I have hunted and fished all over the world, and your operation is one of the better run operations that I have experienced. The hunting, food, guides, equipment and overall good times would be hard to beat elsewhere in the world. Overall it was a great experience and I am looking forward to my next visit to Argentina... hopefully next time though I make the flight! I will send you a couple of pictures once I get them downloaded and on the computer. Cheers for now"
