GENERAL
INFORMATION:
The province of Córdoba is centrally located in Argentina
and enjoys a mild climate that changes little throughout
the year. The thousands of acres of grain crops,
coupled with suitable roosting conditions, have produced
a dove population that is sustained at 23 million birds.
As with Pica Zuro, the typical shooting day commences
with breakfast, followed by a short drive to the fields
where doves blacken the skies. Dove shooting in the
region is fantastic, novice shooters will hone their
skills to exhaustion while veterans can target challenging
high flying birds or go for sheer numbers and shoot
at the waves and waves of doves just above the hills
and tree lines.
In the field attentive bird boys are on hand to re-supply
shells, retrieve downed birds and keep cool drinks at
the ready. Service and an outstanding experience is
the hallmark of Pica Zuro lodge nestled in the heart
of the shooting grounds of Cordoba.
Because Córdoba, Argentina offers a true year-round
dove hunting season, a two- or three-day extension can
be easily added to other shooting program like ducks,
dorado fishing, or even with trout fishing in Patagonia
region.

DOVE
SHOOTING PROGRAM:
The typical shooting day in Córdoba begins
with breakfast at 8:00 AM, followed by a short drive
to the pre-selected volume dove fields, then nonstop
pass shooting until lunch. Córdoba is fantastic for
all skill levels -- set your sights on the more challenging
high flying birds or go for sheer numbers and shoot
at the waves and waves of doves just above the tree
line. At times you’ll notice pigeons overhead which
are fair game as well.
Lunch is yet another reason why our clients love La
Dormida Lodge, weather permitting, you will enjoy a
wonderful meal in the field. The traditional asado-style
lunch features an open-air barbecue of famous Argentine
beef, dove, pork and sausages, complete with fantastic
wines and fresh crisp salads.
If you’d like, enjoy a relaxing siesta before returning
to the fast and challenging shooting. The afternoon
session will last until approximately 6:00 PM when you’ll
return to La Dormida Lodge. Relax by the pool with a
cocktail, explore the surrounding acreage or take a
nap before savoring a delicious dinner with your fellow
wingshooters.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
La
Dormida offers six luxurious rooms, living, bar and
dining areas. Dining and services are unmatched in the
dove shooting world. We feel La Dormida has truly set
a new standard. Enjoy the refreshing pool after long
day in the field during November through February, Argentina’s
summer months. During the coldest months of July and
August, relax next to a roaring fire in the inviting
living room.

HOW
TO GET THERE:
Because
Córdoba City is second in size only to Buenos Aires,
there are numerous international and domestic flights,
arriving and departing the nearby Córdoba’s Pajas Blancas
International Airport from all other major airports
in Argentina. Although there is no nonstop flight service
from the U.S, connections in Santiago, Chile and Buenos
Aires will generally put you in the fields by 2:00 PM
on arrival day. Domestic
and private flights can be arranged.
