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.

At La Dormida Lodge, 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 resupply shells, retrieve downed birds and keep cool drinks at the ready.

The typical shooting day in Córdoba begins with breakfast at 8:00 AM, followed by a short drive to the preselected 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.

Service and an outstanding experience is the hallmark of La Dormida 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.
