Hunter Roy Argentina
SERVICES
ARGENTINA'S DOVE & PIGEON
We are located in the north-east of the province of San Luis in the Conlara Valley; bordering the province of Cordoba on the west side of The Comechingones mountain range.
Merlo is the third microclimate of the world. It is also known as ‘La California Argentina’ with 300 days of sunshine per year. The valley is somewhere that you can see thousands of doves every day. You can literally find clouds of them when looking at the sky! The species is considered a plague.
The high concentration of doves and pigeons as well as the unbeatable weather conditions make Merlo one of the best places in the world to develop hunt of both species.
Are you ready to shoot like never before?
The different ways of hunting, such as nesting, on passage, and crops, allow us to have fun with a variety of shooting options.
A hunter can fire the amount of daily shots that their shoulder tolerates, and still have thousands of pigeons flying above them.
Guests of Hunter Roy Argentina will be shooting at the best migratory routes. These are found near lowland forests or around our exclusive area of peanut, corn and soybean crops with pivot irrigation. The dove hunting season is open all year.
The hunting of pigeons requires a good blind, carousels and robotic decoys, as well as knowledge and experience.
Hunter Roy guarantees you an unforgettable hunting experience!
Pigeons are more elusive than doves. They can see the hunters and will probably fly away. Once the hunting has begun, the dead pigeons will attract more pigeons to the hunting area. From here, the experience gets more and more complex and exciting.
We are looking forward to this incredible adventure with you!
Our hunting day begins around 7:00 a.m. with a full breakfast at La Quinta Lodge. We offer a mixed North American and Argentinian breakfast that includes coffee, milk, fresh juice, yogurt, cereal, fruit, toast, cake, homemade marmalades, ham, cheese, bacon and eggs.
At about 8:00 a.m. we leave for the short drive to the shooting range.
Once in the field, the professional hunting guide assigns an assistant for every two hunters. They provide the cartridges, refreshments, prepare the blind, count the birds, and, if necessary, light a small fire to keep warm in the early winter mornings.
Our staff will be available at any time to help you with anything you may need.
At mid-morning we offer fruit and cereal .
Depending on the distance and time of year, an outdoor camp, a traditional ‘Argentine asado’ (barbeque), and a ‘siesta’ (nap) may be offered.
Hunting continues until the sun sets!
After the shooting day has ended, we return to the lodge for cocktail, appetizers and an early dinner.
