Argentina is well known among big game hunters worldwide for the outstanding and variety of hunting there. Argentina is probably most famous for its great European Stag and Boar but also has outstanding Black Buck, Axis, Mountain Lion and Asiatic Buffalo hunting. The current game list for Argentina is mostly a product of introduction during this past century. Just like in Texas, exotics were introduced to add variety to the game list. Today many introduced exotics are well established in Argentina and are free ranging.

Our guides have extensive big game experience and each year host numerous hunters from around the globe. The hunting is conducted on numerous ranches in various parts of the country, depending on game numbers, quality, and the species sought. These ranches vary in size from six thousand acres to over thirty three thousand acres. These ranches are havens for wildlife and receive little hunting pressure. The terrain is diversified ranging from open plains to heavy vegetation.

Seasons vary according to the species. Generally, big game is hunted March to August. The Red Stag rut is typically March 15 - April 15. During this time, you can hear the thrilling roar of the stag, just like the bugle of the Elk in the US. The hog hunting for European Boar is about the best in the world. These can be hunted with a pack of Argentine Dogos. Argentina has one of the largest native populations of Mountain Lion or Puma in the world and thus the success rates are among the best anywhere. Black Buck are numerous and many long and thick horned specimens can be observed on a typical hunt. The beautiful and spotted Axis Deer thrive here and grow thick multi-branched racks. If really Big Game is your desire, we offer a unique and exciting horseback marsh hunt for ill tempered Asiatic Buffalos.

A hunter pays a daily fee of just $300 a day and then pays a trophy fee for the animals he desires. The daily fee is all-inclusive. Hunts can range in duration from a few days to a week or more depending on what each hunter's goals are. Hunts are custom tailored for each hunter. Wing shooting can become an extension of the Big Game hunt if a hunter desires.

Accommodations are first class. Hunters are normally housed on beautiful estancias located right on the properties. Delicious Argentine style meals with wine and beer are included in the package.
