Daily Routine - Cordoba Argentina Dove Hunt at Los Chanares

7:30 a.m. - Wake up call. We're only 10-15 minutes from the shooting stand so you can enjoy a little more sleep. If you're an early riser, join us for fresh coffee in the outside dining area. Keep in mind that the driving from March-June is longer so wake-up is earlier

8:00 a.m. - Breakfast is served. Help yourself to fresh fruit, muffins, toast and eggs before you begin your day. You will definitely want to try the Argentinean favorite, dulce de leche.

8:30 a.m. - Head out to the field! Dove hunters will be caravanned to the fields. The morning hunt lasts 3-4 hours and is adjustable according to your preference.  Shoot your heart's content under endless birds.

12:30 p.m. - Enjoy a traditional Argentinean asado (BBQ) field lunch. Feast on delicious, homemade empanadas, dove brochettes, pork sausage, tenderloin, ribs, skirt steak, pork chops and much more.   

1:30 p.m. - Free time. Enjoy an afternoon nap in one of our comfortable hammocks/cots. Because of shortened daylight hours during the winter months, our winter guests may not have the benefit of this extended period of free time.

3 p.m. - Enjoy the best Argentina dove hunting in our fields during the 4-hour afternoon shoot. After the shoot, enjoy a professional upper- or full-body massage from one of our local masseuses.

• $30 per bird boy, per guest/day
• $50 for the household staff, per guest/day 

As an example, for a 3-day Argentina dove hunt you will spend approximately $300 in tips, which is $100 per day.  Guests should tip pick-up boys directly in the field.
