In Argentina, perdiz literally translates to "partridge", a bird
slightly larger than North American quail that holds very
well for pointing dogs. Argentina perdiz hunts involve
leisurely strolling in low cover, maybe ankle-high. An
absence of snakes, cacti, or other unfortunate elements is a bonus.
Stylish, European-bred setters or English pointers hold perdiz with
staunch, picture-perfect points every time.
Most hunters marvel at how well perdiz hide in practically no
cover. It's not uncommon to perdiz explode into flight
plainly from between your boots! Perdiz have an eruptive takeoff
and make for thrilling shooting. But don't pat yourself on
the back too quickly - where there's one, there are usually two
perdiz. Argentina perdiz hunting has long been the staple of
Argentine sportsmen, and has gained immense popularity among
American wingshooting hunters.
Productive fields, superior pointing dogs, and good guides
usually results in brief, 2-3 hour hunts despite generous, 10-bird
limits. Around the dinner table, you'll enjoy another great
meal and exciting stories of famous hits - and infamous misses -
that Argentina perdiz hunts usually evoke.
