About the Hunt
The Shooting
The eared dove is the most prominent game bird in the area. A recent study by the Argentine Game and Natural Resources estimated the dove population in the area to be upwards of 32 million birds.
The eared dove is similar in size and appearance to the North American mourning dove. It’s distinguishing characteristic is flying throughout the day which ensures the opportunity for nonstop shooting. It is not uncommon to shoot between 2 to 4 cases of shells per day.
Owned and operated by Alex and Zeke Hayes, H&H Outfitters has spent the last 25 years developing a reputation for spectacular accommodations and impeccable customer service to create the finest dove shooting experiences in Argentina.
H&H Outfitters own or control over 20,000 acres of the best land in the heart of the prime roosting areas of Cordobae trees. The roosting areas are found in dense forest of the Piquillin trees, usually crossed by natural streams, producing an ideal habitat for the reproduction of doves. Vast and fertile valleys that surround the roost provide immense quantities of grain for the birds.
H&H Outfitters plant crops exclusively for doves on their land and use no till methods, which provide consistent and unlimited amounts of food. By practicing the proper game management techniques, H&H are the only outfitters in the area that offer excellent shooting throughout the entire year.
