Fin & Feather Safaris & South Pioneers Outfitters
Pigeons over Decoys plus Passing Doves
April - November / No Limits

To see thousands of Eared Doves passing overhead is mind-boggling. But to witness hundreds of pigeons responding to pigeon decoys, as ducks do, is another gunning sport in itself. The sport of "Pigeons Over Decoys" is many hundreds of years old in England. I personally have been involved, over the last many years, in the growth of Pigeon shooting in South America and like to refer to it as, "Land Duck Shooting", as these birds respond to decoys as well as ducks to decoys.

Most of our hot-gun Pigeon & Dove programs have been for 3 hunt days and four nights room & board. However, many clients have requested more hunt days due to the length of travel to Argentina for this wonderful hot-gun shooting. Believe you me; it is our pleasure to respond to those requests.

We will continue to offer "Pigeons Over Decoys" combined with Hot-gun Dove shooting, April thru October and "Doves Only" year-around.

Installing Decoys

Robo Pigeons

Recently, we moved our operation from Cordoba Province to San Luis Province for the following reasons:

*	We have an exclusive contract with the San Luis Government covering a 120KM hunting area.
*	Accommodations are in the luxurious Hotel Lujan, featuring single rooms & private bathrooms.
*	Our hunters have their own private lounging and dining area in the hotel.
*	Every evening, guests are treated to cocktails & hors d'oeuvres before dinner.
*	Breakfast & dinner are served at the hotel while lunch is served in the field, Asado, Bar-B-Q style.
*	Our unlimited hunting fields of sunflower, peanuts, soy, wheat & corn are 15 to 30-minute drives from the hotel.
*	We are the only hunting outfitter in this vast area of San Luis Province.

Hotel Lujan

Asado - Field Lunch

Since there is very little traffic at the hotel during hunting season, the hotel is practically exclusive to our hunters. We have contracted for 10 private rooms, well-heated or air-conditioned, with private restrooms.

Hunting Blind

Travel from home to our hunting area:
We suggest our hunters fly LAN Chile Airline out of Miami, or from the west coast from
LAX Airport to Santiago, Chile. From Santiago you would fly direct to Mendoza, Argentina, then clear customs in the Airport, which is easy for your group. After gun-check, Outfitter Ramiro de la Carreras will greet the group and provide the 3-1/4 hour transfer to your hotel. Long gun check lines do not exist in the Mendoza Airport as in Buenos Aires or Cordoba Airports. Drive time to hunting fields is 15 to 30 minutes each morning.
