Cordoba - Argentina
Cordoba is the 2nd largest city behind the capital, Buenos Aires. It has an international airport that dove hunters coming to Cordoba enjoy bypassing the busy Buenos Aires airport for the short stop in Santiago and flying straight into Cordoba.
Argentina is located in the southern hemisphere so the seasons are opposite those in North America, Canada, and Europe. Summertime is December to February. Good warm summertime dove hunting can be experienced with the chance to take advantage of the large LC Lodge pool after a day in the field.
May to August is wintertime and when Cordoba becomes a wingshooting hotspot. Most people travel during the "summer" season and heading down to a cool weather scene is always a positive attribute of Cordoba dove hunts during May, June or July.
The dove hunting lodge is located about 1 hour from the Cordoba airport. We have had clients ask about staying in Cordoba and just coming out each day to shoot.
No, not recommended. First, part of the Cordoba dove hunting experience is the lodge, food, wine, staff and experience of enjoying the dove roosts in Cordoba.
