Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the limit on Doves per day?
There is no limit!! They are considered an
agricultural pest. Approximately 25 % of the crops
are lost to these birds. In the Cordoba region alone
there are over 35 million doves. The limits for the
doves are how many your shoulder can
2. Can I bring Ducks or Doves back home?
Yes, however going through U.S. Customs with them
can be a problem. Sometimes it results in having to
dispose of them prior to re-entering the country. If
you still desire to attempt to bring some home, be
sure to bring a cooler with you.
3. What happens to the Ducks/Doves I shoot?
As many as you desire will be prepared for you to
eat. The rest are given away to the bird-boys and
local families. They are not wasted.
4. Is Argentina a safe place?
The government has recently gone through changes in
an effort to stabilize the economy. The efforts
appear to be working. Throughout the country it is
business as usual in Argentina is a Democracy. At no
times on my trips have I felt unsafe. However we
always take reasonable precautions. We like to keep
honest people honest.
5. What is the Currency exchange rate?
The value of the Argentina Peso fluctuates. Lately
it has been approximately 3.5 peso’s to one U.S.
Dollar. Personal purchases can be made in local
stores and paid for with U.S. Dollars. The store
keepers will calculate the exchange rate for you.
However change will be made to you in peso. Credit
cards are also taken at many stores.
6. Can bring my own gun to Argentina?
Bring your personal gun to Argentina is not any
problem: before you come, you just have to give us
some information about the gun, and we will fill in
the papers for you. In all our prices we included
the cost of the importation of 1 gun, if you want to
bring a second gun you must pay an extra US $100
(that is for the police permission)
7. Can I rent a gun there?
Yes, sure. In every lodge we have guns for rent. We
have Italian gun´s (Berettas and Benellis) available
caliber 12 or 20.
8. How can I get there?
That depends what kind of hunting you are interested
in and the place that you have to fly. To hunt just
doves, or the combo doves and ducks, we recommend
flying direct to Cordoba city. American airlines and
Lan Chile has flights every day from different
cities in the USA direct to Cordoba. If are you
going to hunt just ducks, or the combos of ducks and
goose, you have to fly to Buenos Aires. A lot of
Airlines fly there every day.
In our price we do not include the airline
tickets, but we will be glad to assist you with your
choice of airline and the purchasing of your ticket.
There is no cost for this service.
9. Are VISA’s or permits required for this trip?
Gun permits will be obtained when you arrive in
Argentina at the Customs Agent. No Visa’s are
required.
V.I.P. – The U.S. Customs agents will require
that you have a FORM CF-4457 completed prior to your
departure. It lists a description of your guns along
with the serial numbers. (Don’t worry, your not
registering them …this is a single copy form and you
will have the only copy). This form proves that you
owned these guns when you left the country. It will
prevent you from paying duties on their value upon
re-entering the U.S.A. You can do this at any U.S.
Customs office prior to your departure.
