Dove Hunting in Argentina in 2006
Dove Hunting in Argentina Feb. 2006 Pa has a limit of 12 Doves
per day. So you can imagine that this is not where you will find
me. I took my son Jamie and went to Argentina where there is no
limit. We were accompanied by several friends from our area of
Bucks County Pa. We spent a week on this trip. We were able to
see some of this finest Dove hunting areas in the world. There
are millions of doves in this region of Argentina near Cordoba.
Over the last two decades, Cordoba province has become
synonymous with the phrase "High-volume dove hunting." The
region has a delightful climate that allows grain crops such as
corn, sorghum, wheat and peanuts to flourish most of the year.
This enormous food supply is bordered and interspersed with
density hillside roosting cover, and the combination of food
source and roost has produced a population of Zenaida Auriculata
estimated to be over 20 million birds -- Argentina doves that do
not migrate, reproduce up to four times annually and provide
literally year-round shooting. These birds have been estimated
to consume up to one third of the grain crops in the area. Dove
hunting in Argentina is an activity that must be experienced
rather than explained. Dove and Pigeon are considered to be
plague in the area, so there are no bag limits or seasons for
hunting them. Hunters regularly use two guns and a reloader to
prevent barrel overheating, as they may go through 1,000 ( a
thousand) rounds in a morning. Because of this last reason and
the fact that they are considered a plague, the local
authorities have not established any bag limits or special
seasons for dove hunting. For more on our hunting and fishing go
