Dove Hunting in Córdoba

After more than two decades, the Province of Córdoba in Central Argentina continues to offer what many shotgunners consider the finest bird hunting experience available: high-volume Eared Dove shooting.
Hunting parties from all over the world, especially the United States and Europe, enjoy the wingshooting in Córdoba as well as the natural scenery and warm hospitality of the people.

Good road and airport infrastructure, along with varied flight options, make a bird hunting trip to Córdoba a simple and pleasant experience.

Economic and Social Impact

Dove shooting plays an important role in the economy of Northern and Eastern Córdoba.
It offers direct and indirect employment to thousands of families in rural areas where job opportunities are scarce.
For small-scale farmers in the Córdoba hills, leasing hunting rights provides an additional source of income that can make a significant difference.

The Dove Population in Córdoba

The non-migratory Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata), locally known as “Paloma Dorada” (Gilded Dove), thrives in the fertile valleys of Northern and Eastern Córdoba.
Agricultural lands combined with wooded hills provide the ideal environment for their growth.
Studies indicate a population of more than 30 million birds, which, without the mitigating effect of hunting, could pose a serious threat to agriculture.

The Role of the Chamber

Members of the Cordoba Chamber of Hunting Outfitters are all licensed, well-established, and reputable organizations.
The Chamber keeps members updated on National and Provincial regulations and represents them before government institutions such as the Governor’s office, the Córdoba Environmental Agency, Customs, the National Arms Register, and Tourism authorities.

Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned visitor, the Chamber recommends hiring one of its members to ensure a safe and trouble-free dove hunting trip to Argentina.
