Dove Hunting in Argentina with C&C Outfitters

My father and I have been dreaming of hunting in Argentina for years. My father turned 69 and my wife said it was now or never. After researching it over the years and intensively in the last year, we decided to go with C&C outfitters. Boy, are we glad we did.
Pablo met us at the airport and made us immediately made us feel safe and welcome. We hunted that whole day. We had lunch out in the field, and were fed like kings. Nacho provided cots for us to take a cat nap to rejuvenate for the second half of the day. That night, we ate like kings again, and then crashed deeply into sleep.
The next day, Nacho took us into the mountains. The scenery made for a perfect backdrop to lunch outside. The food was grilled in front of us. The wine was better than we dared to expect.
The third day, he took us to the feed lots. The shooting there was amazing. My wife shot over 1000 doves that day. I shot over 2000. We had lunch at the lodge that day (as flies are a little more abundant at feed lots, and it was not far from the lodge). My wife had time to have a quick dip in the pool before driving back out to the feed lot for the second half.
Thursday, we arranged for videos and pictures to be taken. You can check out the video on youtube at YouTube

I can only continue to praise the hospitality and the enjoyable times that I have experienced while hunting doves with Nacho Castro in Argentina. His outfitting service, C & C Outfitters, is truly outstanding in every possible way. He takes a personal interest in every aspect of the hunt, the accommodations, and the ultimate comfort of his guests. His staff is courteous, helpful, and they strive to ensure that I have the finest hunt and relaxation time possible. I enjoy getting back to the Casa Rosada Lodge as much as I enjoy being in the field. I consider Nacho to be a very good friend and not just my outfitter. After 8 consecutive years hunting with Nacho, my only regret is that I didn’t know Nacho when I was younger.

Hi Nacho,

All arrived back ok. Just thought drop you a line Nacho, thanking you for a terrific trip this year. As always, hospitality from all your staff, absolutely terrific. All of them always go that one step further than they have to.

The standard of the dove shooting this year was second to none. Good high doves, in beautiful mountainside locations, aided at times by brisk winds, made them a challenge that any self respecting game shot from England would be honored to stand under.

Looking forward to next year already. God willing. Many thanks

Hej Nacho.

The trip was fantastic. Our experience at C&C Outfitters was everything you promised. The hunting was well prepared, beautiful spots, great “bird boys”, with lots of dove and pigeon! The food was fabulous and beautifully presented. The outdoor lunches were top. All of your staff was attentive, and informative about the country, hunting and lodge. From the pick up at the airport to the drop off, we felt like we were visiting friends at C&C Outfitters.

We hope we will be able to do it again.

Hunting Argentina
Here it is the day after Christmas and 4 weeks since hunting with you. I want to thank you for the hunt I had at your place in the roost area, the shooting was excellent and the bird boys were very good with providing good blinds and areas to move around in as the birds past from side to side, also the incoming shots. The type shooting that you provided would make any skeet shooter, sporting clay’s shooter think he was in shotgun heaven. I still cannot believe Miguel could load my shotgun and not interfere with my handling of my gun in such a safe manner, Pablo and his kitchen provided excellent meals with fine wines and good Argentine beef in the field and also in the dinner hour at night. I found my room and bed at night comfortable and very clean but the shower a bit tight as I am not a small man. If any person would like to talk to me or have any doubts about the quality you have at your guide service feel free to have them call me, as I can clue them in. As ever

I just finished five days of dove hunting with C & C Outfitters in the Cordoba area of Argentina.
The hunting, accommodations and staff were exceptional. I have visited six lodges in Argentina and Uruguay and have to rank the overall hunting and lodge experience among the very best. Nacho Castro runs the operation with a total commitment to customer service and satisfaction which is second to none. The food was excellent and non-stop. The dove hunting was the best of any lodge I have visited and offered different locations customized to his clients shooting preferences and experience levels. Our day by the river was magical. He was with us everyday in the field and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. My bird boy, Miguel, was amazing and also among the best I have hunted with. All these positives would be enough to choose C & C Outfitters, but when you add the fact that they are also flat out one of the best values in Argentina, you can’t go wrong.

Hi Nacho,

I know Ray wrote to you, but I also wanted to thank you and your staff for a wonderful time at La Rosada Lodge. The service and food was excellent. I also wanted to thank Maria for spending the day with us on the tour, we had a great time, and enjoyed visiting Cordoba. Had the best cappuccino I ever had there.

I mentioned to you that I like to cook, so if possible would you see if you can get me some of the recipes from the girls in the kitchen, especially for the Empanadas, Lasagne, the little Stuffed Squash with Cheese we had as a Appetizer also the sauce we had on the ravioli, and the chimichuri sauce we had at the asados. Also any of the dessert we had there. I hope this is not to much to ask of you. We loved everything we had there and look forward to visiting again.

Until next time

Nacho

My wife Carol and I had a wonderful time at La Rosada lodge. The service was excellent and the food so good, my wife would like the recipes.

As for the shooting, this was my third time to South America, and the best dove shooting I have had. All the blinds had great flights of doves and the shooting was fast, and challenging for any level of shooter. I cannot wait to return to La Rosada and to see Nacho and Miguel again.

Sincerely

Nacho,
I just want to thank you again for the wonderful hunt in Argentina. Everyone in our group said that it was above expectations and all are planning on returning again someday.
You food was excellent, and the drinks were perfect. The only change that I would make would be a little less because we were always too full of your good food.
Any way, Vaya con Dios and esperamos verles muy pronto.

To my very dear friend, Nacho,

I have recently completed my 7th trip with C&C Outfitters to hunt doves in
Argentina. Ignacio «Nacho» Castro manages and operates a superlative outfitter
service with great warmth and enthusiasm. The entire C & C staff are friendly
and anticipate every need of their guests. Claudio has been my bird boy for the
past three years and his company and encouragement have been great.

The meals are memorable and the Argentine wines are superb, especially when
served in a grove in the beautiful Argentine countryside. Nacho has become a
close personal friend of mine. Naturally, the dove hunting is the best in the
world. Nacho has access to farms and fields that have a greater dove population
than when I first came to Argentina.

The accommodations at the Casa Rosada and the tiny village of Inchilin are
extremely warm and comfortable. I’ve been on these 7 trips with C&C
Outfitters and they offer the best experience for a dedicated dove shooter, so
much so that I am going to participate in 2 hunts annually, beginning this
year.
