Estancia Luis VI is truly a one-stop mixed-bag wingshooting destination, offering great gunning for five of Argentina’s sportiest species. The quality and dedication of La Pampa’s team make it your best mixed-bag shooting option. This estancia offers 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
The elegant giant perdiz is rarely found in other provinces, but it abounds in La Pampa’s brush. It is one of the premier sporting birds of the world, and gunning for this giant perdiz is a River Plate specialty. Guests may opt for our fantastic European-style driven shoot for these challenging targets, or hunt the traditional style over good bird dogs. The area also supports good numbers of the smaller spotted tinamou.
Pigeons also are plentiful in the brushy habitat favored by the giant perdiz. Expect hundreds of pigeons coming in to decoy from all directions. This is truly a great shooting experience that rivals or surpasses the pigeon shooting in England and Paraguay. Pigeon shoots and driven shoots are organized as a full day program or in combination with a half day of high-volume doves.
What is unique about the dove shooting here is that it can be enjoyed at any time of day, even during the cold months. There are just a few freshwater holes in the area (all the rest is saltwater). This fact forces the birds to concentrate in a very small area as they come into the water, and the gunners, strategically placed near the water, fill the air with minute flak. Many experienced dove shooters claim that the dove shooting here surpasses in volume and intensity the dove shooting in Cordoba, which has long been considered the world’s foremost dove-shooting destination.
