Booking
How do I book a hunt?
We require a 30% deposit of the basic hunt to reserve the dates. An additional 30% is due 90 days prior to the hunt and the balance plus any extras can be paid at the ranch once the hunt is over. All this will be detailed on the hunt invoice.
How far in advance should I book my hunt?
March and April hunts (red stag roar) are normally booked one year in advance. The furthest you can book your hunt is two years in advance.
What if I need to cancel my trip?
Deposits are not refundable. If you need to cancel your trip, the booked dates can be rescheduled and rolled over to the next hunting season with no fees or penalties.The deposit and pricing conditions are honored at 100% value.
Lodge
Is there wifi at the lodge?
Yes, there is wifi and cell signal at the lodge.
Can I travel with non hunting companions? What about children?
We accommodate non hunting companions as well. Children are welcomed from May to July where we have specific weeks set aside for family hunts.
Is there a dress code?
No. The atmosphere at the lodge is casual and informal
What type of electricity do you have at the lodge?
We have the EU standard, 220v. Most of the current cell and laptop chargers are good for 110-250v. What you will probably find useful is a universal adaptor for electrical outlets.
Do you offer laundry service?
Yes. Expect one day turnover.
The hunt
Can I bring my own gun?
Yes, there’s a form that must be completed before travelling and certain fees that must be paid at the airport. Most importantly, additional time will have to be allotted for the domestic flights and to clear airport security. Muzzleloaders, semiauto rifles and suppressors are not permitted.
Do I need a license for hunting?
Yes, and we will take care of having the license issued by the time of the hunt.
What’s the best time of the year to hunt stag?
March and April, when the rut (roar) takes place, are the most desired dates. However, we have very high success rate with rifle hunters in May-July as well.
What’s your success rate?
With rifle hunters it’s well over 90%. For bowhunters it drops to 85%
Can I hunt additional animals?
Yes, your hunting license allows for a second stag and for any of the other dozen big game species. Voluptua quaestio dissentias has ex, no eum aliquid tibique petentium.
After the hunt
How will the trophies be shipped? Can the taxidermy be done in Argentina?
Trophies can be shipped bleached, and hides salted/dried for taxidermy in the US or you can have the taxidermy done in Argentina and we’ll ship the finished mounts. That’s a decision that can be made once the hunt is over.
Do you assist hunters with getting the trophies back home?
Yes, we work with the largest trophy exporter in the country. This company ships more than 2,000 trophies every year to the US and EU. We will ship the antlers and hides to the exporter/forwarder in Buenos Aires approximately 30 to 45 days after the hunt. At that point we will put the hunter and his broker in touch with the exporter so they can settle the final details of the export documents and shipment. We will oversee the whole process. Expect the trophies to be shipped 4-5 months from the end of the hunt.
