The Shooting
Cordoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. The 100 square mile radius (160 km ) around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 40.000.000 million dove. The lodge enjoys 55 shooting fields all within a scenic drive through the region’s rich farmland. Each day the lodge donates hundreds of doves to local public dining rooms in the area.
Shooting out of Pica Zuro lodge, normally takes place in the nearby hills, driving only minutes to the several different fields, which provide excellent and continuous shooting.
The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast and short drive to the shoot.
In the field you will be assigned a pick up boy, who will provide you with shells and refreshments and direct you to your shooting stand.
Normally the shooting is situated in a flyway, where the doves are flying to and from their roost to grain fields to feed.
You will be constantly visited by your main guide who will be available to assist you with any need, even give you some tips on your shooting if required.
Depending on the time of the year you will shoot till noon when you will be treated to an incredible barbeque lunch, shaded by a comfortable safari tent, tasting some of Argentina’s wonderful beef and superb wines.
Afternoon begins at around 2 or 2:30 hr., and continues until almost dark. There is no definite time to close the shoot.
Return to the lodge for cocktails and early dinner.
