Here the match will go with Santiago del Estero Lodge as this lodge will offer for many months (April 15th to Nov. 15th), the possibility to do dove shooting but also add a few very good pigeons’ hunts. Pigeons are plentiful in Santiago del Estero. Clients will be able to add this as an extra hunt for a full day, or half a day. Normally, when hunting pigeons, as a difference with the doves, we spend the full day at the field, doing the traditional barbecue on the field, just as we do in Córdoba.

David Denies has a rich history of social responsibility in the communities where we work and live. All of our lodges work closely with the Maria de la Esperanza Mission, located in the San Marcos Sierras region of Córdoba, Argentina, a non-profit organization with a long history of charitable work in remote and vulnerable areas.
The birds are collected after each hunt, cleaned, prepared, and brought to the foundation to feed needy families in and around Córdoba & Santiago del Estero. A portion of each box of shells sold goes to support the Foundation by providing much-needed funds for food, electricity, gas, building supplies, and school materials for each community center.
We also encourage our guests to contribute with donations that go toward building additional safe havens, where children are fed, receive after school classes, and take part in recreational activities.

While the location of the shooting fields may change, it is due more to the season than the lodge chosen. All three of our lodges can offer incredible, fast-paced shooting in the famed Hills of Córdoba, depending upon the time of year you visit.
Traditionally, between August and February, you will be hunting the hillside dove roosts which are plentiful in the areas and just a short drive from our lodges.
With over 300,000 acres of private dove hunting ground, more than any other outfitter in the business, David Denies can offer you the greatest variety of shooting scenarios available at any time of the year you choose to visit.

Traditionally, between March and August, you will be hunting along the vast swaths of agricultural fields which abound in this area of Córdoba. This is the harvest season, and at this time the birds move from field to field, following the grain harvest. Every day our teams of dedicated scouts are glassing our fields, to find the perfect hunting location for you.
With over 300,000 acres of private dove hunting ground, more than any other outfitter in the business, David Denies has the ability to follow the birds, wherever they may roam, and put you in the best possible place to experience the incredibly high-volume dove shooting you have dreamed of.

On most days, the location of the shooting field, combined with the wind and weather conditions will dictate how high the birds will be flying, but our experienced field managers and guides will do their best to find just the right spot to get you on the type of birds you wish to pursue.
In the hills, you might find yourself shooting from the bottom of a steep valley, or in a riverbed flanked by tall peaks or maybe a saddle between the hills with just the right wind and perfect approach of birds to offer the challenging shooting you are looking for.
No matter what time of year you wish to visit, we will always do our best to put you in position to experience the shoot you have dreamed of, and with our extensive collection of over 300,000 acres of dove habitat, we can offer the best opportunity for the shooting scenarios you desire.

All of our David Denies Dove lodges are ideally located to offer the best possible logistics, before, during, and after your hunt.
All three lodges at Córdoba are just about a 90-minute drive from Córdoba International Airport, so you will land in the morning and be at the lodge shortly thereafter, enjoying a delicious Asado lunch and an afternoon of shooting. During your hunt, you will experience drives to the field ranging from 15 to 45 minutes on average.
During the harvest season, when the birds are traveling each day to the grain fields, drives might be on the longer side of that average, but with over 300,000 acres of prime dove fields, we can assure you the shortest drives possible. This vast acreage also allows us the opportunity to rest our fields longer than any other outfitter, keeping hunting pressure on any given field extremely low, providing great shooting opportunities every day of the year.
Santiago del Estero Lodge also offers short drives on average in the range of 15 to 35 minutes, with the possibility of returning to the lodge every day for lunch and siesta.
