Pointer Wing Shooting

The World's Premier High-Volume Bird Shooting Program. Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay

Pointer Wing Shooting has spent over twenty years building the most extensive and most operationally sophisticated wing shooting program in South America. Nine lodges across four Argentine provinces and two countries. Five dedicated field scouts working daily across every hunting region. Four species across multiple programs from high-volume dove in the Córdoba Sierras to technical pigeon in the Paraguayan Chaco, duck on the Parana River marshlands and Buenos Aires Province lagoons, and perdiz walked up behind pointing dogs on the open pampas. One outfitter. One standard. Everything South American wing shooting has to offer.

Four Species. Five Programs. Every Style of Wing Shooting Available in South America.

The Programs

Dove Hunting

The world's greatest high-volume bird shooting. Over fifty million eared doves across Córdoba, San Luis, Tucumán, Santa Fe, Uruguay, and Paraguay

Duck Hunting

Fifteen million ducks on the Parana River marshlands and over twelve species on the Buenos Aires Province lagoons. May to July.

Pigeon Hunting

Argentina's most technically demanding wing shooting challenge. Concealed blinds, decoy spreads, and the most deliberate and rewarding shooting in the program.

Perdiz Hunting

Walked-up upland hunting behind pointing dogs on the open pampas. Technical, demanding, and deeply satisfying for hunters who love the traditions of upland shooting

Mixed Bag Hunting

Duck, dove, perdiz, and pigeon across Santa Fe, Argentina and Lavalleja, Uruguay. The most versatile wing shooting experience in South America

Five Dedicated Scouts. Four Provinces. Every Field Checked Every Day.

Our Field Intelligence Operation

The difference between good dove shooting and extraordinary dove shooting in Argentina comes down entirely to field intelligence. Pointer Wing Shooting employs five dedicated field scouts working daily across Córdoba, San Luis, Tucumán, Santa Fe, and our international lodges in Uruguay and Paraguay.

These scouts are in the field every single day of the hunting season, locating primary bird concentrations, monitoring roost activity and movement patterns, identifying the most productive field positions for each day’s conditions, and communicating that intelligence to our guides before your group arrives at breakfast

Nine Exceptional Properties Across Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay

Our Lodge Collection

Every Pointer Wing Shooting lodge has been selected, operated, and refined to deliver the same standard of field operations, hospitality, and cuisine that defines the Pointer experience throughout. From the intimate six-guest Spanish-style estancia at Casablanca in northern Córdoba to the most resort-quality property in the collection at San Luis Lodge and Resort near the Comechingones Mountains.

from the original and most established Santa Fe waterfowl lodge at San Javier to the most remote destination in the program at La Plata Lodge in the Paraguayan Chaco, the nine properties in the Pointer Wing Shooting collection represent the most extensive and most carefully curated lodge network operated by any outfitter in South America.

Two Guns Per Blind at Every Property. Zero Interruptions to Your Shooting.

The Two-Gun Policy

Every hunter at every Pointer Wing Shooting blind across all nine lodges has two guns managed by a personal field assistant throughout the day. If either gun jams or misfires the assistant swaps it immediately and takes the malfunctioning gun to the field camp for service without a moment of lost shooting time.

The high volume of shooting in the Argentine program puts more rounds through a gun in a single day than most shotguns see in years of normal use. Equipment issues are inevitable at this volume and our two-gun policy ensures they never interrupt your hunt.

All guns are cleaned and serviced once daily. This policy applies at every blind at every Pointer lodge without exception.

The Hunting Brings You to Argentina. The Table Is What Brings You Back.

The Cuisine

Every Pointer Wing Shooting program is built around the Argentine table as deliberately as it is built around the fields. The midday field asado with Argentine beef cuts grilled over open fire and Malbec wine is one of the great communal eating experiences available anywhere in the hunting world and it appears at every blind session across every property in the collection.

The evening meal at the lodge reflects the regional culinary tradition of each specific property. In Córdoba the Cordobés goat a la cruz slow-cooked for three hours over an open fire alongside dove tempura on arrival with Malbec and mushroom risotto with chimichurri dove.

In Tucumán clay oven empanadas, humitas en chala, and the ancestral sweets of the northern Argentine tradition at La Salamanca.

In Santa Fe the river fish preparations of the Parana, Dorado and Surubi grilled over wood, alongside duck in wild herb butter, pigeon milanesa, and partridge escabeche.

In San Luis the delicatessen cuisine program of the resort with gourmet Argentine and international dishes prepared nightly.

In Uruguay the fresh and distinctly Uruguayan kitchen of San Jose Lodge with the day’s harvest in crepes and pies.

In Paraguay the Argentine asado tradition carried across the border intact at La Plata.

Protecting the Resources That Make This Possible

Conservation

Pointer Wing Shooting was the first outfitter in Argentina to establish a formal conservation program specifically dedicated to the bird and wetland habitats that support our hunting programs.

Through our nonprofit Making Changes Now we fund ongoing biological research into dove populations, duck populations, wetland health, and the environmental factors that affect bird numbers across the provinces where we operate.

We support Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, and the Coastal Conservation Association in the United States and we take the long-term health of the resources our guests come to experience as personally as we take the quality of the hunting itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lodge is right for my group?

The right lodge depends on your group size, the species you want to pursue, the time of year you are traveling, and the character of experience you are looking for. Contact our team and we will identify the best match based on all of those factors and help you build the right program.

When is the best time to visit?

It depends on what you want to hunt. Dove is available year round across most of our lodges. Duck runs from May through July at the Buenos Aires Province and Santa Fe lodges. Perdiz runs May through July at the Santa Fe and Uruguayan properties. Pigeon is available year round at La Salamanca and San Luis and from January through August at San Jose in Uruguay. La Plata in Paraguay hunts from June through September. Our team will advise on the best timing based on your species priorities.

How many days do I need?

A standard program runs four nights with approximately three and a half days of shooting. Most hunters find this is exactly the right amount of time to experience the program fully without fatigue. Groups who want to combine multiple lodges or multiple species programs benefit from staying longer and our team can design a multi-lodge itinerary based on your available time.

Can I bring my own gun?

Yes. Many guests bring their own shotguns and our team provides complete guidance on the Argentine, Uruguayan, and Paraguayan gun import documentation process. Twenty gauge is recommended across most properties though twelve gauge is available in the rental fleet at the Buenos Aires Province duck lodges. Contact our team before booking to discuss the import process for your specific situation.

What is included in the program rate?

All Pointer Wing Shooting programs include accommodations, all meals including the midday field asado, guide and field assistant service throughout every session, all guns and shells, and ground transportation to and from the field. International and domestic airfare, hunting licenses, guide gratuities, and personal items are not included.
