I've been before and am ready to go again and shoot doves in Argentina. Wanted to see if anyone on here had experience with a outfitter and positives or negatives . Any recommendations are appreciated

Every guy I've talked to who has gone has said to mix in hunting something other than doves too. Perdiz (some sort of upland bird), duck hunting are good mixes. This is from guys who are pretty hard core bird hunters too. I guess shooting cases of shells at doves every day gets old?
Can you guys speak to this?

I took a group to my place in Cordoba in March 2014. First class all the way.
I'm taking another group in September of this year.
Most all lodges are priced within a few hundred dollars of each other. Once you add up what they are giving you the price usually comes out the same.
When are you wanting to go? How many in your group?

Parana Sunrise looks like a good spot. The mixed bag package looks real appealing. Dove, ducks, and golden dorado.

Save your shell money. Spent close to $3,400 on shells down there. That was shooting over 70% for the week. At $14 a box it gets expensive. The last day we were there I killed 1018 birds. You shot 70% of the birds you aimed at? I'm sure you shoot well, but those must've been chip shots to be that good of a batting average.

Once you realize that you don't have to shoot at marginal shots, your average will improve. The first hunt most folks have the "Alabama Dove Hunt" mentality. They shoot at most any bird that is somewhat in range. Once you realize that you don't have to shoot at all of them your average goes up.
My first shoot down there I shot around 50%. The next 3 days I shot closer to 80%. My 3 day average was 72% as was most guys on that trip.
The last full day there I shot 1204 birds. We hunted about 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. That night at dinner our host was going over the number of shells each shooter shot and the number of birds each shooter killed. I was very happy with my 1204 bird day until he said that his lodge best was 5294 birds for one shooter in one day. Then he tells us that the province record was 9,236 birds in one day for one shooter.
You really can't imagine what it's like until you see it yourself.

I've always wanted to go down and shoot birds like that but have to imagine that hunting here would never be the same. Did either of you guys find that the luster for an Alabama dove hunt was no longer there once your returned?
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

I still enjoy going to a bird shoot here but it's not the same as a trip down there.

I would love to go one day just for the experience but as much as I love to shoot I honestly don't know if I would enjoy shooting 1000 to 1500 rounds a day.

I shot 4000 shells in 3 full days of hunting. The only reason I didn't shoot 8000 shells is because I didn't want to have to pay for them.

I had a blast it's a long trip but worth it. No doubt he shucks 70% down there it's nothing like Alabama shooting. Yes I've some what lost the lust for shoot doves here more to the reason the last 10 I've been on suck so bad. Yes they are a lot of chip shots and it's easy to kill 3-5 a shot they are grouped so tight. My first am i killed just shy of 500 in about 3-3.5 hrs my best day ( I just looked it up ) 1,486 birds and dad killed 1,319 like said above you don't shoot day light till dark but can. I never got tired of it I bought a limb saver shoulder pad Not a bruise on me . I was timid on shooting wide open was afraid I would shoot up the pre bought shells and have regretted it since inlegt
