Dos Plumas Lodge: The dove & pigeon population, by the million in the area around the lodge, turn this into the best spot around the world to hunt both species.

Location

“Dos Plumas” lodge is the place where you can shoot the best area for this two species in the world, hunting doves and pigeons like in no other place!

The lodge is located on a relative new farming area cultivated with more than 200.000 acres under pivot water irrigation system.

As farmers can control the water, they seed every 15 days (sunflower, corn, peanuts, wheat, soybean) therefore they have harvestings every 15 days assuring year round food available for doves and pigeons.

This farming system makes pigeon hunting available from April until the end of November when in other country areas is until September. Doves are present year round without peak season.

The presence of both Doves & Pigeons both by the millions in our area, makes our lodge without exaggeration a unique and privileged place.

Together with a comfortable brand new lodge accommodation very near the best hunting places plus high-standard service, turn our lodge into a hunters’ heaven.

As the Lodge is not far from Mendoza you can combine your hunting trip with fabulous wine tours, fly fishing, golf and other activities on your way back to your country.

Dove & Pigeon Hunt.

The Dove & Pigeon hunting program means you will be on dove hunting spots, on pigeon spots or in spots with a mix of both species, it all depends on the previous scout. Usually time is distributed half and half on each specie during your visit no matter if the birds are mixed or separated.

Pigeon hunting could be passing, over feed lots or when the flying patterns allow to set decoys, you’ll shoot English style pigeon over decoys, an experience a hunter must do at least once in his life! Because of the flying patterns there is more chance to use decoys from May to July, but we use them as much as we can form April to November.

Our Program Dove & Pigeon hunting is really a unique combination of both species. Sometimes doves and pigeons are mixed sometimes separated in different fields.

Species Available

Eared Dove (Zenaida Auriculata) and Spot Winged Pigeon (Columba Maculosa) both by the millions.

Season(s) and Optimum Dates for Specific Species

Doves & Pigeon: April to November.

Along the season there is no specific peak season for pigeon or dove hunting. We split the season with a different pricing only because our clients demand, the volume of birds is practically the same along the season. As we explained, because of the seeding and harvesting system with water pivot irrigation, food is available year round, assuring good hunting at any time, something just a few places can offer.
