Wingshooting questions
Don’t see your answer? Call 763-595-5936.
When is wingshooting season?
Something is open every month. Argentina dove runs year-round, Argentina ducks mid-April to July, and Bolivia doves April to October. Up north, Canadian waterfowl runs September to October (Alberta into November), South Dakota pheasant mid-September to early March, Chesapeake ducks November to late January, and turkeys March to April.
How many birds can I shoot?
It depends on the hunt. Bolivia places no numerical limit on doves. Argentina ducks allow 25 birds in the morning plus 15 to 20 in the afternoon. Texas quail packages include 12 birds per hunter per hunt, and Florida turkey has a 2-bird limit.
Are shells included?
Some packages include them. All-inclusive Argentina dove packages come with 3,000 shells, and Texas quail includes ammunition and gun rental. In Bolivia, shells are extra, and Nicaragua duck hunts have a 4-box shell maximum per hunt.
What’s there for non-hunters?
Plenty. The Bolivia lodge has a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and microbrewery. Jenny Island on the Chesapeake offers crabbing, snakehead fishing and kayaking nearby, and Argentina Cast & Blast adds golden dorado fishing.
How far is Argentina dove hunting from the airport?
Our Entre Ríos resort is about 2.5 hours from Buenos Aires, so your arrival day can be a real half day of hunting.
