Partridge Hunting in Argentina
Forest Partridge Hunting
Argentina, globally recognized as one of the top destinations for forest partridge hunting, is where Rancho Salvaje Safari takes pride in offering a unique and exclusive experience in this thrilling sport.
Our refuge stands out as one of the rare hunting grounds that provides the opportunity to hunt mountain partridge. Hunting mountain partridge has a particularly appealing feature for hunters, as it is the only bird in the United States that is hunted in the forest. Its great flying agility among the trees makes it an extremely challenging species for any hunter.
Due to their considerable size, these partridges often move quickly through the forests, requiring high speed to keep up with the dog that will track the partridge until it takes flight. Mountain partridge is found only in central Argentina. Both mountain partridge and common partridge are birds that are hunted with dogs trained by us, which will guide and wait for you at each point until you get close enough to take the shot.
With expert guides and trained dogs, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy a dynamic and exciting hunt, pursuing partridges in the extensive forests or vast open fields of Argentina. The combination of hunting techniques, working together with the dog, and the camaraderie among hunters make this activity an unforgettable adventure.
At Rancho Salvaje Safari, we are dedicated to providing personalized attention and ensuring that your hunting adventure exceeds all your expectations. From the comfort of our facilities to the quality of each hunt, we strive to ensure that every detail is taken care of.
Discover the magic of forest partridge hunting with dogs in Argentina and live moments full of excitement and satisfaction alongside Wild American Hunters.
