Partridge Hunting in Argentina
Partridge Hunting
Argentina, internationally recognized as one of the premier destinations for partridge hunting with dogs, is the place where Rancho Salvaje Safari takes pride in offering a unique and exclusive experience in this thrilling sport.
Our lodge stands out as one of the few hunting locations that provides the opportunity to hunt two species of partridges found only in central Argentina, giving you an exceptional chance to enjoy a complete and diverse hunting experience.
Both species are hunted with our trained dogs that will guide and wait at each point until you approach them closely and take the shot.
With expert guides and trained dogs, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy a dynamic and exciting hunt, pursuing partridges in the vast open fields of Argentina. The combination of hunting techniques, working together with the dog, and camaraderie among hunters makes 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 our game, we strive to ensure that every detail is taken care of.
Discover the magic of partridge hunting with dogs in Argentina and experience moments full of excitement and satisfaction with Rancho Salvaje Safari.
Guide and Hunting Area
Our expert hunting guides and trained dogs will accompany you specifically for this activity. Together, they will take you on an unforgettable hunt, making the most of every moment in search of the prized partridges.
The experienced guide will provide explanations and advice on the most appropriate way to hunt with dogs to ensure an accurate shot at the partridge. This thrilling hunt can be enjoyed in pairs of hunters, accompanied by a single dog, making it an even more entertaining experience with greater chances of success in each kill.
Hunting in pairs with a single dog adds an additional element of camaraderie and friendly competition among hunters, as experiences are shared and mutual encouragement is given
throughout the day. Moreover, having a trained dog for searching and tracking partridges significantly increases the chances of success in each encounter.
The hunting areas are flat and extensive, ranging from fields with natural grasses to fields sown with alfalfa. The grasses average a height of about 20 to 30 cm, where the partridge hides.
