Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Conny Persson

My name is Conny Persson. I’m 43 years old and come from Sweden. I will now share my
experience with you about the wing shooting trip of my life and JJ Caceria who made this possible.

For about 4 years ago I finished my career as a professional clay target shooter and could finally
start to save up the money needed to do this trip. Through the years I have heard so many stories
about dove hunting in Argentina. It has been a dream for many years to do this and I believe that
every person who is a true shotgun shooter should make this trip at least one time.

So in June 2010 we started to plan this trip. Early we decided to skip the local agents and contact
the company direct in Argentina. The internet is full with different companies who offer the same
but after a tip from a Swedish man, who was there a few years ago, we finally had a name to look at.

JJ Caceria.  The big question was what time of year we should go but we all agreed in the group that the end of July would suit us best because it’s not so hot there during their winter.  After many emails back and forth we booked plane tickets and hunt in October and just had to wait and wait and wait. I think we all were like kids at Christmas waiting for Santa, ha ha.

It’s a very long flight for us in Sweden to get to Cordoba but we found good flights with Iberia, so our route went: Copenhagen-Madrid-Cordoba. They actually added a technical stop in Rio De Janerio but it was a fast stop and good to stretch the legs for a while.

We were 6 people in the group, 5 hunters and my wife. I think that is a good size of group, guess you can be up to 8 or 9 and still fit all in one van.

I tried to prepare myself as good as possible. Spending hours and hours watching clips from Youtube so I knew what was waiting for us. I got these tips from another hunter who had been there: Take your time when reloading because when you look up there is always a bird in range… He was right.

So finally after a long flight we arrived at Cordoba airport, didn’t know what to expect but the fact that we knew that staff from JJ. Caceria would meet us after customs. Suddenly one guy in the group comes with a man working at the airport and he thought we looked like hunters and he was a friend to the owner of JJ so he helped us with luggage and we just followed him. That is good service.

So finally after customs we could shake hands with the staff who should pick us up. We were met by 3 people: Monica Grasso, the owner’s wife, Ines Losada who works there and Franco Grasso, van driver and son to Jose and Monica.
After 1,5 hours heading east from Cordoba we reached our lodge: La Camilla. The movie on their homepage did not lie, it was a beautiful Estancia. They were all waiting for us and after a quick walk around and dealing out the rooms it was time for lunch. And YES, the big steaks looked just the same as in the pictures we have seen. So at that point I started to realize that everything was going to be as great as we ever could imagine. Other testimonies say that it felt like coming to a place you know and people who are your friends and that’s exactly how we felt from day one.
The rest of the arrival day passed on with some drinks in the garden, (even if it was winter it was 20 degrees).
We checked the guns for the coming hunts and of course more food and some DVD watching from that area. All together it was a perfect first day.

The first morning came and for us we had 5 hours time difference from Sweden so we woke up a little early, but at 5am I thought it was time to go up, (1 hour too early) wakeup should be at 6. Checking all my personal hunting gear, but yes they were all packed in the bag. We met in the dining room for our first breakfast and the feeling that we were close to the first shots were amazing, don’t really have to mention that the breakfast was perfect but ok: Juice, coffee, bread, pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon, yes you had it all.
7am came and it was time to leave the lodge for the shooting fields. I will never forget that feeling, we have waited for sooooo long and now were were only 45minutes drive from our first dove hunt in Cordoba.
We reached the fields and at the first stop Stig and green14 (number on gun) should go out and the next stop was me and green 15, we both choose to use 12 gauge guns.

From that moment on I can only say that the movies on Youtube do not lie. The sky was filled with doves and we are talking plenty, and even more than that. The saying that one million doves pass you per hour is probably correct. Here I think the problem started for those who were not prepared for it.
I just loaded the gun and my bird-boy Pablo said ok start when you are ready and I did.
It took a little while to figure out that the birds actually were smaller than I expected. I thought they were high so I gave them too much lead but when a bird fell down only 20m from me and I thought I took a shot at a passing bird at 35 m I figured it all out. For me I think that was the only thing I had to learn on location, the rest I was prepared for.

There is really not much more to say about the hunting, IT IS PERFECT, from the beginning of the day to the last minute, barbecue lunch in the field with wine, beer and soda. You are being looked after like a king all the time. While you shoot, the bird-boy asks you if you want water or cola or a beer and he fills up with ammo all the time. When one case of ammo is running out he asks if you want more. I don’t think I have ever met people that service minded.

We hunted doves for 2 full days to start with, then we had a relaxing day. That day the owner of JJ, Jose, took us scouting one place we wanted to go to the last day were we should be shooting in the forest, fast birds and from all directions and at the last day we had so much fun there. After the relaxing day we went pigeon hunting and we actually saw snow on the ground, we were west of Cordoba close to the mountains. Then we ended up with one and a half day of more dove hunting.

Now I will take the opportunity to share my ideas to other hunters and you will also be able to see all data, gun, ammo and of course the result.

On JJ.s homepage you see all the necessary shooting stuff to bring, sunglasses are extremely important otherwise you are in trouble. You always have the sun in the eyes, at least on one side.
I think a shooting vest with leather on the shoulder helps the gun to stay put. If you want you just put one of those recoil protections underneath. Even if doves are plenty they are easier to get a good shot at if you wear camo clothing. They are very wobbly in their flight and change direction extremely fast. I found out that they were calmer when they just passed you so that was the easiest shot to do and they always seemed to dive a little bit so I aimed like 15cm underneath on those shots.
It’s hard to say how much lead you need because that depends on angles and gun speed but if you give them what you think is right and nothing happens, try a little less. I know that is the opposite to what I usually say but in my case it worked, but remember: ONLY ON DOVES.

We hunted pigeons one day and the bag limit for those are 200. I shot my 200 in 300 shots. An excellent day over decoys. That day it was only like 5-6 degrees and light rain and still we had a superb day. We used for that 28gr 7,5. I recommend to use 30gr nr5 instead, heard that nr 6 is not available in Argentina.
For the doves we used in cal.20 25gr 7-7.5 and nr 8. In cal.12, 28gr of 7.5 and 8. I believe that nr 8 is best. The dove is so small and the pattern is better with 8.
The first morning I used ½ choke but then I tried ¼ and thought that was better. I reached just as far but had a little bigger pattern on the close ones. Just remember if you choose nr 5 for pigeons you have to use ½ choke.
As I wrote before I rented a 12gauge Beretta 391 Urika2. Many people say the recoil is too much in cal 12. Hmmm, I don’t agree because the weight is more so 25gr shots in cal 20 is the same as 28gr in cal.12. The difference in weight is about 400gr and my arms did not die but I never shot more than 1500 shells in a day. For those who are afraid of headache and shoulder pain I can only speak for myself but that was not a problem. Don’t forget some moisturiser to put on your shoulder and chin, it helps you a lot.
Now to my personal statistics: These are taken from all distances from 13-45m.

Day one.  1525 shots/1092 doves
Day two.  1400 shots/1022 doves
Day four. 300 shots/200 Pigeons
Day five .1500 shots/1074 doves
Day six ½ day. 900 shots/736 doves

For all the shooting days I wrote down in my book after 50 or 100 shells my statistics, not only for that I wanted to see how I was doing during the day but it also gave me a short break every now and then.

I can really recommend this to everyone. For those who want to shoot many thousands of rounds there are the trophies to get. The first at one 1000 doves in a day then there are more trophies for every 500 I believe. Lodge records and of course personal records. Also for those who only shoot maybe 500 shots in a day, it’s up to yourself to do what you feel and like and have the possibility to do.
Just that feeling that the birds never end must be experienced, it’s impossible to explain.

So now I can only say: Stop thinking of going, just do it, it’s worth every penny, Cordoba Argentina is the LAND OF DOVES AND EMPTY SHELLS like my friend said one day.

A huge thank you to JJ.Caceria and all the staff at La Camila lodge. WE WILL BE BACK!

Argentina: A Bird hunter´s paradise
Head south — way south — for the world's best wingshooting

They never stopped coming. In the ear-ly morning sky the birds appeared ¡n droves and despite the gossamer fog, the sky bore the essence of a bluebird day. That remarkable sight vvas my first encounter with one of the fastest flyíng game birds on this planet — the Eared dove of Argentina.
Having been a dedicated wing shoot-er for over four decades, this was to be my long-awaited exposure to what is truly said to be the best and potentially last "big bag" shooting experiencc in the world. T was not disappointed. Despite growing up on the Canadian prairies where I had some of the finest water-fowl and upland bird hunting ¡n North America, stories of remarkable South American hot-barrel hunts kept finding a home in my future plans. Unfortunately over time plans often tend to get pushed about to rneet other pressing goals. That all changed when I discovered a five-day, all-inclusive hunt located within the finest dove hunting área in Argentina that induded 2,000 free shells for a most reasonable price indccd. I could hardly believe the quoted cost but with a bit of research it was all enthusiastically con-firmed as hunters reported shooting over a 1,000 shells a day with birds in numbers the likes of which one could only dream of. Needless to say I soon had a May hunt booked with J.J. Caceria of Córdoba for both dove and pigeon.

Argentine Adventure
Córdoba, which is located in the central región of northern Argentina, is home to an estimated 23 million doves. The Eared doves around Córdoba are not known to migrate and are hunted by pass shooting as these enormous flocks move between roosting woods and the vast cultivated farmlands where they feed. The Eared dove, which is a cióse but smaller relative of the North American Mourning dove, can breed four times a year and because of their sheer numbers and impact on crops, they are not as yet regulated by seasons or bag lirnits. Despite this lack of regulatory protection and the plight of the passenger pigeon in North America, the Eared dove numbers around Córdoba are, as I discovered, more than holding their own. But that was not the only fact about these phe-nomenal birds I was about to uncover during my first day afield.

The sky was still as black as the inside of a cave when we left the confínes of J.J. Caceria's first-rate hunting lodge. After a drive of less than an hour, I was well en-sconced within a field that revealed little of its character in the predawn darkness. However, as the first rays of dawn began to creep over the eastern sky, it readily became apparent that I was set up in an open field 40 yards shy of a tree line that ran for a half-mile in either direction. It directly intersected the anticipated fiight lint.1 IvUvccn an establibhcd dove roosí-ing área and a freshly cut maize field. 1 didn't have to wait long as, despite the fog, doves began to appear out of the in-cipient light as single birds passing high overhead. They resembled small winged rockets that appeared to have been launched from somewhere in the darkness. To say that they made for a chal-lenging target would be an understate-rnent indeed. They not only appeared to be smaller than I expectcd but about twice as fast and high as I had expected. Thankfully for this trip Beretta had been kind enough to provide one of their Xtrema 2 shotguns with its recoil-reducing Kick Off system. It fit me like a glove, so I was more that grateful when I was able to pick off at least a few of these early morning flyers. Unfortunately, as the sun gathered strength and the fog began to dissipate, the birds seemed to not only elévate their flight line but began a flight pattern the likes of which I have only rarely encountered. It became

Hello JJ, My family and I are finally back in California and I wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful time we had. Not only was the dove hunting fantastic and by far, the best bird hunting I have ever done in my life (and I have done a bit…), but my family thoroughly enjoyed their stay as well, even without hunting. Your attentive staff (and children…) took such good care of our kids that my wife really got to relax and rest the whole time. Your estancia had everything we could need and the food was great and overly plentiful. We look forward to seeing you again soon and since Andrea (my wife) is from Cordoba, you will certainly be a part of every trip to Argentina in our future.

Thanks again, Ronald Conte December 26th 2010

Both myself and my son killed over a 1000 doves one day. My son had never shot doves before this trip, so to say the dove hunting was fantastic would be an understatement. I think the best part of the trip was being invited to celebrate New Year's Eve with Jose and his entire family that came to the camp for their family dinner and celebration. We were treated just like family and had a great time. The entire staff at the camp was great. The food was delicious and I can't say enough about how friendly everyone was. I only planned on making one trip to Argentina to try out the dove hunting but, there is no doubt that we will back again. I have already passed out the information you had sent me about the trip to two other people here in Arkansas that were considering the trip. I believe that one of my friends was giving your information to a gentleman in Northeast Oklahoma. I gave them your contact information. I would appreciate you passing along my comments and thanks to Jose and his family and staff. Most importantly, I look forward to contacting you in the future to book our return trip.

Best Regards, Mike Traw

Hi JJ

Just a few words to say "Many thanks" to you and your team for making our visit to La Camila and the dove hunting fields so enjoyable. Everyone worked hard to make our dove hunting trip to Cordoba a memorable one and the doves cooperated by flying high and fast. Even the fog in the mornings did not interfere with our sporting enjoyment – it just gave us a less strenuous experience so that we had enough energy to meet the doves in the sunny afternoons.

The changes in staff were a little surprising as we had come to expect to see all the usual faces. However, those in new positions proved every bit as capable as the predecessors. Carina's move to the kitchen was interesting and she is certainly making a noble effort to accommodate the tricky variety of requirements of the foreign visitors, especially from UK!

We especially appreciated the shells with No. 5 shot for the high birds and the different hitting power from the No. 7 shot was noticeable on the more difficult targets.

I hope we can make it to another dove hunting trip to Argentina next year.

With best regards to everyone,
Michael Fox ,

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Blake Willis.

I have hunted with Jose Luis and JJ Caceria twice over the past two years. The dove hunting in Argentina is tremendous and bird action is nonstop. The short drive to the field in the morning is always exciting and the turn by the chocolate factory get's the excitement flowing in preparation for the morning hunt. Following the morning comes the best part of the day. A traditional Argentine BBQ where the chef continues to pile fresh beef, pork, chicken, and sausage onto your plate as soon as it comes off the fire. The ensuing nap is much needed!, My friends and I have made our trip to JJ an every other year event and this year we are doing the duck/dove hunting combo, but the reason for continuing to hunt with JJ is the hospitality and family atmosphere. You truly are welcomed into their family and you will be ready to come back as soon as you leave.

Hello JJ, I want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful dove hunting experience that we enjoyed this week at your facility. It could not have been any better. The dove shooting was better than anyone can believe, with plenty of doves killed. Your staff provided us with any needs that we requested. Everyone was great. I look forward to maybe returning again in the future. Again, thanks for a wonderful trip.

Great hospitality, accommodations, and food. Could not be better!! Argentina dove Hunting, nothing like it. If you want to learn how to shoot, or teach your son or daughter, this place is for you.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Hugh Walker. USA.

Thank you for your Email and a very good new year to you too.

I would just like to say what a fantastic dove hunting experience I have had with JJ Caceria in Cordoba, Argentina.
I have had the most spectacular high dove shooting, with great hospitality and very good organization. Most importantly I was made to feel most welcome. I would highly recommend JJ Caceria to anyone looking for an excellent dove hunting trip in Argentina.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Joe Sagster. USA.

My experience is that this is the Holy Grail of dove hunting as it was absolutely brilliant.
The whole package was faultless and hassle free. The planning, co-ordination and organisation of the trip by JJ Caceria was first class as every fine detail of the trip was taken care of in a professional manner. This enabled me and our team to totally relax and enjoy what we came to do – "SHOOT DOVES".

This whole experience is too good for words and it can only be fully appreciated by trying it out for yourself.
Pack you bags and have fun – Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Jay Clemmer. USA.

Almost daily I find myself trying to describe to someone my visit with your company, but mere words cannot describe what I experienced. Everyone made me feel at home. It was the best dove hunting trip I ever took, I ate the best food I ever had, and I enjoyed the fellowship of nicest people in the world. Thank you so much.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Steve Segret. USA.

What a great dove hunting trip! The doves never quit flying and the hospitality and the food were superb. I have heard many stories about dove hunting in Argentina but words don't adequately describe it; you really have to experience it for yourself. You and your staff were the ultimate hosts. It was truly a trip of a life time. I plan on returning to hunt with you in the near future.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Jeffery D. Price,Texas.USA.

Trip of a life time! Growing up in Texas I thought I had seen Dove hunting at its best. I quickly learned Argentina Dove Hunting is the BEST in the world. JJCaceria provided one of the greatest experiences of my hunting career. The lodge and sleeping accommodations were first class and the food was 5 stars. The best part of the dove hunting trip was the people, everyone at JJCaceria makes you feel like part of the family. Great dove hunting, great food and great people!

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Wynn Jones, Port St. Lucie, FL. USA.

The greatest testament we can give to Jose Luis, Roberto, Marcel and the JJ Caceria family is our annual pilgrimage to Argentina and JJ Caceria to hunt doves. The lodging is comfortable, the food is great, the staff is terrific, and the fellowship in the evenings back at the estancia enjoyable. We are now planning our Argentina dove hunting third trip with JJ Caceria. Our first dove hunting trip in Argentina was marvelous; our second dove hunting trip was marvelous, and we know our third dove hunting trip will be marvelous. My son starts planning the return trip on the flight back to the states. That to me says it all. We enjoy JJ Caceria and recommend it highly.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Colin Mann. USA.

Just a short note to say a big thank you for what can only be described as a "hunting trip of a lifetime!" Four of us came to your lodge in April for 4 days dove hunting every one of us was so impressed that the only topic of conversation on the way back to England was when we would return next year. The lodge accommodation, food and drink were out of this world and this coupled with great, friendly staff made our stay a memorable one indeed.
I have no hesitation in recommending your dove Hunting holiday in Argentina to anyone, in fact there is a long list here to return next year, and the dove hunting video had a great impact on people!!!
Once again very big thanks and look forward to seeing you and the rest of your staff again soon.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Gilbert Johnston. USA.

Words cannot describe the great time we had hunting with you guys. I have almost worn out my dove hunting video showing it to my hunting buddies back in Texas. I love to see the envy in their eyes. The staff was wonderful and Juan Carlos was the best hunting assistant I could have imagined. The twelve dove limit we have here will be anti-climatic after Argentina dove hunting. I will definitely be planning another Argentina dove hunting trip in the future.
Thanks to all of you and your fine staff.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Dick Shepherd. Denton, Texas.

This is Dick Shepherd, and I will tell you I had a wonderful time, the hosts were well prepared and most helpful, the food and accommodations outstanding and the dove hunting unbelievable. We will definitely be back.
Thanks to all!

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Jim Painter. Azle, Texas USA .

We had a wonderful Argentina dove hunting time with JJ Caceria in July 2008. The four of us did a combination Duck, Perdiz, Pigeon and dove hunt that required much logistic coordination. JJ did an outstanding job of paying attention to detail and provided us with an outstanding hunting experience. The doves were plentiful and the three lodges were superb. The food was top quality, only surpassed by the exceptional service and surroundings. These hunts were non stop action. I would recommend JJ and his team for your dove hunting needs in Argentina. I will be using him for all my future dove hunts in Argentina

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Gaylen Miller. USA.

Dear JJ, Thank you for an extra-ordinary week of dove hunting! The doves were more numerous than I ever imagined. The pigeon hunt was a very unique experience. Your accommodations, staff, mode of travel, food/drinks receive a 5-star rating. I am looking forward to a return trip. Many thanks again.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies

I have had the pleasure of hunting doves in Argentina with Jose Louis Grasso during several visits to Córdoba. We have hunted doves, ducks, and perdiz together. I can say with authority that he delivers on his promise to show you a good time and put you in the birds. The dove hunting has been unbelievable, and I look forward to visiting Argentina again soon. If you are looking for high dove shooting volume and quality food and accommodations, JJ Caceria is for you.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Per Juhlin. Malmö

By a testimony I presume you mean a few lines about dove hunting with you? I sure will!!

We were 4 guys from southern Sweden, passionate dove hunters and not totally lost behind a shotgun, who all had heard about the unbelievable dove hunting in Argentina and also the possibility to become a member of the 1000 Dove Club. With very high expectations we arrived to a tremendously nice "hacienda" La Camila, in the evening, were very well taken care of, installed in beautiful rooms, met a couple of Americans who go there regularly every year, who told us about the fantastic dove hunting that we still not quite couldn't believe. We rented good quality guns (Beretta or eq.) and next morning we left for the first outing. This was beyond whatever I've ever imagined and I'm pretty spoiled with bird hunting. We were put behind small screens in the middle of a field, with a bird boy to count the hits and a case with 500 shells but with half a mile to the closest tree – could here ever come a dove? I looked up in the sky and for as far as I could see there were doves coming. 15 min later I had shot my first 10 doves in a row. When we took a break 3 hours later to go and have lunch, I think the 4 of us had shot around 2 000 doves together – totally unbelievable – it was the ultimate bird hunting! A four of us managed to reach that magic number that first day – 1 000 birds shot in one day – with good help from JJ's staff, placing us in the right field, in the right spot at the right time! We all had a great time, laughing at each other both missing easy kills and picking down high flying birds. We all had a hit rate around 70-73 % at all the outings. Coming back? – for sure!

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Adrian Fauvie

I would like to take a moment and convey to you, what a wonderful dove hunt and experience we had in Argentina. Your staff was superb, meeting and exceeding all of our expectations. The cuisine was excellent and the red wine was some of the best I have ever tasted. The accommodations and hospitality offered to us was some of the best I have ever received any where in the world. I look forward to a future dove hunt in Argentina with you again.

 

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Mark Blankenship. Anderson

I have had the great fortune of hunting with JJ Caceria on two different occasions. The birds were so abundant that following and picking a specific bird became confusing to say the least. During my first trip I was fortunate enough to take 1000 birds two days in a row. Taking 1000 birds on any day would have been possible giving that I had set that as a
goal. On one specific day; a buddy and I picked shots all morning that would drop a bird at other person feet. Point is, the substantial abundance of birds, to be able to pick specific shots and still tally up 4
or 5 hundred birds in a single morning.

The guys in the field with each hunter, (bird boys) actually men, made everything easy. We always arrived to the multiple fields to find our blind, shooting area, equipment and beverages all in place. I believe the
guys would have carried us on their back to our stands. They were very attentive to our needs, humorous and very courteous. On occasion I would get so tired of shooting that I would let Robert (bird boy) shoot several
birds while I rested.

There are only a few words to describe the accommodations and food. They both exceeded our every expectation in regards to quality, cleanliness and taste. We did not want for anything on both trips.

One piece of advise....... Lifting a 7 1/2 lbs shot gun doesn't sound like much? Multiple it by 1500 times and you'll wear your arms out. Most people think the recoil gets you first, that was not our experience. Spend
the month before working with some weights and strength your arms. This made my second trip much less fatiguing..

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Jon Roberts. Texas

TIf you want a good hunting trip, you won't have to worry about anything if you book with JJ! We had such a great time, and the quality of the hunt along with the accommodations, food, and hospitality were so good that we are returning just one year later! If you want a successful hunt and you want to enjoy yourself, JJ will provide it! You will not be disappointed.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Mark Wade. Western Region

This was a trip of a lifetime for my Dad and me. First of all, the number of doves and quality of the wing shooting was absolutely incredible. It has to be experienced to really appreciate. Second only to the doves, was the JJ Caceria staff and facilities. Your staff was welcoming, kind, courteous, professional and dedicated to making our stay memorable. I can't find one aspect of our trip to Argentina and service from JJ Caceria that we would have changed. Working with you to set up the trip, your flexibility with our schedule changes, helping us with our in country transportation, great food and drink, spotless clean rooms, flawless Urika 2's, hard working bird boys (say hi to Carlos and Patos for us) made this trip PERFECT!

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... California, Hofman Michael

Even when I has just return to Argentina, I miss the early morning runs to the field, the clouds of doves coming at us, seeing the ducks coming by the thousands. Seeing the dogs work the partridges and the friendship we made with the people of Argentina. I will be back to enjoy the hospitality, food and great dove hunting service JJ offers in Argentina.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Lamarie M. Kent M.D., California USA

It was in 2003 that I made two trips to Argentina to hunt with J.J. Caceria.
The hospitality was warm and genuine, the staff was friendly and considerate, the organization was professional and punctual, the accommodations were excellent, the food was delicious and the service was superb. Most of all, the shooting was terrific! So, I am planning to come back to Argentina and have a similar dove hunting experience whenever I can.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Walace, Gregory Atlanta, Georgia. USA

I would like to thank you guy's for a wonderful dove hunting trip - you had million of doves flying - and the hospitality was excellent, not to mention the food, and the hunting service - you guy's take pride in your work and taking care of clients. I couldn't have asked for more - we are working on dates to come back to Argentina this year - i told my 13 yr old son he could come this year for a new dove hunting trip if he could save up shell money - thanks for great time.
Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Desechad, Ed,- USA

What I can say is that the best thing about J.J.Caceria is not only that everything that they advertise is accurate, but that Jose Luis and his staff go out of their way to make sure that you are treated as their guest and any accommodation you request is granted with a smile. I am planning to come back to Argentina, rest assure that if you are planning to come to hunt with them, you will have an incredible experience!
Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Stutz, Michael- Washington, USA

Let's start by saying I'll be happy to write a glowing review, however Andrew is probably the best, as that was the dove hunting trip of his life. I think he was looking to book with you, but apparently hasn't had any success in working a deal with you yet. In exchange for my review, could you please work him a good deal? You can look for my review in about a week. If you don't get it, please remind me . . . because you did provide excellent service, and should indeed have some glowing reviews on your website. I want my friend to enjoy a great dove hunting experience in Argentina, and take as many pictures as he can so he can show off back home.
Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Crocket Howard, Jonathan and Justin, TEXAS- USA

In 2004, my two sons and I went on a combo puma and dove hunt with Jose the first week in Jan. It was truly a hunting trip of a lifetime for us and memories of a great time. We all got pumas and 3 days of tremendous dove hunting. Jose runs a first class hunt with good accommodations, food, translators, hunting areas and guides. The quality he offers is excellent, and I could not have asked for anything more. I have hunted doves in several countries, including Argentina, and this is where I will return..... May God
bless you and your family.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Floyd, Bert Florida -USA

Hello, my name is Bert Floyd. My friends and I traveled to hunt in Argentina last October, 2003. I am 40 years old and have spent most of my life hunting, both wing shooting and big game hunting. Our dove hunting with J.J. Caceria was by far the best shoot I have ever been on. Everything he advertises is given to you. He makes sure you are treated.

I shot 210 boxes of 12 gage shells in 3 dove hunting days. You can shoot as much as your shoulder can stand. Our accommodations were fantastic. The food was terrific; the only problem was that there is so much good food that you might over indulge. I know I did. Jose his brother Roberto and staff are friendly and very efficient at taking care of all your needs.

All 3 of my companions had been to Argentina dove hunting before and all agreed that that this was the best dove hunt that they had ever been on. We will all be back again this coming fall. I am also going to hunt Red Stag, Puma, and Black Buck in March. I can't wait! If you want a great hunt with great people you can't beat Argentina with J.J. Caceria.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Davis, Ron, Texas- USA

"It was a lifetime hunting trip! All the staff at J.J. Caceria has been great they treated us as friends. They spoiled us to the maximum and we sincerely enjoyed it. Hope to make many more trips and contemplate again the amazing amount of doves that fly over your head. Not to mention the great food! All effort was made to make us feel comfortable"

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Thomas, Allen-Dublin, Georgia- USA

It has been a long romance; this is the third trip with J.J. Caceria in the past year. The dove hunting in Argentina is the best I have experienced in my life. Good shooting- I have never seen so many birds together-, good food –my compliments to the chef-, good accommodations-very comfortable beds, and the right temperature-, a sincere desire to please- I was spoiled- and a beautiful country, make this as an A+ trip"

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Haskin, Erik- Dublin, Georgia- USA

More than I expected! This is my first trip, but most definitely not the last. The amount of birds is incredible; you can not stop thinking all doves in Argentina come here. One Word to sum up my time at J.J. Caceria: Unbelievable!
Thanks for the kindness- JJ´s staff are very nice, they make you feel at home-, and service is everything they promise in the web page and more. "

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Shearer, Travis- Texas- USA

Unbelievable experience! Argentina, one of the last untamed lands in the worlds, is a country which naturally calls for those outdoorsmen who desire more than just a regular hunt. Unfortunately, many of us do not know this place well enough to hunt it effectively. Enter JJ Caceria, an outfitter and guide company with an extensive knowledge of Argentina, its animals and its birds, its people and its history. I hunted with JJ Caceria in November of 2003, during the off season, and still managed to hunt over 700 birds in just four hunting days. My experience with them was laudable, and the memory will live with me forever.

If you're going to spend the time, money and effort to go to Argentina, don't make the mistake of using a lackluster outfitter. There is only one name that you need to know, JJ Caceria. The professional nature in which they operate will impress the most ardent of hunters and the quarry you seek will be found. When I return to this beloved land, there is only one company I will need … JJ Caceria. So take your time to think about this and make the right decision.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Graul, M. Texas, USA

I could not wait to visit Argentina as I have often heard of the amazing volume of dove here. None of the
stories I heard could even come close to doing justice what my friend and I experienced! J.J. Caceria set us up with a wonderful three dove hunting days in Argentina and exceeded all of our expectations. I look forward to using them again
for my next South American adventure! Unfortunately not many of my friends knew about this place, but I am making sure they know all about it.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Wynja, D. H. Longmont, CO, USA

As I have expected, the whole adventure was first class. The staff was very accommodating and delivered on a great dove hunt.
The number of doves was beyond my expectations and my 28 gauge was a great choice. I'll be back for more, this time I will bring more friends so they can experience the most amazing dove shooting they can imaging.

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... FUTCH, Lee, LO- USA

It always turns up the same; hunting with JJ Caceria has been the highlight of my year. I go to Argentina strictly for the shooting, and Jose' Louis Grasso provides all of the action I can handle. Last year I shot 1250 shells (and I could have shot more) on my first day of dove hunting and I did it with over/under shotguns. Try to do that in Mexico!! If you want an affordable hunt with good accommodations and unequalled shooting, JJ Caceria is for you. His team is first rate, and they aim to make the client a repeat customer. I know because I'm one of them. I would like all my friends to know about my dove hunting experience in Argentina so they can come and judge for themselves

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Spolar Dick and Carter – California- USA

It is hard to put in words my feelings, but let me try this way: We have both been hunting since we were six or seven years old and hunting all types of game together for more years than we want to document. Our memories are filled with wonderful hunts, snapshots of great shots, never to be forgotten moments, and warm feelings for many, many of the people we have shared these experiences with along the way and over the years. Outstanding among our memories is our dove hunt with you. We had hunted dove in Argentina before and thought that we had had outstanding AAA hunts, but the shooting you provided us was far superior in both the quantity of birds and the quality of the shooting than anything we had experienced before.

It was obvious from the time we first contacted you about the hunt by e-mail; and when you picked us up at the Cordoba Airport and up until you returned us to the airport, that your one and only goal was to provide us with the best you had. The food and accommodations were better than we had any right to expect. The barbeque lunches in the field were experiences and taste we will never forget. The interpreters you provided us spoke better English then we do; the shopping trip you took us on before returning us to the airport was another extra above and beyond anything we had a right to expect; we appreciated it and will never forget it.

You and every one of your staff made us feel at home and appreciated every minute we were there. You not only made us feel at home, you made us feel comfortable in a foreign country.
Thank you so much for everything. We are looking forward to coming back again.
Hope you and your family are doing alright JJ !

Argentina dove hunting testimonies from... Mark Hoffman – Canada

This was a wing shooting hunt of a life time. The care a preparation of the staff was excellent. Everything they did was for us to have an enjoyable experience. Customs clearance was the easiest I have ever had gone through. The guides were very easy going. The food was very well prepared and plentiful. The accommodations were first class and very comfortable. If you like to shoot this is a hunting experience for you...
