It can be difficult to find a true dove and pigeon combination in Argentina, and many assume that doves and pigeons often overlap in the same habitat, but that isn’t generally true. But luckily you will find both of these hunts at Santiago del Estero where from April through to November you can enjoy wild pigeons in great quantity and couple it with the legendary high volume dove shooting Argentina is known for.
