grain surround these refuges. In addition, Alex and Zeke plant crops exclusively for doves on their land and use no-till methods which provide consistent and unlimited amounts of food. By practicing these game management techniques, we are the only Outfitter in the area that offers excellent shooting throughout the entire year.

H & H Outfitters, owned and operated by Alex and Zeke Hayes, has spent the last 17 years exceeding their client’s expectations and developing a reputation as one of the finest in the business. Cordoba Province, found in central Argentina, offers the best dove shooting in the world. The mild climate, extensive agriculture, and perfect roosting conditions produce an ever-increasing population of doves. H & H Outfitters, located in northern Cordoba, provides the finest dove shooting in Argentina.

A typical shooting day with H & H Outfitters starts after a sumptuous breakfast, with departure to the fields by 8 AM. The shooting fields at each lodge are carefully rotated and rested to assure maximum bird numbers. The driving distance to the fields ranges between 15 and 50 minutes in our new 15 passenger vans wi th a i r conditioning, refreshments and two-way radios. Each client shoots with their own experienced professional bird boy, who will provide shells, act as a loader, retrieve downed birds and keep cool drinks at the ready. Shooting continues until noon, when the group gathers in a shady grove of trees for a traditional Argentine asado (barbeque) complemented with salads, gourmet desserts and fantastic wines. After lunch and an optional siesta, the shoot continues until approximately 6 PM. Upon returning to the lodge, relax with drinks and hearty hors d’oeuvres while preparing for dinner. Each lodge has professional massage therapists on staff to help you unwind and relax at the end of the day.
