What about international travel arrangements?
The port of entry into Argentina is Buenos Aires, so you must ask your travel agent for round trip airfare to Buenos Aires.

What time of the year is the best to hunt?
The best time to hunt red stag is during the rut which begins in early March and goes through mid-April. However post roar the hunting is still excellent and challenging.
What kind of clothes should I bring?
Because of the wide temperature swings we recommend dressing in layers so that you can quickly add or shed layers depending on temperature change. For hunting during the day we recommend wearing comfortable camouflage hunting clothes and good quality waterproof hunting boots since it is common to walk for several hours around the bush. Warm clothing is essential for night hunts as the temperatures can drop significantly after the sun goes down. Gaiters are a must because of the ever present "rosetas" and all the other types of stickers, briars, thorns that seem to be present everywhere in the bush. Although it doesn't rain much, a light set of rain gear is always a good to have along.
What is your booking and cancellation policy?
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the price of your hunting package is required to confirm your hunting reservation with the balance due 60 days prior to your hunt. For cancellations earlier than 60 days prior to your hunt your deposit can be applied to a future hunt of your choosing. Payment of final charges for other costs such as additional big game trophies taken or other costs not included in the booked package will be due and payable at the end of your stay at the ranch. We accept cash, wire transfers and personal or bank checks.
What happens if an animal is shot but cannot be found?
If an animal is wounded, we will do our best to follow it and dispose of it humanely. In the rare and unfortunate event that this is not possible, the trophy fee must still be paid. Evidence of wounding will mean blood or tissue traces found at or near the point of impact.
Expediting of trophies
