Dear friends, here we are again with the latest hunting and fishing news from Argentina. Truly, last four month was probably one of the best seasons in the last 5 years. Dorado fishing was amazing in all the fishing areas the challenging freshwater Dorado leave. Wing shooting, as good as ever: lot of doves and plenty of ducks. Trout fishing and sea trout at Rio Grande, with excellent results. And, big game: the star… the size and quality of the hunted trophies were the best! The following are some testimonials and experiences.

During March and April lot of friends take part of the hunt during the red stag rut. They not only hunt a lot of red stags, also water buffalo, axis deer, fallow deer, blackbuck antelope, four horned ram, and wild boar. La Pampa is still one of the best destinations all over the world for this type of hunt. No matter if its on the riffle, bow or crossbow. Results are always very good. We would like to thank Dave, Tony, Matt, Santiago, Greg, Rick, Arni, Todd, Eliseu, Skidmore family and many other good hunters and friends that trust in our company again. And special thanks to Nico Catena, his father and all the lodge staff because of the professional work and because they make us fill at home.

What can I say... is the 4th year that Santiago repeat his visit to Mapu Lodge. This year he shoot 2 beautiful stags. A 12 and a 14 pointer!!! "Well done Santiago!!!" After the hunt we enjoy a great time together with Cesar Catena (Nico´s dad).

Regarding to Dave Courtney, an excellent bow hunter, was his first visit and look what a Buffalo!!! Amazing. Thanks to you and Tony Ruggeri from Trophy Seekers whom arrange all the details with us for you to have a memorable hunting trip to Argentina.

As I've mentioned, the wing shooting during January and February was really good. Every hunter that shoot for ducks reach the bag limit every day and when they go out for doves, a blast! Thousands of doves everywhere. No limit. Every year in Argentina more an more fields are been harvest providing birds lot of food: Soybean, Sorghum, Sun flower and whit. Birds paradise!!! and bird hunters too...

"Hi Pablo, Attached are a few photos from our Argentina adventure. It was an outstanding experience and we own thanks to you for all the coordination and help you provided. The duck/dove hunting was great...all the shooting we could want. We definitely like the variety of duck hunting, dove hunting and Dorado fishing. The guides, lodging, food and wine exceeded our expectations. The small boutique hotels you lined up and the private guided tour of Buenos Aires definitely added to the positive experience. The weekend excursion you arranged to the Brazil/Argentine border to see Iguazu Falls was great. Pablo thank you for helping make our first trip to Argentina such a positive, memorable occasion. Best regards and feel free to use me as a reference, Louie."

What we can say about Rio Grande that has not been said. Is still the #1 sea trout fishing river on the world. No matter if you are staying in Kau Tapen, Villa Maria or ToonKen lodge. Fly fishing is very good everywhere. If you are planning a fishing trip for 2011, contact us and we will send you our hosted trip dates.

Thanks very much for a good trip to Rio Grande. We have a great time ! The mixed program with Villa Maria and Kau Tapen was good to experience! The biggest trout 28 Pound was caught by Hakan but Jorgen and Robert catch several over 20 pound. My biggest was about 16 pound. It was a tough fishing with cold water, sinking line and big heavy flies. But this kind of fishing works very good for the Scandinavian people. It was two very slow fishing days on Kau Tapen depending of weather. We like special Villa Maria lodge. We try Menendes river and like that very much. Thanks again for a good organization!

Hi Pablo, the flight home was good. We have 20cm of snow, so I am looking forward to get some wild boars on next weekend. The Trip to Argentina was again a highlight and I will come back soon. I send you 3 pictures with beautiful fish. Best regards,

This new big game hunt destination in Argentina exceeded all our expectations. Even it was the first hunting season since the lodge open it doors last October to receive hunters, hunting results were superb: giant water buffalo and premium red stag trophies. Arni -owner of Lax-a club from Island- and Rafael y Victor from Spain made an excellent hunt during the last week of March.

During April, Wirth family make a lifetime trip, and Rick KK owner of Global Sporting Safaris and Todd Cast owner of TNT Outdoors Network hunt together lot of good trophies. The filmed to make this year a TV show. Hope we look great on the screen... I would also like to thank Jason, the great man behind the camera. And of course Federico Clausen manager that made an excellent work together with his guides and lodge staff. All of hunters promise to return.

Pablo, I just wanted you to know we are back in the states safely but I am already wishing I was back on the river with you and Ruli, fishing for more big Dorado. I am attaching a few of the better pictures. Anytime you are in the states and would like to stop by for a visit just let me know... also if there is anything you think I can help you with let me know. Need advise on good baits I think will catch big Dorado ??? let me know and I can probably help by pointing you to the best ones we use for Bass Fishing... such as spinner baits. Take care my friend and God Bless

Well Pablo, all I can say is "WOW"!! That was truly an amazing fishing experience. You and Ruly really put us on the fish and the rest seemed easy...especially for Mark! I want to say thanks again for all the great memories you gave us. San Pedro is certainly a place we'll always remember. Attached are a few pictures that I thought you might enjoy. I'd love to see a few of yours, when you get a chance. Enjoy your trip to Reno. Best regards,

This year we decided to take part f the Reno SCI show together with Mapu & Andelen Hunting Lodges. Nico Catena, his owner, and us were visit at the booth by a lot of friends and interested hunters that are planning to come to hunt with us next season. Sure, we will be there next January, to spend a great time as we did this year.
See you folks!
