High Score Trophy

Overview

This program unfolds within our exclusive hunting ground in the Province of La Pampa, encompassing 15,000 hectares of century-old scrublands. Here, the Red Stag coexists with Wild Boars, Pumas, and various types of Rams, all roaming freely in their natural habitat. Undoubtedly, this offers one of the most exhilarating hunting experiences in Argentina, often prompting hunters to pursue more than one trophy.

The Red Stag Rutting Season spans from mid-March through mid-April. The stalking and hunting activities start in the early morning, before dawn, strategically positioned to listen to the stags below. As daylight breaks, we approach the animals, evaluating their conditions to determine if they meet the criteria for a worthy trophy.

Around noon, we return to the lodge for a hearty meal and a brief rest, gearing up to repeat the ritual in the afternoon. This cycle provides ample opportunities for an immersive and memorable hunting experience in the heart of La Pampa.

Hunting Area 

The hunting activities take place in the Province of La Pampa, approximately 600 km away from Buenos Aires city. Renowned for being one of the most arid and untamed landscapes in Argentina, this region proves to be the perfect hunting ground for these trophies. The animals established La Pampa as their natural habitat at the inception of the century when the first specimens were introduced. 

Lodge

Our lodge is conveniently situated near the hunting area. The country-style house offers six double rooms, each equipped with private bathrooms. Additionally, it features a spacious dining area and a comfortable lounge room, providing hunters with a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy an after-dinner drink. All services at the lodge are tailored to ensure that hunters can fully capitalize on their hunting experience and enjoy a comfortable stay.
