A friend shot 3500 his first day. We go on the 8-1 but are planing duck in the morning and dove, pidgen and perdiz in the afternoon. Our 3500 dollar fee includes 5 days of hunting and 2500 shells.Cordoba is to much for an old guy.

Maybe you could shoot an elegant in your pajamas; my aim's too shaky to risk it.

Reminds me when I was in a weapons qualification course to prep for going to the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq. Qualification score consisted of shooting for score in both Glock and M-4 and Remington 870. Multiple dozen's of rounds of each on the Glock and M-4, different distances, different positions. Being a fellow who likes to shoot I was excited. One week later after shooting thousands of rounds to prep for qualification day, I had blisters upon blisters. Some from shooting, most from loading magazines by hand. Shoulder had turned to mush from shooting that little M-4 and from shooting 12 gauge buckshot. Finally emerged fully qualified at the end in everything, but it wasn't easy and it sure wasn't fun. I can't imagine shooting thousands of doves in a day would be fun, but that said, I would probably give it a try if I won the lottery.

Nothing more than a disgraceful waste of Gods creatures.

Sure wouldn't interest me at all, to each his own I guess.

i do hope saint peter takes the form of a dove, if and when this guy and others like him appear at the pearly gates...but, then come to think of it, i hope he does not take the form of a song bird when i show up...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Nothing like an open mind is there? Could it be that in South America they have different issues than we do regarding pest management? I know that my ideas of ethics did not fit in in New Zealand...They have completely different issues to deal with. If you were involved in agriculture there would you want the tens of thousands of Doves eating your profits? That kind of shooting does not interest me, but I am in no position to judge those that do enjoy it.

I wonder what St. Pete would do to the Argentinian farmers who would poison the roosts and kill the doves by the tens of millions if it were not for the hunting/tourist dollars that provide a better option for all.

11,000 birds and 15,000 shots, man that's some shootin'! Some kind of world record, I suppose. I'd probably enjoy a trip to Argentina, just don't think I'd try to beat that record.

I get a terrible headache just by looking at those numbers! JC P.S.: Just to make it clear, South America has several countries with different peoples and issues. Argentina has a serious pest problem with doves; on the other side of the Andes -very high mountains we have over here- there is no such problem and we can only hunt 50 birds per outing. jc
