Pigeon

Hunting for Pigeons

There are 2 main types of pigeons that are shot in Argentina. The Picazuro Pigeon (grand pigeon), and the Spotted Wing (Rock Pigeon) and they appear in varying numbers in different areas. They can be excellent sport and decoy, very well being grain and leaf feeders like their European cousins. They are more concentrated in Argentina and can therefore be shot more predictably at certain times of year.

Where can you hunt for Pigeons?

What guns for a pigeon hunt?

Two 12, 20 or 28 gauge shotguns are best for pigeon shooting – one to shoot and one as a spare.

Cartridges should be 28 or 30 g 6 or 7 shot. Dark clothing and a hat are important because pigeons are very wary.
