Argentina: A Hunter’s Dream Destination

Dino Bugni
|  
Species: Red Stag
Location: Argentina

If you love chasing elk during the rut, Argentina offers an unforgettable off-season alternative: hunting trophy red stag during the roar. Beyond stags, the country boasts an abundance of other world-class game (axis deer, Asiatic water buffalo, blackbuck, sheep, etc.), stunning landscapes, and unmatched hospitality. Worldwide Trophy Adventures has partnered with the best outfitters in Argentina to ensure your trip delivers the same adrenaline-pumping excitement as elk hunting, only in a completely different part of the world. From planning the trip to ensuring your trophy gets home, WTA makes this dream adventure seamless, easy and unforgettable.

Travel Made Simple

Getting to Argentina is surprisingly simple. There are direct overnight flights from major U.S. cities like Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami to Buenos Aires. Once you land, WTA’s partner outfitters take care of everything from ground transportation to the nitty gritty of the hunt. Bringing your own rifle? WTA consultants guide you through the paperwork to make it hassle-free. If you prefer traveling light, high-quality camp rifles are readily available and can make the travel experience much easier. Archery gear? No problem. Argentina is archery-friendly and perfect for bowhunters seeking a challenge.

La Pampa: Trophy Red Stag and More

If you’re interested in hunting monster red stag, blackbuck, axis deer, or Asiatic water buffalo, the La Pampa region in Argentina is the place for you. The free-range stags are among the biggest in the world, rivaling those found in New Zealand. If you’re hoping for a gigantic stag (think 450 to 500 inches) the estate hunts are for you.

The hunting in La Pampa is accessible and productive, with experienced guides using spot-and-stalk techniques to get hunters within range of mature animals. The roar is when you’ll want to chase stags. Think the excitement of bugling elk but in a different hemisphere. March is the peak of the roar, and WTA’s consultants often have this area booked solid during the season. This region also offers a variety of exotic sheep species.

Rugged Adventures in Patagonia

Patagonia is the place for hunters seeking a more challenging experience. Its mountainous terrain is reminiscent of the American West. These hunts often involve horseback riding and climbing pine-covered ridges. Patagonia’s stags aren’t as big as La Pampa’s, but the incredible country you’re in and the adventure-style hunt more than make up for it.

WTA works with a world-class outfitter in Patagonia that has exclusive access to a 200,000-acre ranch. Hunters who are up for an adventure-style hunt will find everything they’re looking for. This is a true wilderness hunt.

Add-On Options

One of the best parts about hunting in Argentina combining your hunt with fishing and wingshooting. Patagonia’s fishing is fantastic. Anglers come from all over the world to fish for trout and golden dorado. Argentina is well known for its dove hunts. You’ll have the opportunity to shoot hundreds of birds in a single day. These options may seem overwhelming, but we’ll help you sort it out. Our consultants can help you build an itinerary that combines hunting, fishing and wingshooting in one well-rounded experience, if you prefer a mixed-bag trip.

Comfort and Hospitality

Our vetted outfitters provide hunters with comfortable accommodations, which can be nice after a long day of hunting. Our partner lodges feature private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, inviting common areas, and gourmet food. Each day starts with a hearty breakfast, a break midday for a gourmet lunch, and things wind down with evening cocktails and dinner. You’ll experience delicious Argentine cuisine and local wines.

Hassle-Free Trophy Preparation

Our outfitters manage every detail once your hunt is done to prepare and export your trophy. Skulls are boiled and hides are dried for you. A team of trusted brokers manages the entire process, ensuring your trophy meets all regulations and arrives home in perfect condition, ready for your taxidermist.

The WTA Advantage

Booking an international hunt can feel overwhelming but our team makes it easy. We’ve locked down the top-tier outfitters in the country and have a team of consultants ready to help you plan every detail. We’ll do everything possible to make sure you have a seamless and unforgettable adventure.

Argentina offers a wonderful mix of hunting, fishing, and wingshooting opportunities. It’s a dream hunt for many, and WTA can help you make the dream come true. Contact a WTA consultant today to start planning your adventure.

Kansas – A Whitetail Hunter’s Paradise

Kansas – A Whitetail Hunter’s Paradise

Kansas is at the top of the list for many whitetail enthusiasts. Why? Because big bucks are most often produced in the Midwest, and Kansas has done an excellent job of managing its whitetail herd for decades. However, tag quotas are decreasing slightly and application numbers are continuing to increase, making it more difficult to draw a whitetail tag. Non-residents can no longer apply for a tag in late April and be guaranteed to draw. In fact, with 0 points, first-time applicants can expect drawing odds to be less than 70%. Purchasing a whitetail preference point is now highly recommended.

Deadline to Apply: April 24. Draw Post Date: Mid-May. WTA TAGS Species: Whitetail Deer. Youth: Any age,…
Europe Awaits! Hosted Hunting + A European Vacation

Europe Awaits! Hosted Hunting + A European Vacation

I have been hunting Europe for a little over 10 years now, but there are so many countries and so much game that I feel like it could take another 20 years to see and do everything I want to do. That’s part of what makes Europe so exciting. It truly feels endless. Europe has become incredibly popular for several reasons. First, as an international hunting destination, it is easily accessible, with numerous flights available and no 15-hour, long-haul flights required from the U.S. and North America. Second, the hunts are almost always 100% successful because game management is top-notch and populations are extremely healthy. Third, hunts are relatively short, usually three to five days. Hunts lend themselves perfectly to adding extra vacation time, bringing non-hunters, and enjoying a truly memorable overall trip.

I’ve had the privilege of running WTA-hosted trips designed specifically for couples for the past three years, and we will continue this program well into the future, due to its overwhelming popularity. These trips are structured with a primary hunt alongside a dedicated non-hunter program for observers who prefer not to spend time in the field. Some of these activities have included spa days, shopping excursions, guided sightseeing tours, visits to olive oil operations or wineries, and more. Of course, non-hunters are always welcome to join the hunters in the field if they’d like.

On a personal level, my wife absolutely loves these trips, and I wouldn’t think of traveling to Europe without her. On several occasions when I’ve finished my hunt early, I’ve joined the non-hunters on their excursions and had an absolute blast. We also typically add a couple of days at the beginning of the trip to explore a city or region we haven’t visited before, which helps us adjust to the time change before the hunt begins.

In addition to the hunting, the scenery, the accommodations, and the food are always top-shelf.

After buying Wyoming moose preference points for years, throwing money at a dream that would probably never happen, Jeremy Ivie at WTA gave me advice that changed everything. “If you really want a chance at a Shiras moose, let’s put you in for Idaho.” The second year I applied, I drew the tag. Sometimes the best hunting advice isn’t about what unit to hunt, it’s about where to apply in the first place.

From Argentina to Idaho

My wife and I had just returned from an incredible trip to Argentina with WTA last April, and I wasn’t planning another hunt so soon. But when that Idaho draw result came through, everything changed. Now I’m planning two hunts a year, and my whole outlook has shifted. WTA doesn’t just book hunts; they help you build a hunting life.

October 1 found us in Idaho. The setup was perfect for us: a smaller, family-run operation with two cabins out back, a bathhouse between them, and the whole family was involved in the operation. Mike guided me, his father-in-law took the other hunter, and Mike’s wife and daughter helped run camp. After hunting at a bigger operation in Wyoming where I took a nice mule deer (another great recommendation from Jeremy), this intimate setting felt just right for a moose hunt.

Mountain Moose

Going in, I had no idea we’d be hunting at 5,000 feet above sea level. In my mind, moose meant swamps and willows, not mountain clear-cuts and steep terrain. But that’s where Idaho’s Shiras moose live, and Mike knew exactly how to hunt them.

Day one brought rain, cold, and long hours of glassing. We saw five moose total, including one bull that Mike immediately identified as “maybe a last-day bull, definitely not a first-day bull.” We also spotted a grizzly and some black bears. Idaho’s wild country was showing off! The terrain was brutal but beautiful, though after a full day of hiking those mountains, the word beautiful becomes relative!

Day two, Mike had a specific plan: a four-mile hike to a four-year-old clearcut he’d been watching. The timber gets so thick in Idaho that these clearcuts become magnets for moose. “We’re not going to do as much glassing today,” Mike said. “We’re going to do a lot of calling and listening.”

The Moment

Four miles in, calling and listening the whole way, we finally got an answer. Things happened fast after that. First, a cow appeared, then the bull at 250 yards. On the second morning of the hunt, I had my Idaho Shiras moose down. It was an unforgettable moment.

As most moose hunters will tell you, the real work begins after the moose is down. While we quartered and caped the moose on that steep mountainside, Mike’s wife and father-in-law were gathering horses and mules at the trailhead. The pack-out was something I’d always wanted to experience, and it lived up to all of my expectations. Idaho’s backcountry is stunning in photos, but once you’re off the trail, dealing with deadfall and near-vertical slopes while loading hundreds of pounds of moose meat onto mules, “beautiful” takes on a different meaning. I’m in good shape, and I was completely exhausted. It was fantastic.
