http://www.patagoniaponcho.com/This is a link to a guiding service that a friend of mine used and highly recommended it to me…….thought I’d pass it on if anyone was interested? Price is very reasonable and friend said hunt and accommodations were first class! PennDog

Weg site includes everything but cost. I guess if you have to ask, then you can't afford it.

The hunts I believe are in the $4500 range but you should contact to be certain. My friend was very impressed with the scenery, the quality of the hunt and the stags, fishing opportunities and the accommodations/hospitality (especially the food and drink)! I’m planning on going next year or the year after?!

I did a free range stag hunt in Argentina 10 years ago, but it wasn't anything extravagant like this. That country is a socialist nightmare, but the rural areas are really nice and conservative, just like rural people are anywhere else. I had a great time. Getting to the smaller airport in Buenos Aires to fly to get to a commuter airport was kind of a pain just because I know nothing except some swear words in Spanish, but I managed.
I will say that the wimminz in Buenos Aires are drop dead gorgeous, and they're absolutely everywhere. I saw maybe 2-3 fat people at most. It was like a different world.

I hunted red stag and black buck in Argentina in 2019 and have nothing but great things to say about tue experience. Everyone I met, regardless of location was as good as i have ever met. I believe they eat the most red meat per person of any country in the world so the typical meals around there are right down my ally! Prices were very reasonable, about the equivalent of a lower quality guided mule deer hunt in the states.

Thank you, sir, Looking at flights now, (over a year out - part of the fun is in the planning, right??). Probably drive to Miami and get a direct flight, I can't seem to avoid the very long lay overs.

I've hunted down there. I flew out of Sacramento to DFW then we flew to Argentina. It's a long flight. You'll have to deal with customs down there.
Here is a helpful hint: Weight limit on your baggage in a common air fare flight. (is 50 LBS per bag) If you need to fly from Buenos Aires to some other location in the country, the weight limit per bag is different. The max weight you are allowed to carry is 40 LBS. Per bag. They will take your bags for you, no problem; just need to pay an overweight fee. When you are leaving Argentina, to come back to the USA, (When I was there) there were these people there telling us we needed to purchase a $20.00 tax stamp in order to leave the country. I didn't buy it; I got home just fine.
I hope you have lots of fun down there. Remember, you are not in America. Lots of Shady people in Buenos Aires.
Take care.

Would anyone know how "free-ranging" the blackbucks are down there? Like are there fences that impede their movement or are they completely free-range? I've been there, but not hunting. The women are slender because many smoke which impedes their hunger etc.
