Argentina Hunting

1. Why Visit and Hunt Argentina

Argentina is the 8th largest country in the world and covers over 1 million square miles. Despite its size, Argentina is only inhabited by 40 million people.  Half of the population lives within ten of the largest metropolitan areas.  The other half of the population is spread throughout rural areas and in some parts of the country, population density is among the lowest in the world.  This affords visitors the opportunity to entertain in modern cities' such as Buenos Aires, yet escape to...

  • Oceans of open land; equivalent to the America West +100 years ago
  • Explore the longest mountain range in the world,  the Andes at 4,400 miles.
  • Visit the highest mountain in the western hemisphere, Aconcagua 22,841ft
  • Stand on windswept beaches and view Sea Lions, Penguins and Orcas.
  • Drive to the end of the earth and visit the land of fire, Tierra del Fuego.
  • Tour Antarctica, it's only +/- 400 nautical miles from Tierra del Fuego.
  • Feel the power and the spray of the longest waterfall in the word, Iguazu Falls.
  • Witness one of the few advancing glaciers in the world, Peritio Moreno. 
  • Savor Argentinas famous cuisine (beef) and Malbec wines.
  • And of course, hunt and fish Argentina's world famous wetlands, pampas and mountains. 

2. Your Argentina Team

There are hundred of organizations selling trips to Argentina.  In our opinion they are all the same -- the vast majority of them are booking agents, filling lodges for a high commission. We think we are different and we believe it is important for you to know who you are working with.  By working with FCFF:



- You work directly with the owner and managing partners.
- All of our trips are hosted by an owner or managing partner.
- Your wing shooting program is held at our head guide's ranch (see below for more detailed information).

Head Hunting -- Assistant Fishing Guide:  Generations ago, the O'Farrell clan immigrated to Argentina from Ireland. Lucas was born in Buenos Aires.  He was raised on his family's estancias, just outside of Buenos Aires and in the mountains of Patagonia.  He learned how to fly fish on the rio Quillen, one of Argentina's best dry-fly rivers. His hunting career began on his family's ranch, targeting small game and birds. Today, he continues to hunt birds, but he has developed into one of the best big game guides. His father is a surgeon, and as a result of his hard work, he has created a good life for his family.  As such, Lucas and his siblings have been given the opportunity to attend the best schools.  Lucas graduated from the best university in Argentina.  His love of the outdoors led him to managing his family's ranches, and professional guiding. Lucas is an expert trout and sea run trout guide; and he's not too bad on the oars.  Whether it is hunting or fishing, he and Gus are the very best. We are very fortunate to have Lucas on our team. You are in very good hands!

Assistant Hunting -- Head Fishing Guide:  Gustavo was born and raised in Argentina. He grew up on the Delta de Parana, which is part of the enormous Parana river system.  In the delta, which is a massive eco-system in itself, Gus and his father hunted for small game and fished for species such as Dorado, Surubi, Pacu, and Pirapita.  At age seventeen, Gus learned how to fly fish on a Patagonia river called Pichi Leufu; a small freestone tributary to the Limay river system. Growing up nearby water, Gus not only fished, but he began rowing.  He eventually became an Argentine single skull champion.  He held this distinction while attending the University of Buenos Aires.  After college, rowing in the Olympics was an option, but he married, started a family, and spent fifteen years as a banking system analyst.  Gus left the banking world, and like Lucas, followed his heart.  Gus is an expert walk-wade and floating guide.  When the Patagonia fishing season is closed, he works with our Golden Dorado clients, and assists Lucas with our hunting programs. We are extremely fortunate to have Gus on our team.

3. Hunting Programs

Wing Shooting: Duck, Dove, Perdiz, Pigeon

If you have done your research, you know that Argentina is one of the worlds greatest destinations for wing shooting.  You may also know that there are hundreds of booking agents selling wing shooting trips.  My point?  What could I possibly say that has not been said already. Rather than waste your time and insult your intelligence, please allow me to keep it short and simple.  With our wing shooting program: 
  1. You hunt, eat, and sleep at a family style private ranch.  The ranch is owned by our head hunting guide.  No other groups will be hunting the land and water, or sharing your lodge!
  2. You hunt Ducks in the morning, Perdiz in the afternoon, and Dove-Pigeon in the evening.
  3. Repeat #1 and #2, add in an open bar, a few friends, and have a great time.
