The Red Stag is the pride of Argentina big game hunters. A magnificent animal with an impressive rack, the free-range Red Stag is hunted in two locations- the Sierra de la Ventana mountains amidst the beautiful scenery of Buenos Aires province and also in the fertile valleys of the Patagonian Andes, in the southwest of the country. In addition, we hunt for Axis Deer, Fallow Deer, and Black Buck.
For over a century, we have faithfully handed down to each new generation of the family. Today, the lodge is owned by a renowned outfitter and Native Argentinean who oversees impeccable service, first class accommodations, and the highest quality hunts, unmatched in any location in Argentina.
Our leader has been an outfitter planning hunting trips to Argentina for more than 25 years and consistently arranges the best waterfowl hunting trips available at any price. Generally guest hunt duck for the first two full days. On days three and four, they hunt geese in the mornings and perdiz in the afternoons. On day five, guests hunt duck in the morning before transferring to the airport.
The lodge is a beautiful historic mansion and farm, approximately 560 kilometres from Buenos Aires. We have our own “window to the mountains” and the village sits in the pampas of Eastern Argentina. This area is known for having the most fertile soil in the area as well as a climate very conducive to agriculture.
In addition to hunting, the area offers a wide range of activities for non-hunting guests, including fishing, golf, horseback rides, water rafting, and hiking. Estancia El Retiro separates itself from the competition in many ways; the lodge boasts an on-site golf course, swimming pool, and breathtaking views.
Surrounded by breathtaking views of high mountains, lakes, and crystal rivers, this area the perfect habitat for the several species including Wild boar, Indian buffalo, mouflon, wild goat, four horned ram, Texas Dall sheep, collared peccary and puma. Hunting takes place on private property using stands and stalking on foot or horseback. Experience one of the best places in Argentina for RED STAG hunting with our special offers
We offer several travel options to get to the Lodge from Buenos Aires, However, most guests choose a reasonably priced private charter. Accommodations are in comfortable classic estancias and include single or double rooms, private bathrooms, heating, and unforgettable cuisine. After a long day´s hunt, staff are on hand to ensure that guests have everything they need to relax comfortably.
More important to hunters in Argentina are the flocks of birds! We offer the finest duck, goose, and Perdiz (the South American Partridge) available anywhere. The skies above Argentina are teeming with waterfowl, and you will quickly bag your duck hunting season limit. Some hunters then switch to high volume dove and pigeon hunting. Dove and pigeon are hunted in fields close to the lodge, making it easy to fill a couple open hours with the thrill of high volume dove and pigeon shooting.
