Our research and experience tell us that over 50% of bird hunters are also actively interested in big game hunting, while over 60% are captivated by fishing. If you are a part of that majority and are interested in adding variety to your sporting life, look no further than Red Stag Patagonia and Nervous Waters Fly Fishing. All three brands are proud members of The Kautapen Group – a single team of dedicated professionals focused on maintaining the highest standard of service and elevating your sporting experiences.

Home to hunters who expect perfection.

David Denies Bird Hunting offers a grand variety of wing shooting sports, including four uniquely beautiful lodges near Córdoba, Argentina, the world epicenter of dove shooting, and yet another amazing estate in the dove and pigeon shooting frontier of Santiago del Estero. Three of the Córdoba lodges focus on dove, while the fourth is focused on decoyed pigeons. Our dove lodges are open ten months of the year (January thru October) meaning you can easily combine two or three days of world-class dove shooting while in Argentina or Chile fishing. There are also two classically-styled mixed bag lodges in Uruguay, offering walk up hunting for partridge over pointing dogs, excellent duck hunting, plus pigeons and doves. Three more lodges near Buenos Aires offer more action- Jacana Lodge and Los Picazos lodges hosts duck hunters seeking the best pure duck hunting on the planet, and Los Crestones, located only 2 hours from Buenos Aires airport (EZE), offers ducks over decoys, plus partridge, doves, and big game as well (Black Buck Antelope & Axis Deer).

A higher form of fishing

The Nervous Waters collection of fishing lodges stands alone in the world of sport fishing. Built around the best resource destinations, our lodges offer a level of service on par with the finest boutique hotels of the world, yet each shines with its own personality. The quality of our lodges is only surpassed by the dedication and expertise of our management and guiding teams who have spent decades mastering their craft, and their waters. Constantly on a quest to do even better, there is truly no family of angling destinations that compares!
