A higher form of Wingshooting

David Denies Bird Hunting represents a collection of 13 world-class wingshooting lodges across Argentina and Uruguay, offering some of the finest bird hunting experiences on the planet. From the legendary high-volume dove shooting in the rolling hills of Córdoba, to the rich wetlands of Buenos Aires Province—where marshes and lagoons teem with seemingly endless flights of ducks—to the serene pastures of Uruguay, home to the highest concentration of fast-flying perdiz, each destination is carefully chosen to deliver the ultimate wingshooter’s paradise.

At every lodge, guests are immersed in an experience defined by impeccable style and an unwavering attention to detail. Beautifully appointed accommodations provide a warm and inviting “home away from home,” where comfort and authenticity meet. Each day is complemented by exceptional cuisine, prepared by some of South America’s most talented, internationally trained chefs.

For nearly four decades, this commitment to excellence has established our lodges as the premier destination for discerning bird hunters from around the world.
