From the first roar in La Pampa’s caldén forest to the mountain giants of the Andes, discover the most compelling red stag hunting Argentina has to offer.
Red stag hunting Argentina is an experience driven by two things: raw country and the echo of a roar that carries for miles. March through August, at Andalen Lodge in La Pampa’s caldén forest lights up at dawn—bulls pacing the treelines, breath steaming in the cool air. Push west and the Andes trade soft ground for shale ridges, horseback climbs, and thin-air glassing at 2,500 m. Same animal, different theater.
At Catena Safaris we hunt the rut the way it was meant to be: small groups, long stalks, patience over pressure. Guides who’ve read this land for decades move you with the wind, not the clock. You’ll end each day by wood fire, Malbec wine in hand, replaying a shot that started as sound on the other side of a hillside.
Come south for red stag hunting Argentina that’s as real as it gets—no fences, no shortcuts, just you, the terrain, and a story you’ll tell forever.
World class cuisine, our most important: Open-fire asados, game meet dishes, and labels from the family cellar.
Two decades reading wind, light, and animal patterns—your success is their craft.
Suites, fireplaces, and details dialed so tight you forget the miles behind you.
We don’t just run hunts — we design experiences that live up to the land. Every detail is intentional. Every outcome earned. And every hunter leaves with more than a trophy.
Our lodges aren’t side accommodations. They’re launch points, built into the terrain and designed around how each region hunts — from the caldén forests of La Pampa to the high ridgelines of the Andes.
Our guides have two decades in this game. They know how to read the wind, the land, and the moment. You’ll move with purpose — no guesswork, no wasted stalks.
Big frames, clean kills, smart encounters. Our success rates are consistently high because we keep group sizes low and standards sharp.
Our Catena Travel team handles every piece of your journey inside Argentina — flights, permits, connections, gear. You focus on the hunt. We take care of the rest.
From fireside asados to wines from our own cellar, you’ll experience the country through the things we do best — land, game, and hospitality that’s real.
We hunt red stag from March through August. Every month offers a different rhythm — from the peak of the roar in early Argentina’s fall to the quiet, calculated stalks of winter. The hunt stays wild. The quality stays high.
Five day packages. All meals, lodging, guiding, and logistics from the nearest airport included.
Depending on terrain and weather, most of the hunts are spot and stalk but We also adapt between glassing, and silent stand setups—always fair, always focused.
We provide high-quality Weatherby Mark V rifles .30-06 caliber.
