Red Stag Hunting in Argentina
The Definitive Guide

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.

More about
Red Stag hunting Argentina

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.

Red stag hunting Argentina is built on a simple equation: vast ground + a species that was born to dominate it. Imported from Europe more than a century ago, today’s Argentine stags are heavier-bodied, heavier-beamed, and just plain wilder than their Old-World cousins—often topping 420 lb with 30-point crowns that score 650 SCI.
 
Pack light, step off the plane, and feel the province inhale—because the next dawn you’re toe-to-toe with a roaring monarch and every sense is wide open. This isn’t a tour; it’s a pulse-pounding shot at the wildest red stag hunting Argentina can give, wrapped in fireside nights, gaucho grit, and Catena wine you’ll taste again every time you tell the story.

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.
