Estancia Taita

Throughout this adventure, you’ll hunt both the Columbus Picazuros and the smaller blue-gray spotted pigeons. The pigeons in the region are considered a pest and the locals welcome our hunters. The pigeons have been known to destroy an entire 70-100 acre field in one day.

A typical day begins early with breakfast at the lodge before heading to the fields. Shoots take place over expertly set decoy spreads, including electronic “pigeon magnets,” withbird boys handling blind setup, decoying and retrieving.

Lunch is often enjoyed outdoors in traditional Paraguayan style with a relaxed field Asado—grilled meats, sides, desserts, and cold drinks—before returning for an afternoon shoot.

After hunting, return to the lodge for cocktails, hot showers, and a refined dinner featuring locally sourced cuisine paired with exceptional South American wines.

Estancia Taita sits amid vast Mennonite farming country where peanuts, corn, sorghum, soybeans, and other staple crops create arguably the most consistent and concentrated pigeon shooting anywhere in the world today.

Estancia Taita is brand-new, purpose-built and exceptionally comfortable 16,000 square foot lodge, providing hunters with 10 spacious single rooms with A/C, heat and en-suite baths. The lodge’s warm, well-decorated quincho bar and welcoming living room provide an ideal setting for unwinding and connecting with your fellow hunters after a day afield.
