Buenos Aires Big Game – Season 2017
Most people don’t know that only two hours away from the city of Buenos Aires, there is the biggest herd of wild black buck in the world. You can count them by the thousands on some of the big cattle ranches in this particular area of Buenos Aires province. We at RSP have exclsusive leases on the best ranches and we are have been putting hunters onto big wild blackbuck since 2006. This year so far we have had great hunts for both Black Buck and Axis deer. We also did some of our “all you can shoot” wild boar hunts on horseback, and guest were delighted by these high adrenaline hunts. Our spring season goes until mid December, its a great time to enjoy the nice Argentine spring weather hunting Black Buck and Axis deer— and why not swing by Cordoba and shoot some doves while you are in the neighborhood!

Report Tupungato – Season 2017
We had our best season ever in Tupungato in 2017. Our hunters enjoyed a 100 % success rate and all our guests took huge stags. We also harvested some nice fallow bucks and some pretty bad ass wild boars. From mid March unti the third week in April, the roar was absolutely crazy ! One morning, while hunting with one of our guests we counted 30 different stags roaring in the same hidden valley. We expect nothing different in 2018. Still a couple of open spots available…how can you miss out on a sure thing?

Red Stag Chile – Season 2017
Again in 2017, around the second week of March, Stags began coming down the mountains looking for hinds like clockwork. The roar was strong and steady until mid-April, probably peaking around March 26. We only harvested two bulls in 2017, but both were huge!! We decided to limit the season to only two stags since we noticed that there were many of the big boys that were still strong for the rut and able to handle the winter… also, there were a lot of hinds to cover. So for this past year, two was enough. For 2018, well have a good number of older stags to chase and we are expecting a new record anytime! We still have two open spots for 2018 due to a cancellation.

During the first week of March bulls began streaming down the mountains, out of the woods, and into the valleys.

Junin Red Stag Hunting Report – Season 2013
Junin Ranch—home to one of the largest stable herds of Red Deer in northern Patagonia—produced another round of great hunts despite drier than normal conditions this past season. The difference is that our valleys remain lush with spring rains longer than others, luring foraging game within easy scoping distances. In addition to all guests bagging stags during the rut, we also enjoyed excellent wild boar action, and we’re expecting another great season in 2014. Come join us for a hunting experience of a lifetime in spectacular Patagonia.

Buenos Aires Big Game – End of Season 2012 Report
Buenos Aires province is well known for its extended big game season. It opens March 15 and closes in mid-December. This slot includes Axis Deer and Blackbucks—the two most coveted species of our hunting program. We hunt most of our Blackbucks during duck season (May-July), allowing clients to combine wingshooting and big game stalking into their varied itineraries. This season, guests shot a dozen very nice Blackbucks, with Jennifer from Florida scoring one of the best of the season. It was also her first big game animal! The Axis Deer spring season begins now and extends into mid-December. Most of the big bucks are in hard antler growth and the weather is just beautiful. It’s the perfect time of the year to combine big game hunts with doves hooting in Cordoba. Due to the intensive rains central Argentina received in late winter, we’re expecting one of the best springs in many, many years!

Red Stag Chile – End of Season 2012 Report
Few people know that a patch of forest and hills in the central valley of southern Chile hides some of the biggest wild red stags in the world. RSP has exclusive hunting rights to these grounds and is well versed in the intricacies of the area. This past season was another success, with the big stags venturing out of the woods like clockwork for the mid-March rut. Our guest harvested nice bulls, most of them during misty mornings that are so typical of the Chilean woods—a similar esthetic to the forests in Eastern Europe. We expect a great 2013 season, so far winter has been mild and the herds appear to be fat and healthy. Antler growth should be excellent.
