Arguably the crown jewel of Argentine big game hunting, the red stag (Cervus elaphus) draws hunters from across the globe with its impressive antlers and challenging behavior. Originally introduced to Argentina in the early 20th century, red stag populations thrived in the country’s temperate forests and mountainous regions, offering hunters a true wilderness experience. The provinces of La Pampa, Neuquén, and Rio Negro are particularly renowned for their red stag hunting opportunities, with vast private estates and hunting reserves catering to both rifle and bow hunters. The rutting season, typically occurring from March to April, provides an unparalleled hunting experience as majestic stags engage in fierce battles for dominance, echoing across the landscape.

For those seeking a more formidable challenge, the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) presents an exhilarating hunting opportunity in Argentina’s wetlands and marshes. Originally introduced for agricultural purposes, water buffalo populations have flourished, making them a sought-after game species for their sheer size and resilience. The vast marshlands of the Esteros del Iberá in Corrientes province offer prime hunting grounds for water buffalo, where hunters can navigate through dense vegetation and winding waterways in pursuit of these formidable beasts. With their thick hides and powerful build, water buffalo require skilled marksmanship and strategic planning, adding an element of thrill and adventure to the hunt.

Known for its striking beauty and agility, the black buck (Antilope cervicapra) captivates hunters with its sleek black coat and spiraled horns. Native to the Indian subcontinent, black buck were introduced to Argentina in the late 19th century and have since established thriving populations in the country’s open grasslands and savannas. The provinces of Buenos Aires and La Pampa boast abundant black buck populations, offering hunters the chance to stalk these graceful antelope across expansive plains dotted with scrub vegetation. With their keen senses and swift movements, black buck provide a challenging yet rewarding hunting experience, blending skill and patience amidst Argentina’s picturesque landscapes.
