I just got home from Argentina this morning, and am headed back out tomorrow to take my boys turkey hunting, so I am really short on time. Instead of writing a really long detailed report, I am just going to let the photos basically speak for themselves...

In short, we visited Caza Pampa's 2 ranches in LaPampa. The stags were roaring really well on arrival, it got hot and they tapered off, but still did enough early and late to get on them.

1st morning - management stag - 5x6


Free range blackbuck


Asian Buff








Some stags we saw while I was trying to kill one with a bow. I got close a bunch of times, but never could make it happen.




Other lodge



Last morning, I got the muzzleloader back out and had in incredible hunt. We had built a little brush ground blind by a wallow the day before, and at daylight a few roared in the vicinity. Soon I could tell one bull was getting closer, and about 8:00, he emerged out of the fog at 75 yards. He threw his head back and roared a couple of times and walked to the water. he was only 35 yards away, and I had to ease the gun up slowly. He roared a couple more times in the water, and I hammered him with the muzzleloader. The stag only went about 7 yards and tipped over.


Later that day - we went out and shot a few birds - pigeons, doves and parakeets.


I did get to watch my UK Wildcats win the Final Four on ESPN Argentina - in Spanish!



Great trip, great hunting, great food and drink and great people...

We made 2 really good shows from the trip. Glad to be home...Adios...

Looks like a heck of a good trip Tim....I could be intersted in that sorta hunt.

Have a good time with the boys!

Way to go Tim

Hey Tim,

Nice stags !!! Glad to see you enjoy your trip down here. Next time we must arrange to share a beer or two.

Thanks...

Lorenzo - definitely...

Nice Tim... that is a fun part of the world to hunt. Lots of variety! The last stag you shot is bustante grande!

Great trophies. that black buck is a real monster. I have never seen one with such thick horns, not even in India.

Nice photos, Tim!

Loved every one of them except the one with the 'Cats cap. Can't agree with you on that one!

Excellent pictures! Looks like fun!

Conrats Tim, looks like fun.

Looks like you had a great trip, congrats and good luck on your turkey hunt with the kids, I'm sure that will be just as fun.

Bravo ! A red deer hunt in Argentina is beyond cool !!! What a sound they make when they roar !!!

Great looking animals Tim,
Do you have any pictures of the terrain you were hunting in?

Steven,

I didn't get any landscape photos as it was fairly flat to gentle rolling, and pretty darn thick in most places...come to KY in the next few weeks and let's turkey hunt with Zack...I am hunting with him Monday...

Congratulations Tim, nice trophies !!!
Thunder, surely the terrain looks "like" the picture above, cheers. Guille

Great trophies, great photos. Even that "management" stag is a beautiful animal. Congratulations!

Isn't that typical? Hunt all week with a bow, finally trade it for a gun...and then shoot your critter at archery range!

That is a huge Blackbuck Tim!! Congratulations on a great hunt...

Congratulations Tim and great photos!

By the way, Kentucky was unreal this year...

Looks like a great hunt Tim....too bad our pathes didn't cross. We literally followed right in your footsteps!

Man, we saw one free range blackbuck after I killed mine that was indeed Muy Grande! I've never seen anything like it. Oh well, an excuse to go back!

As always a great hunt Tim! Thx for sharing!

Perfect hunting trip. Congrats. La Pampa is THE place for free ranging different species.
Alejandro is one of the few PHs down here that can offer excellent hunts. I can assure it cause our ranch knows him for several years.
