Am considering a change of life. May try to retire in Chile. One hears of the fishing salt and fresh. What game is available to hunt throughout this vast country?

I'm heading down there in a couple of weeks. Great wildfowling, pheasants, hares and quail.

Big game, has boar, fallow and red deer, and fishing has rainbows, and browns. Sea run brown trout and a pacific run population of Atlantic salmon.

I think sport wise you should be kept busy!!

You could always join us in the name of research!!

I always heard great things about Chile
Too bad , you don't hear much here on AR or from outfits from there.

My uncle just sold out of everything here in Texas and moved to Chile lock stock and barrel. He spent the last two years researching where would be the best place to move and said Chile is the place. Bought a piece of land, built a nice house, clean water, great climate, wonderful food and great health care. He said he was getting out before the politicians took everything he owned in the name of big govt.
No big game hunting to speak of in Chile but plenty small game and fishing. Neighboring countries offer big game. He does not hunt anymore so he didn't know anything about firearm ownership.

Lived in Chile for two years. Great people, so so government. It's a very, and I mean very political country.

Not sure about the hunting, but would be interested to hear more....

Jason, I have been looking for information about the cost of living in Chile. How far will my retirement income take me when I get there. What reference base could you suggest.

LB404:

It been 20+ years since I've been there. Therefore, I couldn't give the current economics info. However, I'd be happy to tell you about the people, lifestyles, etc.

It's a very unique country to say the least. Feel free to send me a PM and call me. I will give you all the info I can

That would be nice!

If i can retire someday i would live in the patagonia ,Chile or Argentine far south is ok very little goverment there and i hate goverment .
South south africa is ok too....there are many red stags and wild boar in Chile but Argentine is more pro gun ...
