I might be visiting South America, hopefully Argentina next January.
My girlfriends father is captain abord a cruiseship, and we're offerede to visit him somewhere in South America and join the cruise for a while.
This got me thinking of hunting of course.

What can I hunt in January?
Were should I start my planning for a hunt?
Any advice appreciated.. Don't know much about Argentina.
But capybara, cougar, blackbuck and axis are very interesting.

I cannot advise on hunting in January, but can only say that it will be very hot where ever you go. Were it me I would head for the south of Patagonia if you are going to be here for awhile. I am sure others with more knowledge than I will comment. It is a beautiful country and you will enjoy seeing so many interesting things.....Bueno suerte

Anders, like Billinthewild said, it will be very hot in January. Puma season would not be open and few axis would be antlered.
You could likely find some ranch/estancia that could offer capybara, water buffalo, and blackbuck for a few hours in the morning and evening. If you could travel much further south to the Patagonia area, it would likely not be so hot.
I have thought that a trip to the end of Argentina--tierra del fuego--would be fun in January. You might even talk them into letting you hunt the wild bulls of the area.

Good luck.

I was going to suggest that you visit Iguazu Falls, and then you said "January." I suppose the jungle there would be as hot and humid as a sauna at that time of year. It is an incredible place, though. I've visited both sides of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi, and the U.S. side of Niagra Falls, but Iguazu made both of them seem insignificant.

Guys. Let the trip to the north of the country until thid f....goverment erradicate the dengue epidemy, now more than 14800 infected, four die by hemorragic type. Our politician are more concerned now by the "next political elecctions" than sanitary satus of the Argentinian citizens.
