I go to Argentina every year. I do not beleive there is much commercial sport hunting in Chile. Uruguay is another alternative to Argentina. I am heading for a return trip, Parker in hand, to Tucuman in semi-tropical NW Argentina in early July for ducks, perdiz and doves (Southern Wing Outfitters).Last year we hunted in southern BA province and La Pampa province for duck and doves as well (Four Seasons Adventures- their main duck lodge- San Jose is quite grand). The year before that for ducks only just an 1 1/2 hour drive south of BA itself (a Manuel Lainez operation- always first rate.).
Argentina's wine country is centered around Mendoza in the shadow of the Andes not a place that I am aware is rich in commercial bird hunting opportunities. Much of Chile's wine country is in between Santiago and the coast (I was there last year) again not a place I suspect hunting will be easy to find. Booking a solo hunt can be done but many outfitter prefer groups. Los Ombues is a very good choice for a first time trip.
