OVERVIEW
Red Stag hunting lodge is located on a 100,000–‐acre family owned estancia in the high desert foothills of the Andes. Situated in the province Neuquén, approximately 40 miles southeast of San Martin de los Andes, the ranch is a 2–‐hour drive from Bariloche and San Martin airports. The surrounding landscape is made up of lush green valleys and intimate creeks, set against a backdrop of awe–‐inspiring peaks. Red stag frequent the rich pastures where they come to feed. You’ll also see a wide variety of animals such as guanaco (a type of llama), choique (ostrich), wild boar, puma, fox, and much more. Red Stag season coincides with the rut—known in Argentina as the ´brama’ The vast estancia is entirely unfenced and hunters will encounter herds of deer throughout the day. A pair of hunters will be accompanied by one of our guides, all of whom have an intimate knowledge of the terrain. Guests will move to their chosen hunting grounds by a combination of trucks and horses and then progress on foot. Hunters will stay in a newly refurbished house, close to the main estancia. With wood stoves and a cozy living room, this simple but comfortable lodge is the perfect place to unwind after a day of hunting.
