I don’t even know where to begin, I am still at loss for words. Our group just recently returned from Argentina where we both duck and dove hunted. I first contacted Rick after making a search engine search for Argentina Duck Hunting. After talking with Rick the first time, I knew I had a straight shooter on the line. Rick made the setup of the trip as easy as it could be, kept in contact as to how the hunting season was going with contacts in South America and he was right on the money with his reports. Any questions or reservations we had, Rick answered quickly and put us at ease with the exacts on what to expect. The outfitter was first class, the hunting was as good as it gets beyond your imagination, the accommodations were excellent, the people were friendly, the food was hands down the best I have ever eaten in one week and the trip was definitely “once of a lifetime.” Any reservations we had with Rick, being that it was our first trip with Southern Outfitting or to Argentina have been completely confirmed with his honesty and hard work. Before we had gotten off the plane, we were already discussing our return trip within the next year or two with Southern Outfitting, it was that good. I never knew 4 days of hunting could leave such an imprint in my mind and will be extremely hard to soon forget. Thanks for everything Rick and God Bless.

Thanks again Southern Outfitting. I recently returned from a dove hunting and dorado fishing trip to San Cirilo Lodge in Uruguay and had great week of food, fun and fellowship. I have worked with Rick many times over the years and booked several trips with his company. They have always done a fantastic job of making lodge recommendations, working with me to get the best deals, and arranging every detail of the trip including airfare.
Rick is careful to explain the pros and cons of each lodge and location and is extremely helpful in providing the information needed to decide which lodge is right for me and my group.
I have no reservations with recommending Southern Outfitting to anyone that is planning a hunting trip to South America as unlike other outfitters in the business, Rick never recommends a lodge he hasn’t been to himself and never recommends a lodge he doesn’t feel meets his high standards. This is a huge plus for me because I know if I go with Rick’s recommendations my hunting partners and I will have a hunt of a lifetime.

I booked a Cordoba Dove hunting trip with Southern Outfitting for the fall of 2007 and was not disappointed. As they had promised I saw more dove in an hour than I had seen in the US in my lifetime. This was my second trip to Argentina but my first time using Southern Outfitting. On a previous trip with another outfitter I was made promises that were not kept like short transfers to lodge, 15 minute drives to the fields, and special price on shells, this was not the case on my most recent trip as everything Southern Outfitting said was spot on. I am saving now for my next trip to Argentina, and will definitely book through Southern Outfitting.

After months of interviewing outfitters for an Argentine high volume dove hunting trip I chose Southern Outfitting Company. Their price was competitive, but more importantly their attention to detail was meticulous. This was my first trip to Argentina and Rick explained every detail from the time I left my house to the time I arrived at the lodge and then back home. As my group organizer I was adamant about not letting my group down, and with Rick’s knowledge and experience he delivered a perfect hunting trip for me and my group. Other than a minor issue with bringing wine back to the United States (which was a TSA issue, not related to Southern Outfitting Company) the trip went without flaw. Rick even helped me arrange an extra day in the city Cordoba which I felt went above the call of duty. I would recommend Southern Outfitting to anyone!

I have recently returned from the “trip of a lifetime” as this is what Southern Outfitting Company promised. I normally shoot a 12 gauge, and I was strongly encouraged to take a 20 gauge. I can’t thank the guys at Southern Outfitting Company enough for the advice, and pulling off what I truly consider the trip of my lifetime. My only regret on this trip was not to wet my line in hopes of catching a South American Dorado. I hope to return to Argentina soon, and in the mean time I will recommend Southern Outfitting Company to all my friends.

My son and I booked a three day dove hunting trip for November 2008 in Salta at the Estancia Chacu. Even though we did not have the required minimum of four, Rick was able to get our trip booked when other booking agents refused to even try. We were very pleased with the ALL the arrangements Rick made for us which included all the transfers to and from the airports. The accommodations at Estancia Chacu were first class; the food was outstanding; the service was impeccable; all the staff and manger were personable and professional. The hunting was excellent. We had a very enjoyable time and would be happy to book another trip through Southern Outfitting Company which we hope to do.
