I think Sheldon has done it. Took my daughter in 2016. We had a blast. Get a place where you don’t drive far for the birds. Bring lots of money. I think we enjoyed shooting pigeons more. We did 4 days. We went with Sier Safaris. You cannot bring any back. Or more accurately you cannot bring them into the USA.

Know a couple people, friends of friends, that have been down there to cull "This was just before lunch, $8/box" "Had bacon wrapped jalapeño popper chicken for dinner that night"
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Never been, but interested. Not sure my shoulder can handle all that action, but I’d give it a shot. Pun intended. Shoot like a 20 gauge semi auto and use a vest with integrated shoulder pad. It’s really more harder on the hands than anything. Wear leather gloves.

You are helping to destroy the environment, and all so that you can brag to your friends about the thousands of animals that you killed! People like you make me sick. More importantly, people like you kill sea life! Disgusting.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Shooting gloves and high quality ear protection are a must.

I've divided my shooting about equally between a 28 gauge and 20 gauge the past few years...shell cost is the same and it's amazing how far you can kill a dove with a 28 gauge and there's virtually no recoil... not sure if el coyote is being facetious or not with the helping to destroy the environment comments or not but argentina and especially Bolivia are poor countries and the birds I've killed over the years have been appreciated by a lot of families and orphanages the birds have been given to.....

I pop a few dozen up here every year. We have them for Dove Poppers on TG morning, That ain't hunting. That is shooting, No problem with it. Have your fun. Never had an interest in Guides fishing or hunting. Lots of folks do and I have no problem with it. Ear protection. Ear Protection. Your shoulder will be ok after a few days. Your ears will ring the rest of your life.

$11 per box is insane especially when you see the videos and how much you would be shooting. If i recall the other thread they didn't keep any of the birds. Don't remember if it's cause there were just too many or if they weren't allowed to bring any back. How much should a box of ammo cost? $11 is cheap. not for dove load. Academy sells them for about $4 (lil under) during dove season for Remington. I get they need to make some money off them, but that's a bit much of a markup. Then again you are a captive audience.

I bet those birds made a nice meal for some of the poor locals.
