La Pampa: A Trophy Seekers’ Paradise

La Pampa Region, Argentina, is a popular destination for those looking to hunt trophies. The best time to go hunting for Red Stags is from March to July, when they can be seen with their impressive antlers and often gathering near water holes for their mating ritual known as "brama".

When heading for the hunt, you can expect to harvest stags’ trophies in the 300-320 SCI class, with an average antler of 7x7 points and nice crowns. During the heat of the day, the stags often visit water holes to bathe in the water or mud, making these spots ideal for hunting. La Pampa is a prime destination for hunting as the terrain is more level than Patagonia, offering a better range while you enjoy the beauty of south Central Argentina.
