The word “perdiz” is Spanish slang for the red-legged partridge. The “real” perdiz are not available in Argentina. In Argentina, the tinamou is the species we call the perdiz. These are fast sporty birds that hold well for dogs, fly fast and survive and thrive in light cover. The tinamou is fantastic table fare with an outstanding white meat. The common tinamou is the size of a partridge and provides a worthy prey for the hunter and the dogs. Partridge hunting is classic upland shooting over pointing dogs. Anyone with a passion for hunting over dogs will appreciate this challenging alternative to high-volume shooting.

PERDIZ
May to August: Estancia Cortaderas
The Tinamou or “Perdiz” as it is known in Argentina is a partridge which lives in the abundant grass of the vast Argentine countryside. Argentina is home to 15 species of partridge, the most common of which is the Spotted Tinamou. Partridges exist in large numbers in rural Argentina because they lay eggs 4 to 6 times per year and live in well-concealed locations. They survive on a diet of seeds and insects which, when combined with the fact that they walk more than they fly, is why partridges have what is perhaps the most tender and delicious breast meat of any game bird. Because of their strong inclination to walk, partridges also afford good scent trails to our pointing dogs. They depart with an explosive burst of speed, producing 40-60 yard targets as the whistle of wing beats pierces the tranquility of the rural setting.
