Success rate
Success Rate & Physical Condition Our free-range red stag hunt requires a good level of physical fitness, as it involves walking, climbing, and descending mountainous terrain. Hunters in good shape, during peak season, achieve a 90% success rate. However, limited mobility significantly impacts the hunt. If a hunter cannot walk long distances and must remain in a stationary position, the success rate drops to approximately 65%, as opportunities become more restricted. Being physically prepared will greatly enhance your chances of securing a trophy in this challenging yet rewarding hunt.

The great adventure
Stags were roaring all around us. I saw multiple red stags every day. The shots opportunities were generally not close. Expect to shoot around 200 meters but that is expected in big country. The food was great, the accommodations were wonderful. The lodge borders a river with beautiful views around every corner. The family and staff was the best part about the ranch. Everyone at Poncho Patagonia made you feel at home. They genuinely care about your time with them on the ranch. I don’t think I could have picked a better group of people to be around while hunting in the mountains.
Nothing
Unbelievable Redstag Hunt
The accommodations were absolutely amazing and my guide was awesome
There was nothing not to like
VERDADERAMENTE AUTENTICO
Lo naturaleza agreste volcada en la experiencia de caza. Un lugar donde no encontraras ciervos por todos lados para dispararles. Sino que por el contrario , la caza es totalmente deportiva en la dificultad del acercamiento y demás experiencias vividas , en un entorno salvaje y con excelentes guias conocedores de la zona

Not for canned hunters!!!!
According to the hosts, I was the first hunter from Europe on their farm. I fully recommend hunting in this beautiful part of the world to everyone. The whole family treated us like family from the beginning. We felt at home here. Great food, great hospitality. Challenging hunting, lots of walking, but I like that. You have to outwit the animal, it has a better chance than you and I like that. It's not an easy hunt, but if you manage to outwit the deer, it's a great experience. Manu was a professional guide who did everything for a successful hunt. I recommend it to everyone who loves hunting in the mountains in beautiful virgin nature. I still want to go back
A great free range hunting experience with great people in beautiful country.
