If I go hunting in Argentina can I bring my own gun? How difficult is it?

Hey JimDandy. You can travel with your guns to Argentina. Hunters can arrive into Argentina without prior permission from the Argentine Consulate or any other authority with their guns. The police at Argentina's international airport will provide you with the Technical Form. They will will sign and stamp all three copies and keep the first copy for their records. You must keep the other two copies. One is to be kept with you and used as your gun permit allowing you to possess, transport and use the firearm. It is very important to keep these documents safe as you will need to provide the third copy to the police when leaving Argentina. They will need it to verify the exit of the corresponding firearms. Your gun permit expires ninety days after entry of the gun into the country.

The cost is 300 pesos or about $70 dollars at todays exchange rate (4.30 pesos to the dollar). Follow this link to find a downloadable "Technical Form": http://www.renar.gov.ar/index.php?seccion=circuito_en

A piece of advice: Do not forget to register your guns with United States customs prior to your departure at the international airport. If you do not you will likely encounter problems returning with your gun. You need to complete a "Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad" prior to departure from your international airport. You can find that for here: http://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/cbp_form_4457.pdf

I hope that answered your question!

Hunting the eared dove is what Argentina has become famous for. The eared dove is found in the northern provinces of Argentina and are considered by farmers to be a pest. They welcome the opportunity to be paid by foreigners for the opportunity to hunt the 'pests'. They have built spectacular lodges for the purpose of attracting serious hunters. There is an estimated 23 to 32 million doves in the fields around Córdoba and Tucuman in northern Argentina. It is not uncommon for a single hunter to shoot more than 1000 birds in just one day.
