With more than 35+ family-owned, high-end sporting lodges across Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, the Bahamas & The United States, The Kautapen Group brings together a lifetime of experience dedicated to fly fishing, wingshooting, and big-game hunting. Through Nervous Waters, David Denies Bird Hunting, and Red Stag Patagonia, we deliver best-in-class guiding, authentic hospitality, and the consistency that comes only from operating our lodges under our own ownership and uncompromising standards. Each experience reflects our commitment to excellence, conservation, and the values that have guided our family for more than four decades.
David Denies Bird Hunting represents a collection of 13 world-class wingshooting lodges across Argentina and Uruguay, offering some of the finest bird hunting experiences on the planet. From the legendary high-volume dove shooting in the rolling hills of Córdoba, to the rich wetlands of Buenos Aires Province— where marshes and lagoons teem with seemingly endless flights of ducks—to the serene pastures of Uruguay, home to the highest concentration of fast-flying perdiz, each destination is carefully chosen to deliver the ultimate wingshooter’s paradise.
At every lodge, guests are immersed in an experience defined by impeccable style and an unwavering attention to detail. Beautifully appointed accommodations provide a warm and inviting “home away from home,” where comfort and authenticity meet. Each day is complemented by exceptional cuisine, prepared by some of South America’s most talented, internationally trained chefs.
From your first conversation with our team as you begin planning your trip of a lifetime, to long after you return home, the David Denies experience is defined by personalized service and seamless execution. For nearly four decades, this commitment to excellence has established our lodges as the premier destination for discerning bird hunters from around the world.
