I must disagree with Robert. While "bird hunting" may seem like an inaccurate translation for caza al vuelo, I am quite sure the idea is shooting animals that are in the air, which is pretty much confined to birds, isn´t it? I do not think the idea is shooting animals FROM the air. If you run an image search on "caza al vuelo" you will find lots of images of bird hunting, and none of anyone hunting from the air.

AKA: hunting from the wing/wing hunting/wing shooting/shooting from the wing..... Aereal hunting is probably the most widely used term and it covers a broad spectrum of types of fixed wing, as well as other options for hunting as such.....

Hi Alayna,

Justin is correct, I had included wingshooting in my answer, but I had the idea of hunting from the air, but the correct idea is shooting animals as they fly overhead such as doves, pigeons, partridge, ducks, geese however the term is wingshooting....... Please see:

Wingshooting in Argentina
Wingshooting in Argentina is an activity that must be experienced rather than explained. It takes place in the central region. Argentina is a very big country with few inhabitants, which provides a great varety of scenarios that allow us to offer a number of wingshooting species in the different areas.

The season is open all year without bag limits for dove, it goes from March to October for pigeon, and run from May to August for partridge, duck and goose.

The way we treat our clients combined the confort and security we offer them will secure they remember their hunt with great pleasure and satisfaction for all their lives. You will enjoy delicious typical food and an exceptional hospitality, apart from other services such as beverages in the fields, birdboys and transportation, among others.
