Yes, my friends! Argentina, my coutry, is the natural home of the VIZCACHA ("lagostoma maxima", the scientific name) a mammal who lives in large herds or family groups, under the soil, in a caves were they sleep and live during the daylight and leave in the dawn to feed and make your "bussines..."
The vizcacha, it´s a very challenge animal for hunt! The meat is very appreciate, very nice, taste and delicated... used in a lot of ways and cooked as many form as the imagination can make!
Also, the caves of the vizcacha, make this animal a "plague" for the cattering and agriculture! Because thath, the goverment declare this animal a PLAGUE, and the hunters, ar very glad of that! because there is no restrictions for hunt, no seasons (depends of the province legislation)
The hunt is all practiced at night! and about this... many books are able to be write because ther are not one, two, or three... there are a lot of ways to do the job!
Usually we use the .22 caliber, but many hunters prefer the .17 HMR or the 22 mag... some uses the .223, and I... fanatic one, the 7,65x53 ARGENTINO, with a low and subsonic charge and lead bullets of 180 gr...at 1000 fps...a luminous scope of 4 or 6 x.... and a flashlight, if the night is dark, and at the moonlight, without artificial light, too... the shots placement, all the times, there should be at the HEAD... there are the only chance to take down this animal, without the possibility of woun them and loose in the caves (the vizcacha even deadly wouded, are very resistant...and shrink in the caves, deeply... IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH THEM... and die here...)
In fact, any of you, fellows, wich travel to my country and like to test this beautiful, challenging, and interestin hunt, talk with me! I´m pleasure to be your guide...
