Leaving for Algar Lodge in Patagonia tomorrow - does anybody have any advice for me?

My wife and I will spend 3 days at Estancia Arroyo Verde Lodge fly fishing for trout and land locked salmon before we take the 2 hour drive to Algar for the red stag rut. In addition to stag I will take a look at a Pere David's deer and some of the mountain sheep for 5 days.

This will be the first time I have hunted with a rental gun so I hope that goes well.

I will try to post some pictures along with a hunt report when I get back.

If you have been to Algar please let me know if there is anything I should be on the lookout for.

I hunted with Algar in March two years ago. I used a rental rifle of theirs, it was a Win Model seventy in seven mm rem mag, synthetic stock with stainless barrel. It was a good shooting tack driver so if you see it grab it to use.
Don’t be in a big hurry to shoot a stag, you will see a lot of them. Also, once you get your stag they let you shoot all of the cull stags you want, I took two cull stags that week as well

Here is a picture of my mounted stag from March 2023, measured 419” taken in the free range area.
