    Does Anybody Have A Highpowerd Air Rifle And Is A Good Shot?

    While I'm with you on the pigeons, you should leave the turtle doves be. Its a migratory species, and will return to that same box every year for the rest of its life. Actually a very beautiful thing when you consider the great distances they travel and the accuracy of their return. Had a pair...

    any suggestions on hostels here in BA?

    I have 7 days to renew my VISA... best course of action?

    Yep, best thing to do is take a trip to Uruguay or Chile. Immigration will tell you the same. I know a guy from Holland who's been doing it for 8 years, so it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. Even if its overdue by months they won't give you a hard time, just have to pay the $50 pesos. So...

    4 BR for 6 months

    www.bytargentina.com is a good resource, as is craigslist. With 4 people, you will be able to afford a pretty decent place. Your best bet is to stay in a hostel or rent a place for a week or two until you are familiar with the city. No point in comitting to a place for 6 months site unseen...
