In Argentina, hunting takes place just a short drive from your estancia or
lodge. The region is populated with numerous small farms and varied terrain,
including potholes, marshes and wetlands. With little pressure from local hunters,
this is a waterfowler's paradise.
Accompanying each hunter is a guide who carries shells, places the
hunters in the blind, sets decoys, calls the birds and caters to every
need. A typical hunt begins as soon as light comes. The marsh rises
in thousands of noises and the ducks start flying, flock after flock
to the decoys while the guide calls them in. On any given day, hunters
will see nearly a dozen different species including: rosy billed pochards,
Chilean widgeons, numerous teal and mixes of pintail and tree ducks.
After a filling lunch at the lodge and short siesta, hunters head back
to finish the day's limit. Some afternoons may also include a hunt for
pigeons or perdiz over dogs
"Three full days of shooting — excellent!
This was our third trip to South America and was the overall best. Excellent
VALUE! "
