THE DUCK HUNT EXPERIENCE

The many different species of decoying ducks will make your experience unforgettable.

THE HUNT

Early in the morning, after a full breakfast, we drive to the hunting area (15 to 45 min.) and wade out to the blinds. The blinds are built of natural reeds and our placed on the shore line making the walks short and easy. The guide spreads the decoys, and at first light you will hear the sounds of ducks and other marsh birds all around you. After shooting three or four boxes, we head back to the lodge, for a snack and a gourmet lunch, with wonderful Argentinean wines. During the afternoon, we hunt ducks until sunset, or we limit out. In some of our lodges we can hunt Perdiz over dogs, doves or Pigeons when you limit out during the morning hunt. Then enjoy some drinks by the fireplace and another outstanding meal before we get ready for the next day.
