For the duck hunting, that takes part in the morning or in the afternoon, local hunters are placed individually or in pairs in different areas previously selected by the head guide. Every hunter is accompanied by a guid and a birdboy, to the hunting place in 4x4 light trucks. Hunters may be shooting by a lagoonside from blinds located in the water. Every spot will have decoys set up and every hunter will be assisted by a bird-boy whose job is to make sure the hunters needs are catered for. Bird-boys will use typical calls.
