» General Information:
Duck hunting is the main activity in this area and our country is, without a doubt, a great choice particularly duck hunting. Reserves in Buenos Aires province are a permanent inhabitat for the different duck species of Argentina. There are 12 common species in this area of Argentina, which is an area called the central lowlands, or wet pampas. In order of abundance you should see these ducks as they are listed below. Most all whistle, except for the Pochard which purrs, or burrs like the Canvasback. Fulvous Whistling, Duck Speckled Teal, White-faced Whistling-duck, Yellow-billed Pintail, Speckled Teal, Red Shoveler, Cinnamon Teal, White-cheeked Pintail, Silver Teal, Rosy-billed Pochard, Ringed Teal, Black-headed duck, etc. The unique grounds, the water wealth and this great delta of streams, lagoons and marshes, turn this area into a particularly attractive habitat for the variety of aquatic animal species.
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 hunter´s needs are catered for. Bird-boys will use typical calls.
» Package:
Mornings start early, with a wake up call well before dark, and breakfast cooked to order at the ranch.
