Hunting
Approx. Season: April 20 – August 15
Experience the ultimate Argentina mixed-bag wingshooting adventure, where every day brings a new challenge. Morning duck hunts take place over decoys in prime wetland habitats, offering exciting passing shots. Hunts are typically conducted with two hunters per blind, and each shooter can harvest up to 40 ducks or 4 boxes of shells per outing, whichever comes first. Guides rotate between blinds, ensuring a seamless experience. The drive to the boats is typically 5–15 minutes, with a 15–20 minute boat ride to the blinds.
Afternoon dove hunts offer high-volume shooting just 30–40 minutes from the lodge. Expect an action-packed experience, often going through 10–20 boxes of shells per outing. For those who prefer a more traditional upland hunt, perdiz hunting over well-trained pointers is an excellent alternative. Perdiz flush individually or in pairs, not in coveys like quail, making for a classic and rewarding hunt. Perdiz hunts are guided two hunters per guide, with a limit of 8 birds per half-day hunt. Guests can swap a morning duck hunt for a perdiz hunt at no additional cost, while exchanging an afternoon dove hunt for perdiz incurs a $180 fee.
Daily Schedule
Mornings begin with a delicious, hearty breakfast before heading out to the duck blinds before sunrise. Hunt through mid-morning, then return to the lodge for a well-earned break and lunch. Afternoons offer time to relax before heading out for an exciting dove or perdiz hunt around 2:30–3:00 PM, shooting until sunset. Evenings at the lodge are a highlight, featuring fine wines, gourmet meals, and warm Argentine hospitality, providing the perfect setting to relive the day’s adventures.
