Argentina duck hunting at Huntourage is without a doubt one of the very best duck hunting experiences that the world has to offer! If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to hunt a true duck hunting hot spot and hit it right, then you might probably know what this Argentina duck hunt is going to look like. But if you haven’t hunted a spot like this, you owe it to yourself to book one! You can have sensational duck hunting action all season - from April to August - with barely a break between flocks! This madness will keep you on your toes and out of your mind, that’s for sure! There are more ducks and species in this hunting area than any other place in Argentina! This is truly a duck hunting paradise, and it's for serious waterfowl hunters that are willing to go the extra mile for extra ducks!
Hunting Area: You will be hunting on a massive 100,000-acre wetland that is home to the widest variety of duck species and the largest duck population available in Argentina!
Hunting Season: Ducks are like crazy from the beginning of April until mid August.
Species: Every single duck species available in Argentina can be hunted right here in this marsh including: Silver teal, white-cheeked pintail, red shoveler, ringed teal, brazilian teal, cinnamon teal, rosy-billed pochard, speckled teal or yellow billed teal, yellow-billed pintail, white-faced whistling duck, fulvous whistling duck, black headed duck and more!
Accommodation: This Argentina duck hunting estancia has many facilities that will ensure your stay is a unique experience:
· 5 rooms with double occupancy and private bathrooms
· Dining room, sitting room and bar
· Satellite TV, but no internet access so far
· Argentinean meals, fine wines, traditional “asados” and delicious desserts
· Maid and laundry service
· Comfortable vehicles and boats
How to get there: After landing in Buenos Aires, it is recommended that you overnight in the city for some rest after a long flight. In any case, the best way reach Santa Fe is to book a very short flight (around 1 hour) through Buenos Aires (or contact us to book it for you). There are 3 daily connecting flights from Buenos Aires (Aeroparque Airport) to Santa Fe. The driving time from Santa Fe airport to the lodge is around 5 hours. It might be far, but it's worth the try!
Typical Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival to Santa Fe Airport. Direct Transfer to the Lodge (5-hour drive on average). You will either have lunch or dinner depending on the time of arrival. You will have plenty of time to rest and unwind from travelling.
Days 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Start with wake up calls early in the morning (usually around 5:30 am). After a light breakfast and coffee, you will depart for your morning duck hunt which is generally spectacular! You will return to the lodge for lunch, a short siesta and head back to a different hunting field where your afternoon shoot begins for Ducks. Afternoon shoots are less productive than morning shoots, however, it's still a great opportunity to go out to the fields and shoot some ducks or perdiz. A few hours later, you will return to the lodge for cocktails/dinner.
Day 5: After the last morning hunt, you will have a quick lunch and depart to the airport to catch your return flight home.
