GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Water fowling is the main activity in this area and
our country is, without a doubt, a great choice
particularly duck hunting. Reserves in south Entre Rios
are a permanent inhabitat for the different duck species
of Argentina, such as: White-faced Whistling-duck,
Yellow-billed Pintail, Speckled Teal, Red Shoveler,
Cinnamon Teal, White-cheeked Pintail, Silver Teal, Rosy-billed
Pochard, Brazilian Duck, Ringed Teal, Black-headed duck,
etc. The unique grounds, the permanent water
wealth and the great culture of rice, 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,
local hunters are placed individually or in pairs in
different areas previously selected by the head guide.
Every hunter is accompanied by a guide, a birdboy and/or
a ret dog, 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. To pick up downed
ducks we will be using retrieving dogs such as Labs
after the hunt is over. The lodge will also provide
hunters with boots, waders, capes if its necesary.
As a complment to the duck hunt, during the afternoon,
perdiz over dogs, dove and pigeon hunts are organized.
If you like big game you will have the chance to hunt
for axis deer, wild boar, blackbuck antelope, water
buffalo, feral goat among other big game trophies. The
hunt is done inside the property, just 15-minute far
from the main house,
