General Information
Species: Ducks (Over 12 species)
Season: May to July.
Our Lodges are primarily Argentine Estancias built by the Cattle Barons of the Early 20th Century. They were built with luxury and relaxation as the main goal.
After an exciting day in the field or on the water, you will be met by our staff and treated as if you were the Cattle Baron of yesteryear. Cold drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a relaxing fire allow you to unwind from the glorious day afield and once you are thoroughly relaxed you will be called to the table and served a meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in Argentina.
Many of our clients say that the hunting and fishing bring them to Argentina but that our lodges and staff bring them back to Pointer Outfitters.

Schedules change depending on the time of the year in between 20 to 40 minutes. After the morning shoot, we can back to the lodge for lunch and siesta. In the afternoon, we depart like 3:00 pm for the evening duck shooting session.
The Perdiz hunting is an option. Normally we hunt them on the afternoon. Schedules may change depending on the time of the year. In the Perdiz Field you and another shooter will be assigned a personal field guide and a dog. This guide will take both of you and let you know every time your dog points a bird.
In the evening, when everybody finishes the shooting day we will return to the Lodge. We are committed to sporting excellence.
