Duck Hunting Report August 2013

Our hunts take place along San Javier River, in the province of Santa Fé, where the Paraná Delta, the rice fields and the lakes come together, making of this an authentic paradise for more than twenty species of ducks that inhabit here or migrate to these wonderful lands of South America.


A typical day begins early in the morning, since it is very important to be ready at the shooting place before dawn. After a delicious breakfast, we go to the coast with the staff, where comfortable boats wait for us. We sail under the stars and the dark sky (except with moonlight) through the Delta’s water enjoying the wind in our faces and excited about the great adventure. It is important to wear the proper gear, and you can check for that info in our website. 

 

In this last opportunity, the James family joined us: father and son, both very good hunters. They used semiautomatic shotguns, caliber 20, Beretta brand, Urika 391 model. The shotguns show great loyalty since they didn’t jam at any time, which usually happens at dove hunting because of the large volume of shooting. The Beretta improved gas system of the Urika 2 makes these semiautomatics some of the softest shooting auto loaders – right out of the box – reducing felt recoil and improving second shot recovery. The adjustable drop and cast system ensures a custom fit for every shooter. The optional Recoil Reduction System device can be installed in the X-Tra Grain stock.

 

When we reach the shooting area, the mechanical decoys start to work and the flocks start to show against the wind. Each position is placed strategically. We have one guide and two hunters in each position, and our friends from image and video also working very hard and in absolute silence.

 

We had a great two hours of intensive action. After each hunter made his quota and every piece are collected, we go back to the warm lodge in the boat. At the dock, Ricardo waits for us with our customers’ favorite drink: gin tonic for everyone. At the lodge, we have a delicious appetizer and a fine wine to accompany during lunch.

 

When the afternoon begins to show and everything is ready to continue with another unforgettable shooting session, we go out again looking for more ducks in the branches of San Javier River. With everyone in position, the rock and roll starts and for a while, we are all excited with the action and the birds coming down to the decoys. Our friends are very good shooters, and they also get a couple of long shoots passing through. After the action with the sun starting to hide, and after finishing a wonderful day, we pick up the ducks and go back to the lodge to drink an ice-cold beer and serve our guests with our menu’s specialties and excellent Malbec Argentinean wine, specially chosen by Pointer Wingshooting.

 

Gentlemen’s, for waterfowl hunters, Argentina is your ultimate option, The Summit! The population of ducks is very large and the variety of species that you can find in this area is so vast that it makes this outdoor sport unique. When you think that in most states of the U.S you have to wake up at around 4 am and get in the cold water for 5 ducks if you are lucky; when somebody talks about 20, 30 or 60 ducks a day, your mind blows up.

 

I hope we hear from you soon
