At San Javier we hunted one full day of doves and perdiz, with a great barbecue in the field like Cordoba style, with our tents, magnificent argentine meat, and red malbec wine; in between a morning of dove shooting, with over 500 shells and a challenging perdiz hunt. 

We hunted 2 complete days together till Ramsey and his crew join us in a Wednesday morning for famous ducks at San Javier Lodge.

We have our program for the morning organized with Fabian; our main duck hunt guide, and Martin and Federico, who were taking care of our guests. We had a great breakfast that morning, with cereals, yoghurt, fruit, toast, hot bread, and scramble and fried eggs with crispy bacon. We all had some hot coffee and orange juice, and some minutes later we were checking our new Cabelas waders, to go to the rice fields and lagoons. We had some 12 guages Benelli SuperSports and 12 gauge Benelli Montefeltro, for some of our guest, and we were shooting some Beretta 20 gauge Urika with both active and fiocchi shells for some testing. 

After we had a difficult morning in the islands, the good thing is that everybody had got their limits, and shot big volume of shells, meaning that the hunt was challenging and the volume of birds, amazing. “This is a dream”, said one of our friends talking about a unique duck hunt in Argentina, something that is impossible to do in the US. “I wish I will be able to dream more often” said Bob, and he mentioned, “we will need a wheelbarrow to carry all this ducks”, and that was exactly what we did. What a nice feeling for all of us, after such a long team work, with the guides, field assistants, our crew at the lodge, our soldiers at the office and our sales reps in US, we have been able to get those minutes of happiness for everybody.  

Every waterfowl hunter should visit Argentina at least one time. Enjoy camaraderie at the lodge (check the pictures below by Chelo ) and have a trip of a life time, hassle free and with some great bilingual hosts and guides.

Be ready, you should be the next one!
