GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Duck hunting is the main activity in this area and our
country is, without a doubt, a great choice particularly
duck hunting. Reserves in Santa Fe province are a permanent
inhabitat for the different duck species of Argentina,
such as: White-faced
Whistling-duck, Yellow-billed
Pintail, Speckled
Teal, Red

Pintail, Silver
Teal, Rosy-billed
Pochard, Brazilian
Duck, Ringed
Teal, Black-headed
duck, etc.(Click over the duck link to

the water wealth and this great delta of streams, lagoons
and marshes, 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
or in the afternoon, local hunters are placed individually
or in pairs in different areas previously selected by
the head guide. Every hunter is accompanied by a guid
and a birdboy, 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.
The
doveshooting, takes part during the afternoon, and in
this area you will have the chance to shoot more than
1000 cartridges per outing. Partridge hunt are made
during the evening, with Britneys and Pointer dogs
