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 Buenos Aires province are
a permanent inhabitat for the different duck species
of Argentina. There are 12 common species in this area
of Argentina, which is an area called the central lowlands,
or wet pampas. In order of abundance you should see
these ducks as they are listed below. Most all whistle,
except for the Pochard which purrs, or burrs like the
Canvasback. Fulvous Whistling, Duck Speckled Teal,
White-faced
Whistling-duck, Yellow-billed
Pintail, Speckled
Teal, Red
Shoveler, Cinnamon
Teal, White-cheeked
Pintail, Silver
Teal, Rosy-billed
Pochard, Ringed
Teal, Black-headed
duck, etc.(Click over the duck link to
see a full sized ilustration). The unique grounds,
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.
