Province of Buenos Aires
. Duck and Geese hunting areas are located in the Province of Buenos Aires. There are 3 separate hunting areas to choose from to offer more availability for the best hunting for the time scheduled. All are within driving distance of Ezeiza airport. Hunting places are ten to forty minutes drive from lodging/Estancia's.
       Hunting will be in the heart of one of the most productive corn regions of the country. Also there are plenty of lagoons and marshes, to make the magnificent waterfowl habitat. The guide and his assistants will meticulously arrange every detail of the field operation. They have all had over 5 years experience hunting these properties, plus numerous years of personal hunting experience. The main guide speaks excellent english.
       Duck shooting will be from blinds over decoys. One can expect to get several different duck species (11 in area). Typically there are no limits (however once there way a limit of 25 per day).

       Goose hunting will be in grain stubble fields with decoys. Layout blinds or field blinds. No limits...so you can get a lot of practice for the upcoming season....or break a new gun.
