GEESE HUNTING
The Magellan geese is hunted in this area. It is considered a pest and the shooting has no limits.
These are migratory birds coming from the colder southern weather in winter (starting to arrive on May and staying until mid-August). The colder the year, the sooner they arrive. We recommend June- August for best shooting. Our guides keep scouting the area every day in order to achieve the highest possible volume of birds. Shooting fields are changed every day.
DUCK HUNTING
There are several species of ducks in this area and this number can change depending on the time of year. The most comon are: Crested Duck, Brown Pintail, Silver Teal, Speckled Teal, Brazilian Duck, Rosy-billed Pochard, Red Shoveler, Cinnamon Teal, White-cheeked Pintail, Fulvous Tree Duck, Black Bellied Tree Duck.
Hunting takes place from blinds located on the side of the ponds, and sometimes inside the ponds. Waders or hip boots are recommended.
PERDIZ AND DOVE HUNTING
The afternoons are complemented with the finest perdiz (similar to grouse) hunting with trained dogs. It is also possible to hunt for doves and pigeon. In both cases the number of birds is very high.
