For discerning shooters interested in the finest duck and perdiz hunting in South America, look no further than Estancia Santa Rita, Argentina. Rainfall around the Estancia has been steady during September, and we anticipate 2023 will be another banner duck season for our traveling sportsmen.
 
The good news doesn’t stop here. The Estancia has new equipment, new guns, wine upgrades on request, innovative permanent dry blinds, complimentary waders, and electronic duck calls to make your hunt as productive and comfortable as possible.  The variety of ducks is incredible here with rosybills, Chilean wigeon, yellow-billed pintails, cinnamon teal, specked teal, silver teal, white-cheeked pintails, spot-winged teal, and a couple species of smaller divers. The terrain is relatively flat with cooler, more pleasant weather than areas further north. The landscape is ideal for decoyed duck hunting with mile after mile of ponds, grain fields, potholes, and marshes.
 
Hunters may also add perdiz hunting over pointers to explore the diversity of the area. This upland, Chukar-sized game bird flushes in singles and pairs and provides a challenging target. Hunted over English Pointers and Brittany Spaniels in terrain similar to that of the American Midwest, the perdiz offers a more active walking hunt as another exciting dimension in addition to the incredible duck hunting.
 
This is arguably the most elegant duck lodge you’ll ever find. The Estancia is an incredible 100-plus-year-old, Basque style, 18,000 square foot mountain mansion with all the accoutrements. Truly a beautiful lodge with a rich history, they also offer guests chef prepared gourmet meals and you’ll stay in seven stylishly decorated rooms in the tranquil setting of the Buenos Aires Province countryside.  Located about a 4.5-hour leisurely drive from Buenos Aires, and they can get you there comfortably in their professionally driven sprinter van while you nap or you may take a private charter flight and then a one hour drive to the Estancia.
 
The April to August season fills quickly so contact Elaine Wissolik to reserve your spot today.
