Season
The duck hunting season in Argentina begins in May, coinciding with the arrival of the first cold winds of the year, and extends until August.
Throughout these months, duck hunting is balanced, although the presence of different species may vary depending on the month. Depending on the time of year, hunters may observe a greater number of ducks from one species than another.
Duck Species
Argentina is one of the countries with the greatest variety of ducks, where you can find more than
13 different species. Among them, the following stand out: Rosy-billed Pochard, Fulvous
Whistling Duck, White-faced Whistling Duck, Yellow-billed Pintail, White-cheeked Pintail, Red
Shoveler, Brazilian Duck, Speckled Teal, Ringed Teal, Silver Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Chiloe Wigeon,
and Black-headed Duck
Shotguns
For bird hunting, we have new shotguns from the Benelli and Beretta brands, available in both 12 and 20 gauge. In addition to being able to attach stock extenders and customize them to your fit, we also have shotguns for left-handed shooters.
In the Benelli brand, we offer the M2 and M1 models.
In the Beretta brand, we have the A400 Xplor Kick Off model (this system reduces recoil by 70% when firing the shotgun).
License
Hunting permits are managed by Rancho Salvaje Safari. Once the hunt begins, each hunter will be provided with a permit and license that will allow them to hunt different species and animals in various provinces.

OUR RECOMMENDATION
Ultimately, we recommend the following for your upcoming trip. If you’re seeking a duck hunting experience focused specifically on morning and evening hunts with guaranteed quotas, but also want the option to mix in some afternoons with partridge hunting, dove hunting, or fishing for giant dorado and surubi, our lodge located in San Javier on the banks of the Parana River (a world-renowned duck hunting area) has everything you need for your trip, and it’s the place you’ll wish you’d discovered sooner. Here, the quotas are incredible, and the abundance of ducks leads us to consider this area as Argentina’s largest duck reserve. Without a doubt, if you’re a dedicated duck hunter, you won’t want to miss this place.
If you are looking for a more complete and diverse experience, where you can enjoy all bird hunting modalities in Argentina from a single lodge, our Lodge La Paloma is ideal, as it is located between the provinces of La Pampa, Buenos Aires, and Córdoba. Start your mornings with thrilling duck hunts in the area’s lagoons and rivers, and in the afternoons, immerse yourself in an impressive spectacle by shooting at the countless doves in the majestic roosts, where you can
witness millions of them, or hunt pigeons in our exclusive feedlots, where the hunting experience is similar to duck hunting, as they are attracted by decoys. You can also choose to hunt common partridges or forest partridges with the help of our exceptional dogs, trained by us.
Additionally, here you will have the opportunity to combine small game hunting with big game hunting, where you can encounter species such as red deer, water buffalo, blackbuck, axis deer, mouflon, wild boar, and more. If this is the destination you seek, you won’t regret it. Both destinations await you to start a new adventure with Rancho Salvaje Safari.
