San Miguel del Monte

Duck and Perdiz Hunting

Early May through mid-August.

 Just 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, the fertile lands of this vast river basin with its many potholes, river channels, and canals are the winter home to millions of ducks and is some of the most fertile land in Argentina producing corn, soybeans and other cereal crops. Duck varieties include speckled teal, silver teal, cinnamon teal, ring teal, Brazilian teal, brown pintail, white cheek pintail, and rosy-billed pochard. Hunters can expect eight boxes of shells per day on ducks. Virtually all shooting areas are within 30 minutes of the estancia. This is the best duck hunting on EARTH!

Outfitter Cristian Battegazzore provides an excellent kennel of careful Brittanies, English setters and German shorthairs for pursuit of Argentina’s terrific upland game bird, the spotted tinamou (locally called perdiz). Hunters can expect to shoot a limit of 6 perdiz each in 1-2 hours, enjoying careful dogwork and flawless retrieving. Hunting generally takes place within a twenty to thirty-minute drive from the estancia.
