Trigger & Bait: Hunting in Argentina with John Hughes, exclusive outfitter for the South Carolina Waterfowl Association


Updated Information

Hunting was good in all areas. Drought problems persisted this season in Buenos Aires, Santa Fé and Entre Ríos states, but still we managed to hunt well. The water level again in Paraná river and the delta made our boat rides longer but we hunted!!!!!.

The geese hunts were not good. This is due to the authorities enlarging the banned area as also it was not so cold in Southern Patagonia at the time the geese migrate North. For next season we will not offer geese hunts till we know what the Fauna Authorities decide what they will do.

Shells were easy to purchase but the price kept increasing during the hunting season. 'Los Laureles' lodge have notified that the price of a box of 25 shells will cost USD 15 next year. Other lodges will quote during season.

Duck, dove and perdiz hunting was very good at 'Los Laureles'. At 'La Raquelita' lodge, close to Laprida town in Buenos Aires state, the duck hunting was good but the geese and perdiz was not so good. Dove shooting in 'Selva' was as good as ever.

Hope to making it to Uruguay next season; two different lodges there for dove pigeon and perdiz shooting.

The duck and perdiz shooting in 'Duck Party' program was very good as well .
