Lodge "El Fortin"

From the moment you arrive at the airport, you will receive the personalized attention you deserve, with all the essential goods for a perfect hunt. If you arrive at Cordoba's International Airport, we personally pick you up and take you to our farm, "El Fortin", which is located 90 km away from the airport. After enjoying a typical Argentinean barbecue at "El Fortin", we take the hunting group to the shooting fields located 20-30 min away from the farm. Hunting hours start at 7:30 AM, we take the hunting group to the shooting fields which are located 20-30 min away from the farm. At noon we return to the farm to take a break and have lunch. In the afternoon, hunting can continue until around 19:00 PM. The hunters are attended at all times by bird-boys, whose job is to ensure that hunters never run out of cartridges or drinks. Due to the abundance of birds in the area, the shooter sets the limit of shells he/she wants to shoot.

DUCK AND PARTRIDGE HUNTING

The duck hunting is carried out along the delta of the Parana River, in the province of Corrientes. The place is visited by bird lovers from all around the world because the lagoons in the area concentrate an immense amount of birds. Some of the species found in the area are the crested duck, whistling duck, cinnamon teal, blue-wing teal, yellow-billed teal, yellow-billed pintail, white-cheeked pintail, ringed teal, red shoveler, black-headed duck, to name a few. It is standard to shoot between 5 and 8 different species during the hunt. The open season extends from April to August.


Here are some tips for novices:


- Hunters need to have good camouflage.


- Remember that ducks always attempt to land against the wind; this is the best moment to perform the shot.


- Decoys are efficient tools to attract ducks. A whistling duck decoy is made with a pair of bottoms of cartridge. Plastics and percussion caps are retired and pasted one into the other. When someone whistles through the hole, a sound similar to the duck's is produced.


- If the sown fields are flooded and with no enough vegetation where you can hide from ducks, you will need to improvise some kind of station with branches or a piece of camouflaged clothing.


- Ducks fly at high speed (some species reach 40km/h or more) so the hunter needs to anticipate the shot taking into consideration the distance and height that the duck is hovering.


- For the shooting, we prefer supplying shells #6 and/or #7, although some people are inclined to use a bigger size of shot. Also, keep in mind an assistant will be ready to help you in case you need some help or guidance.
