This is an abbreviated report as I am so busy right now. We just got back from our 8th annual trip with Argentina Outfitters where we hunted ducks. Let me give a few details: Hunters: Larry Shores, Ryan Shores & Collen van der Linden ( yes, the PH from Zim) Dates:July 18, 2012 to July 24, 2012 Booking agent: John Barth of Adventure Unlimited Area: Various farms within 1 hour of the town of Florentino Ameghino Airlines: Delta & a charter company Guns: Benelli Super Black Eagle II Shells: RD #5's which I would categorize as light loads. Species of ducks taken: Rosy bill pochards, white cheeked pintails, brown pintails, speckled teal, cinnamon teal, ringed teal, silver teal, red shoveler, white faced whistling duck, black bellied whistling duck and Chilean widgeon. Accommodations: We stayed at an estancia known as La Chancra. It is a massive old house and very Bavarian. I strongly suspect past Nazi involvement. We killed a lot of ducks. Personally, I shot 732 in 6 days. Argentina Outfitters is a great company. They are nice guys, honest and hard working. It is a fantastic hunt. Lots of birds. Lots of shooting. Lots of food. Lots of fun. I am going back next year. I guess that says it all. Below are a few pictures: My favorite picture of the entire trip. After a morning shoot After another morning shoot Picking up A little triple action (click on the picture) I will post more later plus a separate report on the fantastic dove hunting at Los Chanares. | ||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||
