The reasons for River Plate’s extraordinary duck shooting is its successful learning curve
on feeding, shoot management, and the selection of areas with more than one water level. For
example, in south Entre Rios, there are unique marsh systems with three different water levels, thus ensuring that at any given time conditions are ideal in one area
or another, regardless of ever-changing climate conditions or even phases of the moon.
For each of its duck programs, River Plate feeds from 150-200 blinds, EVERY DAY. The
feeding program involves a team of 15-20 gamekeepers who feed the ducks in varying amounts
according to the number of ducks on any given body of water, and the phase of the moon.
The blinds are easily accessible. There is seldom a need to take a boat or wade through treacherous
muck or do any walking at all. Hunters simply step out of the vehicle into the blind. Each blind hosts
one or two men on swivel seats over conventional decoys and battery-powered or wind-powered
decoys, while the guide uses an electronic caller that is capable of calling all the species available.
THIS IS THE WORLD´S BEST DUCK HUNTING...
Guests will see a continuous stream of low-flying decoying ducks of many species —
including the prized rosy-billed pochards — charging into the decoys at a shell consumption rate
of one box every 15-20 minutes! If you have never experienced this shooting, maybe you haven’t
really experienced duck hunting.
The duck experience does not end when departing the blind. Guests will savor duck a l’orange
and duck stroganoff and other gourmet duck specialties prepared by River Plate’s master chefs. |
