"From frequent updates that it was a banner season from early-May through early-July was easily surmised.  I joined several guests for some Argentina duck hunting during the first week of July.  There was water everywhere, and some of the areas held a significant concentration of ducks, mostly various teal and white-faced whistling ducks.  It was good to be back to Jacana.  We finished with a respectably hard-earned 2,047 ducks." ~Ramsey Russell

Filmed on location in July 2010, this epic footage demostrates precisely why Argentina wingshooting tops every waterfowler's Bucket List.  Beyond more than a dozen species of ducks (and plenty of them), legendary Jacana Lodge program offers a rare level of service and amenities.  Morning and afternoon activities are precisely the same: ducks, ducks, ducks.  Among our portfolio is a fine selection of upland- and mixed-bag wingshooting, but to have experienced the best waterfowl hunting is to have visited Jacana. 

"Having considered Argentina duck hunting my dream trip of a lifetime, I spent considerable time looking at travel options and destinations.  Through research and personal testimony I had very high expectations.

GetDucks.com blew my expectations completely out of the water.  From start to finish, no detail was spared.  The duck hunting was phenomenal.  The accommodations were as nice as I've ever experienced; the chefs, the lodge and field staffs were world-class.

Thanks Ramsey for making my Argentina duck hunt the trip of my lifetime.  It was so good I will soon be making another."

"I just received my complimentary GetDucks.com gift book from our Argentina dove hunting trip. Perfect way to cap off another phenomenal Argentina dove hunt! Now that we have hunted from Canada to Argentina and all over the United States, I must say, each trip out does the last. Each time I go on a GetDucks.com waterfowl hunt, I notice a common theme with the other hunting parties we bump into in the airports and back home - it seems we always end up paying less and killing more than the other guys. I also believe that we have a better time in general.

I sincerely appreciate that I never have to worry with the details on my GetDucks.com hunts either. Taking care of the details is an attribute that I know all of your busy clients appreciate also. After all, I feel the trip's success is always in the details. I like the idea of just sending you my check and hanging on for the ride. I can't wait to again hunt Alberta geese and ducks this October, but it will be hard to beat my 1000 dove morning in Argentina! Thanks again for the awesome trips."

"Our recent Argentina duck hunting trip was a five-star trip. The duck hunting was excellent. The food was outstanding.

I have never stayed at a lodge that has a top of the line chef and a pastry chef. Please reserve me a spot for next year.

Hiring a tour guide to show us Buenos Aires was a excellent idea. "

"Thanks for putting together another great Argentina duck hunt.  The last morning, in particular, will always be one of my fondest wingshooting memories! 

I'd have had a great time even if the ducks had not flown, but we sure put a hurt on them."

"Hunting is an all year passion fueled by the enjoyment of preparing fields, actually hunting, socializing with friends and reliving the experiences over a scrumptious meals and fine liquors. For forty plus years, I have relished that privilege here in the great State of Mississippi.  During the past ten years, I reached a chronologic age and station in life that afforded the opportunity to chase some of those childhood hunting dreams.  After multiple waterfowl hunts in Canada and a recent African safari, I was keenly interested in high volume dove and duck shooting in Argentina. 

I received a multitude of suggestions on Argentina outfitters and lodges.  In my opinion, Ramsey Russell is first class, a pleasure to hunt with and be around. I choose GetDucks.com because I know Ramsey will move mountains to make an Argentina hunting vacation the trip of a lifetime.  Boy, did he deliver this time!

He is well organized, efficient, and thorough. His wife, Anita, coordinates flights, paperwork, and logistics.  Complete turn key services and they are always available to answer any questions or solve travel problems if they arise.  A month before we left, we met Ramsey at Tico's Steak House.  He provided last minute tips and insights about what to expect. Talk about a prelude of things to come!

Words can't adequately describe hunting in Argentina.  We first enjoyed 4 days of superb Argentina duck hunting under very comfortable conditions, with phenomenal numbers and many different species.  Stellar accommodations, parakeet shooting during the midday lull, libations as requested, a multi-course dinner with edible art for dessert made me think I was at the Ritz Carlton instead of a duck hunting lodge.

Ramsey coordinated a personal guide for our overnight in Buenos Aires.  I strongly recommend taking advantage this service.  The guide arranged an excellent dining experience and made sure we caught our flight to Cordoba the next morning and resolved a problem at the airport.

Cordoba dove hunting is indescribable.  Personal guides, more birds than one can imagine, and the opportunity to shoot until literally one doesn't want to shoot any more.  A delightful lunch prepared over an open fire and served with excellent red wine, followed by a short siesta broke the day into two halves, each rivaling the other as to which was more fulfilling.  As one arrives at the estancia, there stands Diego with one's drink of choice.  A stint in the hot tub rehashing great shots and comparing ridiculous numbers of doves taken, followed by a one hour relaxing massage made the meal almost seem anticlimactic or one would think.  The diversity of entre choices prodded me to hit the shower and quickly regroup so as not to miss an opportunity to add a pound.

I had the privilege of enjoying this trip with one of my best friends and his son, and another friend and his stepson.  We enjoyed exclusive use of La Dormida, and Ramsey paired us with some excellent new friends at Jacana.  The intimacy of small groups was perfect.  We're always made to feel like friends, not customers.  I strongly recommend Ramsey Russell as hunting travel agent and GetDucks.com's Argentina wingshooting programs.  I eagerly await the opportunity to return, and yearn for the time when my son will be old enough to share this special experience."

The attention to detail was impeccable from greeting to departure. The lodge staff made sure that our stay and our experience were as enjoyable as possible.  No request was too small or too large. And of course, the hunting experience itself was second to none. Anita made everything as seamless as possible with every aspect of our complex trip. All arrangements were well coordinated and taken care of.  All details small or large were well executed. We appreciated GetDucks.com's attention to detail and their knowledge of hunting ducks in any region or location in the world.
