"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. Ramsey Russell's 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."

"Our recent duck hunting trip to Argentina was a true 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. "

"My trip to Argentina was well beyond what I expected. I never imagined that I would see or shoot as many ducks as we did. The service was unparalleled, the food was decadent, and the memories will be treasured for a lifetime. Many thanks."

"Thanks for putting together another great Argentina hunt. The last morning, in particular, will always be one of 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. "

"Hot damned I'm glad I did this Argentina duck hunt! Thanks Ramsey!"

"Ramsey, thanks for arranging a great sandhill crane hunt. Everything was perfect, exactly as you described. He had those sandhill cranes figured out and them on the ground right in front of us just 10-15 feet from the blind! Everyone that enjoys decoying birds owes it to themselves to enjoy such a great sandhill crane hunt at least once. Texas sandhill crane hunting will defintely be an annual event for us, without a doubt. Ramsey, you produced the hunt of a lifetime and we look forward to booking more hunts through GetDucks.com."

"If you want to get ducks, this is the only way to go. Ramsey will put you on the ducks and geese. I plan on going on many more waterfowl hunts with GetDucks.com!"

"Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know what a great time I had on our Alberta goose hunt. I should say goose "shoot" since I have never seen so many geese and ducks in my life! Abundant waterfowl every hunt, with great guides and great camaraderie. The facilities were excellent, and I appreciated the hospitality our guides exhibited. They were determined to set us up right and they did. In short, I had a great time and look forward to going again in the future. Knowing your standard for excellence, I 'm looking forward to trying one of your Argentina dove or duck hunts soon. "

"What a great hunt! Of the three times I've hunted South America, this was by far the very best and least expensive. I've told everyone that GetDucks' Uruguay duck hunt is definitely the way to go. Thanks for the great trip; we're already looking forward to next year!"

"I very much enjoyed our Uruguay duck and Argentina dove hunts. Food, lodging, and hunting were exceptional! Most telling to me was the attention you paid to all other aspects of the trip. Travel arrangements, gear lists, and timely communication are but a few of the areas where you have raised the bar compared to others I have booked hunts through.
Great hunting, fabulous food, fine lodging, and no surprises are the hallmarks of a GetDucks.com waterfowl hunt. How you manage to put such trips together at consistently lower prices than your competitors is beyond me.
As I reflect on all the outfitted hunts I have been on over the years, 2 are superior to all others in every way—this South American dove and duck hunt and my Alberta waterfowl hunt 2 years ago. It is no coincident that both were booked through you. Looking forward to the next one!"

I have a must do list of things I'm determined to do in my lifetime. Dove hunting Argentina was on my list along with diving the Great Barrier Reef and fly fishing Alaska.
By chance I read a post on a duck hunting website from a GetDucks.com group that had just been to Uruguay duck hunting with some awesome pictures. They liked it so much they were already planning a trip for the following year (2006). I called Ramsey Russell of GetDucks.com and told him that I was interested. Luckily there was an opening and I already knew one of the hunters.
I didn't know what to expect but boy was I surprised!! I killed more ducks in 4 days than I had the entire preceding season. In just 2 and 1/2 days of dove hunting I probably killed more dove than I had my whole life! Not only was the hunting exceptional but the accommodations and food were excellent. What ended up as a hunt of a lifetime was the wing-shooting adventure of 2 lifetimes. I’m already scheduled again next year. Ramsey pays special attention to the details; right down to matching personalities within a group to make sure everyone gets along. Thanks Ramsey for a trip I'll never forget.
See you next year,

"Thanks for getting me set up on a great Canada goose hunt. This being my first hunt out of country you made sure I had all bases covered. Everything was as good as or better than you described. The Alberta goose and duck hunting was the best it gets. I was a little nervous about booking an outfitted trip from some of the stories I had heard, but after talking with you, knowing your expectations of good and that you hunt with each outfitter beforehand made my decision easier. You let me know about anything that may not be satisfactory up front so I could make a decision based on the entire trip not just the highlights like so many other people try to do. On that very first morning when the geese were pouring in and it was almost time to shoot you told me I was fixing to experience something I’d never forget. It only took 14 minutes to get our group’s limit of honkers that morning, but you were right. I’ll remember that week forever. I am looking forward to my next waterfowl hunt through GetDucks.com, maybe south of the equator. "

"Ramsey is an avid waterfowler who shares his enthusiasm with others as evidenced by planning my Canada waterfowl hunt in Alberta. He personally makes it his top priority to make sure you are going to have the best of everything while on your Canada waterfowl hunt. The hunting in Alberta was superb, as were our accommodations, guides, hosts, and cooks. Thanks to Ramsey we had a great time. I highly recommend that everyone book waterfowl hunts through Ramsey at GetDucks.com because you know you will be hunting with the best! Ramsey wouldn't want anything less for you than for himself!"

"I just received my complimentary GetDucks.com gift book from our Argentina dove hunting trip. Perfect way to cap off another phenomenal 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."

"I was truly impressed with the South American duck hunting experience made possible by Ramsey Russell and GetDucks.com. The staff was professional, knowledgable, and friendly and I would reccommend this trip for duck hunters of any level or experience. The food was outstanding, the volume of shooting was phenomenal, and a wide range of species of ducks was available. I have already booked a hunt with Ramsey for next year."

"I have hunted waterfowl across the US and have previously dealt directly with the outfitters. I thought I was getting the best deal, free of middle man premiums. Boy was I wrong! I asked Ramsey at GetDucks.com about a Uruguay duck hunt. I have never seen anyone get so excited! After our initial conversation I received travel information in an email. Because it was my first trip out of the country I had plenty of questions. He promptly answered them and the ones I’d not even thought to ask. He kept me aware of important travel developments. Ramsey promised a free case of shells which I happily accepted. As the trip date approached I received a phone call from Ramsey informing me of a “change in plans”. I thought here we go. He said no free shells, but how about a free morning’s duck hunt instead!
From the minute we met at the airport until we returned home, he took prompt care of the details quickly, efficiently. I booked a Uruguay waterfowl hunt through GetDucks.com, and received not only a FANTASTIC hunt, but truly that hunt of a lifetime I’d always dreamed. And it cost me less.
My 65-year-old father has always wanted to experience a high-volume Cordoba dove hunting in Argentina. If I can persuade him to join me, we’ll accompany GetDucks.com to Cordoba in 2007. GetDucks.com is the only South American booking agent I’ll ever use for this or any other waterfowl hunt."

Ramsey,
Excellent trip! I don’t believe anything about our Cordoba dove hunt could have been improved except having some more buddies with us! The hunting, food, guides, service, everything was great. David’s wife was our personal hostess while at Pica Zuro…what a treat as well. Killed about 3,000 doves between the 2 of us. We hope to return for some duck hunting next June or July.
