Life’s Short GetDucks

Argentina duck species diversity is rich, to include myriad species not hunted or seen elsewhere. Of the 3 world wigeon species and 4 world shoveler species, for example, one each can only be found in Argentina. Ramsey Russell is a recognized authority on worldwide waterfowl, their habitats and behavior, especially as pertaining to hunting situations. In this Waterfowl of the World video, he discusses the most common duck species hunted, plus an interesting hybrid and an uncommon color-variant recently taken while duck hunting Argentina.

The American Wild West conjures nostalgic images of dusty cowboys, stoic Native Americans, mule drawn covered wagons, herds of bison stretching to the horizon. But in the long shadow of historic Fort Laramie, near the exact location where the First Sioux War began, the North Platte River slithers like a snake through remnant prairie and grain agriculture on its long descent to the Gulf of Mexico. Hunting for mallards and Canada geese can be epic. In this installment of Life’s Short GetDucks, Ramsey Russell and company join USHuntList affiliate, Wyobraska Waterfowl, to further explore this too often overlooked American waterfowl hunting paradise.

Life’s Short GetDucks worldwide odyssey continues with Ramsey Russell returning to his serious roots in Argentina duck hunting. Las Flores literally translates to “The Flowers.” This legendary destination was named due to the sheer abundance of decoying rosy-bills, the true rockstars of the pampas. But in a country full of slick operators that promise the moon to sell packages to unknowing American hunters, this is the story of a passionate hunter-outfitter that exceeds client expectations every morning without compromise, without fail, and of the genuine friendship that has since developed among these two duck hunters. #getducks #lifeshortgetducks #Itsduckseasonsomewhere #bossmen #unmuzzled #argentinaduckhunting #ramseyrussell #realduckhunting #ramseyrussellgetducks #waterfowl #hunt #waterfowloftheworld #waterfowlconservation #huntingisconservation #duck #pochard #rosybilledpochard

Sonora Mexico duck hunting is an exciting, action-packed hunt – y’all have seen the Life’s Short GetDucks Obregon Mexico duck hunting short film by now hopefully – but it’s also an excellent destination to check beautiful species off bucket lists. Species-wise, Mexico duck hunting is must-do, bucket-list duck hunting. Practically all Central and Pacific flyway species overwinter in the region and their breeding plumage is absolutely immaculate. We and our USDA-approved affiliate, Kanati Elite Taxidermy will walk you through the simple steps. Contact Ramsey Russell @ramseyrussellgetducks to discuss Sonora Mexico duck hunts or other destinations.  #lifesshortgetducks #getducks #itsduckseasonsomewhere #mexicoduckhunting #waterfowloftheworld #ramseyrussell #ramseyrussellgetducks #realduckhunting #waterfowloftheworld

There are generally two kinds of Argentina duck hunters: those that have been there and those that want to go. The upcoming Life’s Short GetDucks episode, “The Flowers,” takes place at our poster-boy, real duck hunter’s Argentina duck hunt, a place we refer to as Las Flores, which literally translates to “the flowers.” It was so named because nobody but nobody produces decoying rosy-billed pochards like this outfitter. Sure, you’ll take all of the usual species, but decoying rosy-bills will steal your duck hunting heart. #getducks #lifesshortgetducks #itsduckseasonsomewhere #argentinaduckhunting #rosybilledpochard #duckhunting #ramseyrussellgetducks #bossmen #realduckhunting #huntingtravel @ramseyrussellgetducks

Ramsey Russell’s worldwide waterfowl odyssey continues in Obregon, Mexico, examining the reasons that many hunters continue to choose this legendary Mexico duck hunt destination. Nestled against the Sea of Cortez, this hunting area encompasses a vast, fertile agricultural valley surrounded by otherwise desert landscape. A couple important waterfowl species are endemic to the region, but most Central and Pacific flyway duck species overwinter in this waterfowling oasis.

That little marshmallow-colored pup became one of the best hunting companions ever hoped for, and certainly the most well-traveled. What yellow duck dog Coop’ lacked in hunt test title initials (no fault of hers but we had a hectic hunting schedule), she made up for with real-world smarts, a fail-proof nose and the fierce tenacity to root cripples from the densest thickets. A real band magnet, too. In crowded airports, pet-friendly hotels and hunting lodges throughout 4 US flyways, 4 Canadian provinces, 4 countries worldwide, her politely quiet demeanor earned affections from countless strangers, a place beneath my feet on long flights, her share of in-flight meals, sometimes even a spot on the bed. She’d earned it. We shared many great times for weeks on end in Mexico each year. She’s still got plenty of hunts left in her yet, don’t worry, but she’ll be in full-blown retirement, sunning in her favorite spot in the back yard, before we’ll ever have the chance to hunt South of the Border again. And that’s ok.

Ramsey Russell’s worldwide waterfowling odyssey continues in one of the most remote wetland paradises in Argentina. It’s about more than just chasing ducks in one of those spectacularly wild environments that we dream of hunting. It’s a tale of parallel lives, converging paths, and genuine friendships forged in true duck hunting.
