Got a group together and decided to give Argentina a try. Me, gaudi, dutchhunter from The Netherlands and 2 other friend headed souf last week. We booked through get ducks.com and the trip far exceeded my expectations. We stayed at some uber rich Italian people's polo farm that they use 3 months/year. First afternoon we set up on tiny waterholes-1/4 acre tiny that had zero birds on them and at 5 pm the birds poured in. His afternoon limits are 15 ducks/man and Dutch and I shot 30/31 that came in. Mostly speckeled teal and yellow bill pintails, couple ring teal, and one chiloe wigeon.

For years I used to really wanted to do an Argentina trip, then last few years not so interested any more. With those pictures I think I'm interested again. Nice pics, looks like a great time.

Awesome, definitely some beautiful specimens for the collector. Has always been on my bucket list. Is goose hunting allowed yet or still closed? Were you able to get birds back home?

Damn, that sucks. I wonder what the likelihood is of any of that ever changing.

Thanks for sharing the great pics. Brings back memories for me of 10 years ago on similar trip there.

No geese and no export of birds. They don't have a taxidermist that can do the dipping and bird work for you to transport? I have a buddy that had the same thing happen in Mexico but had it resolved with a couple of weeks!

That would be a deal killer for me. It was for me for years but honestly it was nice to go on a trip and not be worried about processing amd importing birds. The issue is that the argentine gubment has banned the export of birds. Therefore traveling into the U.S. With a banned wildlife species is a Lacey act violation and can carry some rediculous consequences. Also- I've found a couple breeders here that can get me any of those species for $100-$250. About the same price as shipping, importing, and usda processing. I will probably buy a ring teal and a silver just to have something a little different. I've still got about 25 U.S. Birds to do before I get to those anyway.

I would feel the same way if I went on a regular basis like you. If I ever did a trip like that, I would probably only do it once anyway, but that first trip I would want to bring home 6 birds or so to mount, that would be a big reason for going. I would love to have some of those birds on my wall, but I would want them to be birds I shot, all my mounts have a story that goes with them. That's just me tho.

Same for me too, out of the 15 on the wall I can tell you how each one was shot, where I was, etc.. I don't have the money to go just to shoot ducks. Species collection is pretty much the main reason for me to go on any out of state or country trip. Awesome trip though brazos

Not sure if they do the same with duck as they do with dove there.
My buddy went on a dove hunt there, they cooked up a lot of the birds, and the rest went to feed the needy in the area, or so they were told.
I would have a hard time leaving without some birds for sure.
