Game D ’ water Formosa: teals, ducks and pato réal the largest duck of the world

This year still will be L ’ occasion for the amateurs D ’ authenticity and of strange huntings to come to discover our zone of Fort Soledad, small village lost of the north of the Province of Formosa at the edge of the largest marsh of the world 350 km length on 10 km broad.
This marsh where alternates a vegetation of palm plantations and D ’ dead trees is regularly flooded during February to June to empty itself slowly during L ’ winter, there C ’ is then L ’ occasion for thousands D ’ species D ’ birds waders and anatidés to come to find refuge and foods. The ducks flow there by type D ’ species according to the height of the level D ’ water remaining, we find there among them L ’ species little known of the hunters to knowing the pato réal, called locally pato picasso, the largest duck of the world (3 to 7 kg) for the largest subjects. This duck lives primarily in forest, connected on the dead trees which are for them making safe dormitories, or with the summit of the palm trees when it S ’ acts to nest, walls surprising very far from the behavior of our European ducks. This last lays out, in addition to its webbed legs, three large claws at their ends allowing him S ’ literally to hang to the trees and D ’ to land there without difficulty. C ’ is a fantastic spectacle for a sauvaginier to see coming to last through the palm trees this enormous duck by group of 3 to 10. Sought them not above the trees, they fly below and zigzag literally between the latter.
We thus offer to you at the beginning of our country cottage, built on pile and the marsh, to come to discover this environment and this extraordinary hunting. Your displacements are done in the dugout, with horse or feet according to the zones which we must reach.
Of summary comfort, our country cottage S ’ addresses to experienced sauvaginiers who will have two double rooms, a room with eat-kitchen and a corner shower. This extension that we propose to you hard from three to five days following your choice and cannot be made qu ’ with a minimum of two people and a maximum of four. The ideal period for the large ducks Pato Réal is prone to the level D ’ water but is naturally of July 1 to September 30. We meet some before this date but in less quantity. On the other hand, the teals, dendrocygnes or netta peposaca are there present at the beginning of the month D ’ April.
These three days of hunting on this marsh can be followed by three days of hunting for the pigeons (torcaza), species present in very large quantities in the area at less than 250 km. A compound young partridges (martinetta) can also be considered.

Beaten hares in Patagonie

This year, we propose to you as of the month D ’ April, to drive out the large capuchins of Patagonie. They there are really in impressive quantity and are driven out with débotté or in beaten. A hunter can reasonably hope to take in its morning between 20 and 30 parts so much it is abundant. We propose some three days stays being able to make an ideal continuation with the duck hunting of our zones of north. This one can also make following our program stag which proceeds in this same area. The tariff is calculated on request according to the number of hunters and the selected period.

Big games: Colorado stag, stag axis, ibex, puma, wild boar and antelope cervicapre

L ’ Argentine, more known for the success of its huntings for small games, S ’ proves to be also an excellent destination of hunting for big games. Qu ’ it is practised with L ’ approach, with L ’ mounting or to horse, the hunting of big game in Argentina generally occurs in fabulous decorations and considerable vastnesses. Certain species are endemic, D ’ others were imported several centuries ago. The gauges with tended trajectory usually used are the 7 RM, 300 WM, 300 or 30-378 Weatherby and 8x68 S. glasses of good invoice are preferable with a twilight good indicator.
The hunting of L ’ antelope cervicapre and the stag axis is organized on many properties which we locate each year to know the trophies of them, these zones go from the north of Buenos Aires to L ’ extreme north of the country where some beautiful specimens reside. These extensions are organized on request at the beginning of Huerta and can S ’ register in a complement of hunting for small games. Hunting is practised with L ’ approach with a guide. The hours of beginning and end-of-day are recommended for this type of hunting. This very savage animal is often drawn at long distances (150 to 200 m, even more).
The stag axis also drives out itself with L ’ paddle and the twilight. Its mottled dress confuses it rather well in nature. L ’ animal (100 kg) is less heavy than our European stag. The best period is from March at the end of April. The fall of wood starts in June.

Puma and guazuncho

The puma, of the same family that the North-American couguar, regularly comes to prevail in the herds of sheep and goats of our friends stockbreeders of the Pampas of the south of L ’ Argentine but also of the large forests of north in the province of Formosa. Its hunting requires a meticulous preparation and location, the puma is an extremely intelligent animal and very being wary, frequently moving the night and on long distances.
Our hunting thus proceeds once L ’ animal located. The foot is made as well as for our stags or wild boars, then a attack in rule of the sector is organized with dogs and pickups in order to locate it. Once the launched dogs, the puma inevitably or almost, is not long a such large cat in taking refuge with most D ’ a tree in order to put itself out of reach hooks of these dogs. Often small or malingres, the dogs could not make him any evil so much it is naturally much more extremely but nature is thus made … You will thus follow most of the time this hunting to horse in biotopes diversified enough such as small shrubby forests but also of the wet palm plantations with large clearings where goats, cows repaissent themselves and gazunchos (local roe-deer). All that forms food and the ideal biotope for the puma. Your final approach is thus done with feet quickly as of the voice of the dogs heard or guided by one of our trackers come to warn you if necessary. Your shooting will be as for the shooting D ’ a African leopard, namely about L ’ tree, forty away meters, or less if the forest is dense. There exists in our areas of the north of the province of Formosa, two sizes distinct from puma: L ’ an energy jusqu ’ with 55 kg for largest, and L ’ other which can exceed 90 kg.
The guazuncho, D ’ a score of kilos and a little smaller than our European gibe, the guazuncho is driven out primarily with L ’ paddle and the twilight. He lives in the same biotope as the puma, namely of the shrubby zones intersected with herbagées clearings. The zones of hunting are also in the province of Formosa well qu ’ it is also present in the Santa-Fe Province where we have our hacienda.

Wild boars

The wild boar with white lips or peccary labiado and the wild boar with collar or peccary of collar.
Both are driven out with L ’ approach or L ’ mounting the morning and the evening at the edge of the points D ’ water. We lay out for that D ’ a single territory. A forest of more than one hundred kilometers bordering a long 350 km and broad marsh 10 km. C ’ is in fact a wallow immense and permanent where these many suidés arrives by bands of fifty for certain companies. We also organize this very particular hunting in the Province of Formosa.
The carpincho or will capibara is a very large pig-turkey being able to reach 70 kg, nourishing the night exclusively large grasses and snap rings. It is driven out primarily in the marshes flooded in the canoe provided D ’ a gauge 7 X 64 or equivalent, or of bullet. It N ’ is authorized with the shooting that in the Province of Formosa where we organize his hunting.

Colorado stag

The Colorado stag is in fact L ’ equivalent of our stag Elaphe European. It S ’ proves that L ’ Argentine is particularly favourable with the development of superb trophies which can oscillate in the section from the 6 to 10 kg. Hunting proceeds with feet for the zones of steppes or with horse lorsqu ’ it S ’ acts of L ’ to approach in the immense forests bordering the Andes cordillera, imposing decorations S ’ it is in which we propose to you to come to drive out this stag says redhead lasting his period of slab being located at March.
The hunting of steppe continues jusqu ’ at the end of May. This biotope is easier to locate the animals when the slab is finished. Do not mislead you there, the stags are very present and N ’ by no means need the forests as we could L ’ imagine. They find their food and covers in an apparently desert steppe but makes some very rich, and lay out of small called undulating basins magins. Cover is made very tall grasses which are appropriate to them perfectly.
L ’ one of the best areas of hunting is without question San Carlos de Bariloche in the Province of Neuquen. The famous reserve D ’ fresh water close of the Angostura Villa located at 3 a.m. D ’ plane in the south of Buenos Aires. Hunting asks for a physical minimum of condition as any hunting of mountain, of type Scotland or Carpates.
We also offer to you possibiitée to drive out in our news of the Pampa the following species: Colorado stag, Stag Axis, Puma, Buffalo, Wild boar (large transport aircrafts), Cervicapre Antelope (in quantitée very abundant), Goat with 4 horns, Deer
