What Are The Best Duck Hunting Trips?

So being that it is the offseason and the only thing that I have going for me at the present in regards to duck hunting is the never ending search for inexpensive duck decoys, I thought I would look forward to next season. Now I have expanded my horizons a bit in terms of the lakes and sloughs I frequent in and around me quite a bit in the past couple of years. It is similar to a duck hunting treasure hunt if you will. That being said, I have not explored a bunch of other states and countries in the pursuit of waterfowl. I wrote a blog a while back detailing Argentina duck hunting, which intrigued me to say the least.
With that said I thought I would open it up to anyone out there who has had the good fortune of traversing the USA or other outlying countries chasing ducks. What were the great places to go that you would recommend others to visit. Is an east coast trip a must for duck hunters? Perhaps finding a way to hunt out of a layout boat in the ocean? Or maybe it is an out of the way spot that no one thinks about like Idaho (if you are from Idaho don't take this as a slap, I have heard the hunting is fabulous in the state but it does not normally get the pub that higher profile states like Arkansas and North Dakota get)? What are you thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Argentina Duck Hunting Video – Couple with

Along the same lines as yesterday's post, here is a great video I found of duck and goose hunting in Argentina. Nothing gets the blood pumping more than ducks and geese feet down over the decoys. The number of geese in close range is pretty impressive in this video, and the duck hunting action is fast and furious. Take a look.

Argentina Duck Hunting – A Whole Different Game in South America

Being that it is pretty cold up here in North America, I thought I would do a little research into warmer climes for duck hunting action. One place that really jumped out at me as a great place to go is Argentina. Now for me, the first place I think of when talking about duck hunting is not Argentina, but after doing a bit of research, perhaps it should be. The bag limits are pretty crazy, 25-40 depending upon where you are hunting in Argentina. Plus the species are mostly different than what we are used to seeing up here in North America, including "Rosy-billed Pochard, White-cheeked and Brown Pintals, Southern Widgeon, Silver, Speckled, Ringed and Cinnamon Teal and a variety of Tree Ducks".

The season is from May until August every year, allowing for a great warm up for the North American season back home if you make a trip down there.

Have you ever hunted in Argentina?
