Ed,

I’d love to be of more help, but I don’t have the answers to these questions. Would love any insight that people have into freelancing / living in Argentina and hunting ducks on your own.

I’m sure the guided duck hunting in Argentina is great, but what if a guy wanted to move down there and hunt by himself? Where would you want to live for the best all-around bird hunting? Could I reach good day hunts from BA? What kind of hassles are there for gun registration? Permission to hunt? What sort of hassles are there in getting around in the countryside? Need a car? What does that entail? Are local bistros willing to cook your birds while you sip their wine/coffee and watch the girls promenade? That sort of thing. You understand: I’m just looking for a retirement where I can have great hunting closeby and live a somewhat urban life without freezing to death or paying a fortune to go somewhere else for a once-in-a-while hunt. I’m the kind who wants to hunt every day, one or two birds for dinner. I don’t want to shoot them all! Eventually, I’m going down there to check it all out, but it would be nice to have some sort of a preliminary plan. Any advice you who have seen it all can give me will be much appreciated!

Hotshot,

4 times! That is great work. Thanks for the addition to my blog. Would love to hear if you have any special regions you target (like why the Pila area this time or perhaps you have gone their every time) as well as any other tips you have. Please check back after your upcoming trip. I’d love to hear how it went!

Thanks!

I’ve been to Argentina (4) times, twice for doves and twice for ducks. I’ve also been to Mazatlan on two occasions. Save your money and do a (5) day Argentina duck hunt. Awesome!! Much more lberal limits in Argentina. Lots of birds and great accomodations, food, drinks and laughs. My shooting buddy and I are leaving on 7/5 to hunt the Pila area.
