The hunting of ducks is carried out along the Paraná River, in the province of Corrientes; in the delta. The place is visited by birds lovers from all around the world since lagoons are an authentic paradise. One important item for the hunters is to enter the hunting positions at night since any strange movement will make the ducks move away from the place. In this region, large concentrations of species of ducks are produced. Some of them are: crestón, siriri Colorado, siriri pampa, siriri correntino, alita azul, franciscano, barcino, maicero, Colorado, gargantilla, collar, cuchara, martillo and cabeza negra, apart from another species. It is habitual to hunt between 5 and 8 different species during the hunting. The open season extends from April to August. Here we propose some items for hunters novices.
1- It is important for the hunters to have a good camouflage.
2- Remember that ducks always arrive land against the wind; this is the best moment to perform the shot.
3- Decoys are efficient tools to attract ducks. A decoy of Siriríes is made with a pair of bottoms of cartridge. Plastics and percussion caps are retired and are pasted one into the other. When someone whistles through the hole, a sound similar to the duck's is produced
4- If the sown fields are flooded and with not enough vegetation where you can hide from ducks, you will need to improvise a kind of station made of branches or with a camouflaged piece of cloth.
5- Ducks fly at high speed (some species reach 40 km/h or more) so the hunter needs to accelerate the shot that will depend on the distance and height that the duck is covering.
6- As regards supplying, we prefer fine supplying (6-7) although some people succeed using thick supplying. You need to have in mind that a professional guide will be ready to help you in case you need help or some guidance.
