Geese
The hunt
Dark in the morning our guides will build a blind or dig individual pits for each hunter or pair and set the decoys. After a warm breakfast, we head to the field (15 to 45 min) and the birds will start flying before daylight, from the roost to the feeding fields. The expected bag is 20 to 30 birds each hunter.
Important: We shoot geese ONLY in the mornings, as in the afternoon the geese fly so late that it is too dark to shoot.
After a gourmet lunch at the lodge, we will hunt partridges over pointing dogs, or doves and pigeons depending on the availability and hunters desire.
Species
Magellan
Spotted and blue pigeon
Eared dove
