Patagonia 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). The birds will start flying before daylight, from the roost to the feeding fields. Average bag is 20 to 30 birds per hunter. After lunch and a little nap, the guests can choose to go trout fishing or shoot geese late in the afternoon. This area has very little hunting pressure.
