jacana lodge
Duck hunting at the epicenter of Argentine waterfowling
Jacana Lodge opened in 2005 and remains the #1 duck hunting lodge in South America. Their duck program draws on the hundreds of years of combined experience the staff brings to the table in guiding, outfitting, and preparing bird hunting programs for discriminating hunting guests.
Duck hunting here features comfortable and well camouflaged dry blinds, quality species-specific decoys, and all the boats, vehicles, and trucks to get you to where the ducks are each day.
Luxurious living, à la carte menu, massages service, and open bar with imported spirits and the best Argentine wines.
No detail is left to chance, and every season they work to improve on perfection. As a duck hunter, this lodge should be at the top of your Bucket List!
With more than 100 blinds, well distributed throughout a huge hunting area, you will be in the heart of South American Duck Hunting, for an absolute experience of a lifetime.
THE HUNTING
At Jacana Lodge the focus of the program is to provide an exceptional, traditional, duck hunting experience. You will be hunting morning and afternoon sessions, in a variety of locations, throughout your visit.
Blinds are well placed and scouted, providing the best possible opportunities at a number of South American duck species, including Yellow-billed Pintail, Speckled Teal, White-faced Whistling Duck, and the sought after Rosy- billed Pochard, to name a few.
Depending upon location, hunters will be placed in double dry blind, or large dry, sunken “buckets” which are basically an individual pit blind, or on platform-pallet blinds.
You will hunt well maintained, species-specific, decoy sets and motion decoys. Your guide will be nearby, to assist with bird identification, calling and anything else you may need throughout your hunt.
Having been established for twenty seasons, Jacana Lodge has acquired exclusive rights on nearly all of the hunting grounds that surround the lodge, for miles in each direction. This has allowed for years of thoughtful management and stewardship of the water impoundments, and hunting resources, giving Jacana the ability to carefully manage the duck hunting, ensuring the best possible experience for you, the hunter.
