re: Argentina Combo Hunt

Hunted Estancia La Criolla a few years ago for duck, dove and perdiz. Great duck hunting, limits on perdiz, and the dove hunting was fantastic, but not the absurdity that is Cordoba (we're talking about the difference between killing 1K a day vs. 2K or 3k per day so really splitting hairs at that point.)

Also, on the Perdiz hunts at La Criolla, we kicked up 5 or 6 of the biggest rabbits you've ever seen, somewhere between the size of a cocker spaniel and a GSP. The bird boys were going nuts over them and very graciously asked if they could keep them. Sure bud, what the hell am I going to do with them? Saw them skinning them out after the hunt to sell the hides, guess you can get a few bucks out of them.

Only other word of advice is don't try to be helpful! After finishing up a limit of ducks, the guide said he was walking back to get the truck. I offered to pick up the birds scattered around the decoys. He said "no, senor, you wait here. No go out there." It was damn cold and I wanted to stretch my legs so I went anyway. Walked towards where the pasture met the pond and before I knew it, I was completely underwater up to my neck. I guess I stepped on flotsam or some other thick floating vegetation that looked just like the grass in the pasture. The guide came back scared to death and had to help pull me out. He got a nice tip that day! Stupid Americans.
