Waterfowl & Upland
Checklist |
What to bring on your waterfowl & upland hunt: |
- 12 or 20 gauge shotgun for waterfowl, or 16 or 28 gauge shotgun (Perdiz only) Note: Please check with us before bringing other than 12 gauge shotguns to ensure shell availability.
- Travel gun case (stainless steel or heavy duty fiberglass, absolutely no plastic cases)
- Earplugs
- We have cleaning rods & patches; but please bring oil, choke tubes, tools, and accessories
- Bring modified or imp. chokes (waterfowl) and improved cylinder (Perdiz)
- Upland hunting boots (preferably waterproof, sometimes there is standing water)
- Upland hunting vest and/or shell pouch.
- Be prepared for temperature changes: we recommend both wool and cotton socks
- Thermal underwear: Lightweight only if you are hunting between May 1st and June 15th
- Thermal underwear: Medium weight if you are hunting between June 15th and July 10th
- Thermal underwear: Heavy to polar weight if you are hunting between July 15th and Aug 15th
- Waterproof waterfowl parka (Gore Tex, or equivalent) waterproof bib, or coveralls.
- Chest waders, NO HIP BOOTS!, for duck hunting. We recommend lightweight nylon fly fishing waders. They are cooler much easier to transport. (May – July)
- Heavy weight neoprene chest waders (July – September)
- The weather during the whole season can be very volatile, so be prepared by bringing: wool sweaters, long sleeve cotton shirts, and polar fleece zip-up tops. Layering is important. Depending on the time of year it can be 32F and windy in the morning, then end up in the high 50’s, or 40F in the mid-morning, followed by 60F and calm winds by the afternoon
- Camo face masks: both wool, and lightweight depending on temps. Mandatory for goose hunting.
- Camo gloves, both lightweight and heavy weight
- Light weight rain suit or poncho, and waterproof hat for Perdiz hunting. You won’t need it unless you don’t bring it. ?
- Shooting glasses, sunglasses, sunscreen (water reflection), and Chap Stick
- Comfortable clothes for relaxing around the lodge. Jeans, tennis shoes, baseball caps, etc.
- All electricity is 220 in Argentina & Uruguay (European style) we have converters for your 110 stuff like: laptop computers, digital cameras, Palm devices, electric razors, etc. But the hotels in Buenos Aires and the airports do not.
- Shaving kit: Mylanta, Advil (or preferred painkiller), Neosporin, Band-Aids, vitamins, prescription medications, etc.
- Insect repellant. Be sure to bring the pump spray type, the TSA confiscates aerosols these days. Deep Woods OFF! recommended.
- A small flashlight of
some kind is a must! (the kind that attach to
your hat or hand around your neck are great) You
will need these because we will be arriving on
time to all shooting areas—meaning well before
daylight.
