No waders or water, just pure shooting! This Uruguayan destination is home to some of the best decoyed pigeon shooting in the southern hemisphere and the lodge overlooks one of the largest pigeon roosts in Uruguay. The hunts start early while the sun rises and lasts until late morning. Shoots are performed from dry comfortable blinds that are strategically placed on the edge of sunflower or other grain fields that are with in close proximity to the lodge. Decoys are placed and coffee is poured as the action begins. On this hunt, the afternoons are spent shooting the outrageous dove population that also calls this place home. You may also do some upland hunting in the form of Perdize over pointing dogs if you would like. This is a very game rich area and the abundance of game will amaze you!

This destination takes this sport very seriously! In an area of Southern Alberta where Coyotes are so abundant they may be considered the plague, our outfitter is really the only one that hunts them correctly or at all! With very little pressure, tremendous habitat and an abundant game population, this hunt is second to none. We see an average of 25-40 + coyotes per day. Our best six-day hunt, we killed 46 prime coyotes "on film" with two shooters at each set. This is a great way to extend your hunting season and is one of the most action packed hunting experiences we have today.

This program has proven to be beneficial for everyone involved. The retailer now has a trust worthy product in the form of adventure travel and The Sporting Traveler continues to become readily available to the public. This is a new media for The Sporting Traveler because the company was built on the wonderful referrals of past clients. Even though this new program increases the number of times the phone rings in a day, we still stand strong in our interest in finding the best hard hunting clients we can. We have added 10 new retailers in Minnesota and look to continue to expand. We will be adding a link to our website "support our supporters" where you will have direct access to all the retail environment we are in. These places can be very helpful to the passionate hunter as they have been hand selected by The Sporting Traveler for their customer service and quality of work and professionalism. Stores tend to be custom archery shops, custom gun shops and extremely talented taxidermists. We invite you to continue to check back for the link to these great places!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-3611320886790517895?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3611320886790517895?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3611320886790517895?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/12/new-retail-progam.html" title="Dec. 20 New Retail progam" /><author><name>Matt Gindorff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06308431365320264834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SVp5m4WEtiI/AAAAAAAAA0g/KpIZceM6nK8/s72-c/Big+game+poster.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMBSH45fSp7ImA9WxVTFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-3215752274302093577</id><published>2008-12-29T17:02:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T17:14:19.025-06:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-12-29T17:14:19.025-06:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="north american wing shooting" /><title>Kansas Spring Turkey</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SVlYAZtl6gI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/kQ-KkWByd2M/s1600-h/002_2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285352401621346818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 144px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SVlYAZtl6gI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/kQ-KkWByd2M/s200/002_2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The rolling hills of Southeast Kansas are home to some of the best gobbler hunting in the country.

First morning of the first day the buck ran by Royce chasing a doe only to return to 10 yards to chase another buck away did Royce realize that it was a better buck then he thought. Now with good light shining Royce slipped a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;perfectly&lt;/span&gt; placed arrow behind the bucks &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;front&lt;/span&gt; shoulder and he was tagged out!

The Show season is starting soon and normally we don't do very many shows because our business comes from the great past clients that trust in us with their friends and family members and referred them to us. This season is a little different in the fact that we have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;committed&lt;/span&gt; to participating in a couple large shows in the way of giving seminars on international wing shooting. This season you can see The Sporting Traveler in Kansas City at the 55Th Annual Kansas City Sport Show from Jan. 7-9, 2009 and also in Milwaukee, WI at the Milwaukee Journal Sentential Sport Show March 12-16, 2009. We have been asked by a few others and may add them to the list in the coming weeks.

We have been looking for a great late season waterfowl destination for a few years now. We have found it! Allot of the time when visiting wing shooting destinations we find that the lodge is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;relatively&lt;/span&gt; nice, but they really have no idea on how to kill ducks or geese and are stuck to hunting the same way no matter what the weather is. That is not true with this destination. Like so many people manage land for deer, this destination is 100% &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;committed&lt;/span&gt; to moist soil &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;management&lt;/span&gt; for waterfowl. Because the options are so wide open, the hunt can change day to day. The wind may be blowing with high skies on day one and you find yourself &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;crammed&lt;/span&gt; in&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SSVtoBHPtLI/AAAAAAAAAys/8z3ZcGyV9Hg/s1600-h/Haditat+flat+lounge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270739473168053426" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SSVtoBHPtLI/AAAAAAAAAys/8z3ZcGyV9Hg/s200/Haditat+flat+lounge.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;bath tube&lt;/span&gt; size hole in the flooded pin &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;oaks&lt;/span&gt; and on day two cloudy skies with a cold front finds you smashing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;greenheads&lt;/span&gt; over flooded corn. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Personally&lt;/span&gt; I will take the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;bath tube&lt;/span&gt; in the timber any day! It is truly magical to watch 100 Mallard ducks come straight down on you in the timber, it makes it real ruff for them coming out! No matter flooded corn, timber, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;crp&lt;/span&gt; or dry field hunting these guys have it all and know how to get it done better then most. We would recommend this great wing shooting adventure to anyone that has the passion. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Accommodations&lt;/span&gt; at this time are in a small &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;remodeled&lt;/span&gt; home on the edge of a one horse town in north central Missouri and they plan to break ground on a new lodge &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SSVt1JhKDTI/AAAAAAAAAy0/14Ktfa0mjw8/s1600-h/Drink+glasses+at+duck+camp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270739698762517810" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SSVt1JhKDTI/AAAAAAAAAy0/14Ktfa0mjw8/s200/Drink+glasses+at+duck+camp.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;this spring. We are excited to be on the ground floor with these guys and look for greatness in the near future! If you would like to experience world class &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;waterfowling&lt;/span&gt; I would suggest that you reserve your dates for next season. They also have probably one of the best lodge based spring snow goose &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;operations&lt;/span&gt; around.

This destination affords you the opportunity to hunt different species of ducks in varied terrain. From traditional fresh water ponds to the brackish waters of the famed Laguna Madre, this duck hunt is action packed. On any given day, you may drive out to one of the numerous freshwater potholes surrounding the lodge, or walk out the front door and hunt quail. Once in the blinds, you'll see a mixed bag of teal, redheads, bluebills, widgeon, shovelers and of course, the signature pintail. When you can combine great shooting with world-class accommodations and service, you are sure to have a wonderful outdoor experience! &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SPdgc2LW9xI/AAAAAAAAAxc/W7flq2f5YTM/s1600-h/Pintails_Overhead_0101.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257777138674104082" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SPdgc2LW9xI/AAAAAAAAAxc/W7flq2f5YTM/s200/Pintails_Overhead_0101.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dates&lt;/strong&gt;: Oct. 31- Mar. 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: located 50 miles south of Harlingen, Texas (1 hour drive)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trip includes&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Lodging (double occupancy)&lt;br /&gt;Meals (breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner)&lt;br /&gt;Open Bar&lt;br /&gt;Bird boys&lt;br /&gt;Dogs&lt;br /&gt;Ground transportation from the international airport to the lodge and back&lt;br /&gt;Transfers to and from the hunting fields&lt;br /&gt;Hunting license&lt;br /&gt;6 shoots&lt;br /&gt;Afternoon Quail hunting if you would like&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not included&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Single room (is available upon request)&lt;br /&gt;Shells&lt;br /&gt;Gratuities for staff and bird boys&lt;br /&gt;Gun importing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-8063569713510628459?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/8063569713510628459?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/8063569713510628459?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/10/mexico-duck-hunting.html" title="Mexico Duck hunting" /><author><name>Matt Gindorff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06308431365320264834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SPdaf9DGuiI/AAAAAAAAAxU/vXyEMXiYVeY/s72-c/Dead_Pintail_Drakes_0004.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D08CSHs_cSp7ImA9WxRXEUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-8537680050100692031</id><published>2008-10-14T10:36:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T11:51:09.549-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-10-16T11:51:09.549-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="north american wing shooting" /><title>Late season Honkers</title><content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SPTAh7evnVI/AAAAAAAAAw0/K84QTJz3seg/s1600-h/DSC_0114-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257038354183069010" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SPTAh7evnVI/AAAAAAAAAw0/K84QTJz3seg/s200/DSC_0114-2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Situated in the famed Golden Triangle of Missouri, this operation has some of the finest and most well managed properties available.

Throughout these hunts he has watched other hunters take bulls with archery equipment and enjoyed every minute spent in the elk woods. This September Royce's persistence paid off when he finally go the chance to draw back on a rutting bull at 30 yards. He delivered a perfect arrow and the bull was down! We want to say thank you for being a true sportsmen and helping us to understand that getting something isn't how to measure success. Your true passion for the outdoors and hunting with your son, shines bright every time we talk in preperation for these trips.

This operation is well known for consistently putting you under tornadoes of decoying snow geese. Having thousands of acres of private ground around major refuges, in the best areas of Missouri at their disposal allows them to do this.

This 200 thousand acre working ranch is home to some of the finest wing-shooting opportunities found on the planet. Mornings are spent shooting waterfowl in one of the numerous lakes found on the property, while the mid morning hunts are done over pointing dogs for Perdize. This is the only ranch we have found that you have a daily opportunity to harvest all three species of Perdize. After the morning hunts have concluded you will make your way back to the ranch where you will have a wonderful lunch and rest up for the afternoon shoot. Afternoons are spent either shooting decoyed Pigeons are burning up the Dove fields. All aspects of this adventure are fantastic. We usually start the adventure with your arriving flight to Mendoza via Santiago, Chille. Some people like to take a day and see the city and maybe do a vinyard tour, the choice is yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an outstanding adventure and one of the greatest places to start for your first Argentine adventure because you get to see all aspects of wing-shooting that are offered in this great country. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOpuk-aFPjI/AAAAAAAAAt0/oohRp7gcn-E/s1600-h/Argentina+combo+hunt+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254133496787844658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOpuk-aFPjI/AAAAAAAAAt0/oohRp7gcn-E/s200/Argentina+combo+hunt+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dates: June 18- Aug. 18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Includes:&lt;br /&gt;• Lodging (double occupancy)&lt;br /&gt;• Meals (breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner)&lt;br /&gt;• Open Bar&lt;br /&gt;• Bird boys&lt;br /&gt;• Dogs&lt;br /&gt;• Transfers to and from the hunting fields&lt;br /&gt;• Hunting license&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not Included:&lt;br /&gt;• Single room (is available upon request)&lt;br /&gt;• Shells&lt;br /&gt;• Gratuities for staff and bird boys&lt;br /&gt;• Gun rental&lt;br /&gt;• Gun importing&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-3509409169587870397?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3509409169587870397?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3509409169587870397?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/10/argentina-ducks-doves-pigeon-and.html" title="Argentina Ducks, Doves, Pigeon, and Perdize" /><author><name>Matt Gindorff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06308431365320264834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOprXYT91WI/AAAAAAAAAtU/5eoGTtfZBW0/s72-c/KJOS_Cole_Custom_Perdiz.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0ADR3s_fyp7ImA9WxRXEE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-1364254054845935572</id><published>2008-10-06T13:59:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T11:29:36.547-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-10-14T11:29:36.547-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="international wingshooting" /><title>Argentina Waterfowl Hunting</title><content type="html">&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254121496399349154" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOpjqdeghaI/AAAAAAAAAtE/WUXr5irWE_8/s200/Lanyard_Silver+Teal.jpg" border="0" /&gt;This long standing duck destination sits within close proximity of the wonderful city of Buenos Aires. The landscape is rich in water and farm fields which makes for great duck habitat. You will hunt all types of water on this adventure, from large lagoons to small ponds and rivers, which is home to numerous species of waterfowl that inhabit Argentina. This countryside is also rich in Argentine culture and is a must visit for the adventurous waterfowler. Hosted by one of the finest in the waterfowl industry. This northern Minnesota native landed in South America some 10years ago, partnered with a long standing Argentine outfitter and has never left. This outfitter and host combo team is hard to beat when it comes to great hunting and an all around wonderful experience. The estancia is a well manicured English style dwelling that holds no more then 6 shooters at one time. Rooms all have private bath and some with beautiful fireplaces. The great room is home to the bar and a great place to sit and reminisce about the days shoot. This lodge is 100% hunter friendly with a mud room to store waders and wipe down your gun after a days shoot. The best part about this destination is the people that run it and the location close to the airport which eliminated transfer fees and also it close proximity to some of the best duck hunting in the province. This is a winner for the guys that want to experience South American duck hunting at its finest!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254121819510471250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 340px; HEIGHT: 71px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="71" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOpj9RKM-lI/AAAAAAAAAtM/yxM_Ns238xQ/s200/La%2520Plegaria.jpg" width="200" border="0" /&gt;Dates: May 1-July 31&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Includes:&lt;br /&gt;• Lodging (double occupancy)&lt;br /&gt;• Meals (breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner)&lt;br /&gt;• Open Bar&lt;br /&gt;• Bird boys&lt;br /&gt;• Dogs&lt;br /&gt;• Ground transportation from the international airport to the lodge and back&lt;br /&gt;• Transfers to and from the hunting fields&lt;br /&gt;• Hunting license&lt;br /&gt;• 6 shoots&lt;br /&gt;• Afternoon Perdize hunting if you would like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not Included:&lt;br /&gt;• Single room (is available upon request)&lt;br /&gt;• Shells&lt;br /&gt;• Gratuities for staff and bird boys&lt;br /&gt;• Gun rental&lt;br /&gt;• Gun importing&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-1364254054845935572?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/1364254054845935572?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/1364254054845935572?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/10/argentina-waterfowl-hunting.html" title="Argentina Waterfowl Hunting" /><author><name>Matt Gindorff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06308431365320264834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOpjqdeghaI/AAAAAAAAAtE/WUXr5irWE_8/s72-c/Lanyard_Silver+Teal.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMBSHc_eip7ImA9WxRWE0U.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-5730655395424003394</id><published>2008-10-02T17:23:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T11:00:59.942-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-10-30T11:00:59.942-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="News" /><title>New Destinations</title><content type="html">&lt;div&gt;Sporting Traveler Inc. prides itself on the hard work we put into finding the absolute best destinations for our clients.

This is our 6 straight season going to Saskatchewan in search of a whitetail destination that we feel fits what we are looking for. For the first time in Sporting Traveler history we decided to take a group of very brave clients with us on this adventure. Normally we do not do this because when visiting a destination for the first time we are going into the unknown and we do not what to do that to our clients, it is our job to find the destinations so you don’t have to! We wouldn’t be in business if we would have had clients with on the past 5 trips to Sask! To make a long story short, THE SEARCH IS OVER! This destination is exactly what we thought it would be. Hands down this is the most organized, well run, clean, smoke free, game rich whitetail destination I have ever been to in Saskatchewan. We harvested 3 bucks for 4 hunters; I was the only hunter that did not take a deer. I had my chances and either passed or just simply got beat! I saw the deer I was after on day 4 and at 9:00am on day 5 he showed himself and I screwed up and some how must have spooked him.

One thing that they commonly overlook is the tremendous wingshooting that is also available to the discerning sportsmen.  South Africa is home to some extremely untapped wingshooting possibilities and we have done the work to bring this unique opportunity to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Located on the southern tip of Africa, near the small fishing village of Bredasdorp, we have found a wonderful wingshooting experience for the adventurous hunter. This hunt will give you the opportunity to experience African wingshooting at its finest. From driven Guinea fowl to francolin and Grey wing francolin over pointers, this area will also allow for great waterfowl shooting in the evenings for Spurwing and Egyptian geese and some ducks.         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;South Africa is a culturally diverse nation, and offers a wealth of opportunities for the adventurous spirit, including fishing, hiking, garden route trips, Cape Town tours, tours of the wine lands and visits to national parks.  This is a wonderful trip for the adventurous outdoorsman. Space is limited so be sure to book early!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Season&lt;/span&gt;:  April – Sept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Includes&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;• Transportation to and from Airport&lt;br /&gt;• Transportation to and from hunting&lt;br /&gt;• Hunting license&lt;br /&gt;• Guide and dogs&lt;br /&gt;• Accommodations&lt;br /&gt;• Person assistance with gun clearance in Johannesburg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Not included&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;• Shotgun shells $10.00 per box&lt;br /&gt;• Gun importation&lt;br /&gt;• Additional animals&lt;br /&gt;• Personal souvenirs&lt;br /&gt;• Tips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Travel&lt;/span&gt;:  Your point of outfitting will be the town of Port Elizabeth in South Africa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNli3Qh7cmI/AAAAAAAADEI/tTdXFMLEAhs/s1600-h/africa+wing+shooting+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNli3Qh7cmI/AAAAAAAADEI/tTdXFMLEAhs/s200/africa+wing+shooting+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249335542146626146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNli3-_WmsI/AAAAAAAADEQ/nMYmnQUZvc4/s1600-h/Africa+wing+shooting+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNli3-_WmsI/AAAAAAAADEQ/nMYmnQUZvc4/s200/Africa+wing+shooting+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249335554618071746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-7739677696482552441?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/7739677696482552441?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/7739677696482552441?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/09/south-africa-wingshooting.html" title="South Africa Wingshooting" /><author><name>BlackJack</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/R-lBDFvHlDI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/PlM2mELW-7I/S220/newavatar.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlivpeq2ZI/AAAAAAAADEA/avLjtSxHpPY/s72-c/Africa+wingshooting1.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D04ASXg9fCp7ImA9WxRREk0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-3476485460091280929</id><published>2008-09-23T16:37:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T16:39:08.664-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-09-23T16:39:08.664-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="international wingshooting" /><title>Mexico Dove &amp; Quail</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlh6x5DfdI/AAAAAAAADD4/BgElMdWW5jM/s1600-h/Rancho+Caracol+lodge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlh6x5DfdI/AAAAAAAADD4/BgElMdWW5jM/s200/Rancho+Caracol+lodge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249334503129972178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This great wingshooting destination is situated smack-dab in the middle of some of the best quail and dove habitat in Mexico. Located in the state of Tamaulipas sits one of Mexico’s finest. American owned, this destination is five star all the way around. The quail are hunted over pointing dogs in the vast farm lands of the bottom valleys. The doves are situated nearby feeding in agricultural fields.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The days are started by chasing pointing dogs around the countryside for quail; the late afternoons you will find yourself perched over grain fields with anticipation of the evening flight of doves. With the best wild quail hunting in North America matched with fast action dove shooting, this destination is a sure winner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dates&lt;/span&gt;: November - February&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Transportation&lt;/span&gt;: Fly to Harlingen TX.

Two of the estancias are for our larger groups and one of the estancias is built 100% for our family or smaller groups that would like their own housing. All the housing is double occupancy with individual bathroom. Our lodges are built 100% for the hunter and are emasculate in design and service. Great accommodations combined with world class service, food and shooting is the recipe that allows us to be one of the finest wing shooting destinations on the planet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day will start with a good hearty breakfast and a short drive to the shooting area. Upon arrival at the shooting grounds you will be placed with a bird boy that will tend to you every need. The morning shoot will end around 11:00am. From there you will either return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta or be taken to a glorious tent camp with in close proximity to the shooting area where a barbeque of fine meats and wine will be waiting. Your siesta that day will be taken outside on wonderful cots or in hammocks. The afternoon shoot will commence around 2:00pm. The afternoon shoot will conclude around 5:00pm where you will then return to the lodge for drinks and a wonderful dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254146123192824754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 127px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="107" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOp6D7bnc7I/AAAAAAAAAuM/CkwYUpHbNV0/s200/Argentina+dove+lodge.jpg" width="292" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dates: Year Round Includes: Lodging (double occupancy)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Meals (breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Open Bar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bird boys&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transfers to and from the hunting fields&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hunting license &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not included: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Single room (is available upon request) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Land transfers to and from the airport in Cordoba, Argentina &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shells &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gratuities for staff and bird boys &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gun rental&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlgqGcHR2I/AAAAAAAADDo/RL0VFxry1jo/s1600-h/Dove+field.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlgqSAekSI/AAAAAAAADDw/LfdOjYRdnQY/s1600-h/Dove+lodge+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774006514115408561-3204184735506769382?l=www.thesportingtraveler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3204184735506769382?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6774006514115408561/posts/default/3204184735506769382?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thesportingtraveler.com/2008/09/argentina-dove-hunting.html" title="Argentina Dove Hunting" /><author><name>BlackJack</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/R-lBDFvHlDI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/PlM2mELW-7I/S220/newavatar.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7MVTezQu9c/SOp50rmu2fI/AAAAAAAAAuE/jt-z4olapLI/s72-c/CIMG0007.JPG" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkcEQ34-cCp7ImA9WxRREk0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774006514115408561.post-6197953713337684102</id><published>2008-09-23T16:03:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T16:06:42.058-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-09-23T16:06:42.058-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="north american wing shooting" /><title>Canadian Tundra Early Fall Goose</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlaQOekLbI/AAAAAAAADDY/26BuJjXPmIU/s1600-h/geese1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndfdDEFpxDk/SNlaQOekLbI/AAAAAAAADDY/26BuJjXPmIU/s200/geese1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249326075487727026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Imagine having the ability to hunt ducks and geese on their nesting grounds, and being the first to participate in the annual migration. This is the first lodge situated on the west side of Hudson Bay, so the birds have not been hunted when they arrive at the feeding grounds. For goose hunters, we set natural willow, spruce and tamarack blinds positioned near grounds frequented by the geese. Decoys are expertly set; then it’s up to you.
