"I have been hunting ducks, and traveling places to hunt ducks, for just about 30 years now (and started long enough ago that "old style" camo was the only camo). I promise you that I have run across just about every combination of guide, outfitter, travel agent, and indian chief that there has ever been in the hunting travel business. After traveling with GetDucks.com I recommend them to you without reservation. Ramsey Russell is the guy that is meant to be in the hunting travel business. He doesn't get tangled up in frills like some agencies; quality hunting experiences are his paramount so unless it accompanies unequalled wingshooting, you'll have book the wine tour elsewhere.  

GetDucks.com is nuts and bolts, gunpowder and mud. They will get you to your destination, get you home, and make sure everything works the way it's supposed to in both directions. He takes this business personally and is never too busy to unravel occasional travel problems - he'll call you on your cell, he'll do it after 5 pm or on a weekend. He's done it for me and he'll do it for everyone, every time. Ramsey loves duck hunting, and when he is not arranging hunts for his clients, he hunts ducks with close friends and family.  

GetDucks.com is purposefully a family company, a specialty company that does just one thing really, really, well: They deliver quality bird hunting experiences. I respect that.  Isn't that just the kind of outfit you want to do business with in the first place?"

"I've never in my 38 years of hunting have had a better hunting experience, it was truly a once in a lifetime trip. Everything described by Ramsey Russell at GetDucks.com exceeded my high expectations, from the lodge, guides, food, landscape not to mention the 13,000 doves we shot.

It was unbelieveable. There was a bond made in those Argentina mountains, words truly don't do this trip justice. I look forward to taking my 3 sons to this wonderful place for an Argentina dove hunt. There are still memories to be made, and endless doves. Thanks for everything!"

- Phillip Mark Adcock

"The South Dakota pheasant hunt was amazing.  We limited on long-tailed roosters daily, and quickly.  Lodge, staff, and hunting were absolutely wonderful.   Thanks for the direction.  We look forward to doing something next year."

- Sammy Porter

"Having considered Argentina duck hunting my dream trip of a lifetime, I spent considerable time looking at travel options and destinations.  Through research and personal testimony I had very high expectations.

GetDucks.com blew my expectations completely out of the water.  From start to finish, no detail was spared.  The duck hunting was phenomenal.  The accommodations were as nice as I've ever experienced; the chefs, the lodge and field staffs were world-class.

Thanks Ramsey for making my Argentina duck hunt the trip of my lifetime.  It was so good I will soon be making another."

 - Jeff Anastasio

"I very much enjoyed our Uruguay duck and Argentina dove hunts. Food, lodging, and hunting were exceptional! Most telling to me was the attention you paid to all other aspects of the trip. Travel arrangements, gear lists, and timely communication are but a few of the areas where you have raised the bar compared to others I have booked hunts through.

 Great duck hunting, fabulous food, fine lodging, and no surprises are the hallmarks of a GetDucks.com waterfowl hunt. How you manage to put such trips together at consistently lower prices than your competitors is beyond me.

 As I reflect on all the outfitted hunts I have been on over the years, 2 are superior to all others in every way - this Argentina dove hunt combined with Uruguay duck hunt, and the Alberta Canada goose hunt 2 years ago. It is no coincident that both were booked through you. Looking forward to the next one!"

 - Ian Munn

"Beautiful scenery and excellent quality of shotguns.  Ramsey, you went out of your way to ensure we had a great time while duck hunting in Mexico."

- Matt Perkins

"Thanks for putting together another great Argentina duck hunt.  The last morning, in particular, will always be one of fondest wingshooting memories! 

I'd have had a great time even if the ducks had not flown, but we sure put a hurt on them."

- Robert Story

"My Argentina duck hunt exceeded my expectations! I never imagined that I would see or shoot as many ducks as we did.

The service was unparalleled, the food was decadent, and the memories will be treasured for a lifetime. Many thanks."

- Christopher M. Campbell

"Excellent Argentina dove hunt!  I don't believe anything about our Cordoba dove hunt could have been improved except having some more buddies with us!  The hunting, food, guides, service, everything was great.  David's wife was our personal hostess while at Pica Zuro…what a treat as well.  Killed about 3,000 doves between the 2 of us.  We hope to return for some Argentina duck hunting next June or July."

- Dudley D. Wooley

"Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know what a great time was had on our Alberta goose hunt. I should say goose "shoot" since I have never seen so many geese and ducks in my life! Abundant waterfowl every hunt, with great guides and great camaraderie.

The facilities were excellent, and I appreciated the hospitality our guides exhibited. They were determined to set us up right and they did.

In short, I had a great time and look forward to going again in the future. Knowing your standard for excellence, I 'm looking forward to trying one of your Argentina dove or duck hunts soon. "

- Richard C. Roberts III

"Our recent Argentina duck hunting trip was a five-star trip. The duck hunting was excellent. The food was outstanding.

I have never stayed at a lodge that has a top of the line chef and a pastry chef. Please, reserve me a spot for next year.

Hiring a tour guide to show us Buenos Aires was a excellent idea. "

- Bill Beck

"Well, Ramsey, more great duck hunting on a different continent than last time.  We had 6 great days of Manitoba mallard and honker hunting. I enjoyed every part of it.  It certainly lived up to my expectations.  

I've been blessed to hunt many of the prime waterfowling hotspots and this is definitely one of them.   The guide is a true master of decoying birds, an excellent caller and hunter.  I'll be back next season to waterfowl hunt in Canada again.  

Your attention to detail made this hunt trouble free and smooth, from start to finish.  Ramsey Russell's GetDucks.com did it again!"

- Gene Taylor

"If you want to get ducks, this is the only way to go. Ramsey will put you on the ducks and geese. I plan on going on many more waterfowl hunts with GetDucks.com!"

- Joel Williams

"What a great Uruguay duck hunt! Of the three times I've hunted South America, this was by far the very best and least expensive.

I've told everyone that GetDucks' Uruguay duck hunt is definitely the way to go. Thanks for the great trip; we're already looking forward to next year!"

- Sam Pierce

"I have a must do list of things I'm determined to do in my lifetime. Dove hunting Argentina was on my list along with diving the Great Barrier Reef and fly fishing Alaska.

By chance I read a post on a duck hunting website from a GetDucks.com group that had just been to Uruguay duck hunting with some awesome pictures. They liked it so much they were already planning a trip for the following year (2006). I called Ramsey Russell of GetDucks.com and told him that I was interested. Luckily there was an opening and I already knew one of the hunters.

I didn't know what to expect but boy was I surprised!! I killed more ducks in 4 days than I had the entire preceding season. In just 2 and 1/2 days of dove hunting I probably killed more dove than I had my whole life! Not only was the hunting exceptional but the accommodations and food were excellent. What ended up as a hunt of a lifetime was the wing-shooting adventure of 2 lifetimes. I'm already scheduled again next year. Ramsey pays special attention to the details; right down to matching personalities within a group to make sure everyone gets along. Thanks Ramsey for a great trip I'll never forget."

See you next year,

- Chan Blount

"Thanks for getting me set up on a great Canada goose hunt! This being my first hunt out of country you made sure I had all bases covered. Everything was as good as or better than you described. The Alberta Canada goose hunting was the best it gets. I was a little nervous about booking an outfitted trip from some of the stories I had heard, but after talking with you, knowing your expectations of good and that you hunt with each outfitter beforehand made my decision easier.

You let me know about anything that may not be satisfactory up front so I could make a decision based on the entire trip not just the highlights like so many other people try to do. On that very first morning when the geese were pouring in and it was almost time to shoot you told me I was fixing to experience something I'd never forget. It only took 14 minutes to get our group's limit of honkers that morning, but you were right. I'll remember that week forever. I am looking forward to my next waterfowl hunt through GetDucks.com, maybe south of the equator. "

- Bradley Reid

"Ramsey is an avid waterfowler who shares his enthusiasm with others as evidenced by planning my Canada duck hunt in Alberta. He personally makes it his top priority to make sure you are going to have the best of everything while on your Canada waterfowl hunt. The hunting in Alberta was superb, as were our accommodations, guides, hosts, and cooks. Thanks to Ramsey we had a great time. I highly recommend that everyone schedule waterfowl hunts through Ramsey at GetDucks.com because you know you will be hunting with the best! Ramsey wouldn't want anything less for you than for himself!"

- Marc Measells

"I just received my complimentary GetDucks.com gift book from our Argentina dove hunting trip. Perfect way to cap off another phenomenal Argentina dove hunt! Now that we have hunted from Canada to Argentina and all over the United States, I must say, each trip out does the last. Each time I go on a GetDucks.com waterfowl hunt, I notice a common theme with the other hunting parties we bump into in the airports and back home - it seems we always end up paying less and killing more than the other guys. I also believe that we have a better time in general.

I sincerely appreciate that I never have to worry with the details on my GetDucks.com hunts either. Taking care of the details is an attribute that I know all of your busy clients appreciate also. After all, I feel the trip's success is always in the details. I like the idea of just sending you my check and hanging on for the ride. I can't wait to again hunt Alberta geese and ducks this October, but it will be hard to beat my 1000 dove morning in Argentina! Thanks again for the awesome trips."

- Derek Puckett

"I was truly impressed with the Uruguay duck hunting experience made possible by Ramsey Russell and GetDucks.com. The staff was professional, knowledgable, and friendly and I would recommend this trip for duck hunters of any level or experience. The food was outstanding, the volume of shooting was phenomenal, and a wide range of species of ducks was available. I have already booked a hunt with Ramsey for next year."

- Paul Pierce IV

"I have hunted waterfowl across the US and have previously dealt directly with the outfitters. I thought I was getting the best deal, free of middle man premiums. Boy was I wrong! I asked Ramsey at GetDucks.com about a Uruguay duck hunt. I have never seen anyone get so excited! After our initial conversation I received travel information in an email. Because it was my first trip out of the country I had plenty of questions. He promptly answered them and the ones I'd not even thought to ask. He kept me aware of important travel developments. Ramsey promised a free case of shells which I happily accepted. As the trip date approached I received a phone call from Ramsey informing me of a "change in plans". I thought here we go. He said no free shells, but how about a free morning's duck hunt instead!

From the minute we met at the airport until we returned home, he took prompt care of the details quickly, efficiently. I booked a Uruguay waterfowl hunt through GetDucks.com, and received not only a FANTASTIC hunt, but the hunt of a lifetime I'd always dreamed. And it cost me less.

My 65-year-old father has always wanted to experience a high-volume Cordoba dove hunting in Argentina. If I can persuade him to join me, we'll accompany GetDucks.com to Cordoba. GetDucks.com is the only way I'll ever book another duck hunt in Uruguay or anywhere else."

- David Spiars

"I've told everyone, if you haven't ever done it - do it.  Rio Grande Turkey hunting with GetDucks.com was by far one of the best hunts I have ever been on!  Three of us went. One guy killed 3, one guy killed 2, and I doubled on gobblers the last morning. To say it was some of the best turkey hunting of my life does not even do it justice."

~ Johnny McKinnion

"I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the Oklahoma quail hunt.  I have been going on western quail hunts for almost 10 years now, but this bird hunt was special. 

The quality of the quail hunting, the excellent condition of habitat, and the fellowship at the lodge is a rare combination not easily found on commercial hunts these days.  Chasing bobwhites in those sandhill plum thickets is a passion that I have and we hope to do it again soon."

Regards,

Mike Oliver

"We just returned from our first Argentina dove hunting package organized by GetDucks.com and wanted to thank you for all the legwork. I usually have mediocre expectations first time out with any outfitter, but this trip surpassed even my highest possible hopes for an excellent dove hunt.

It was worth every penny and would do it again tomorrow. We're already on board again for next year!"

- Wes Thomas

"We had a great time hunting South Dakota pheasants.  Good hunting, good food and good friends."

- Lem Adams, III 

"Hot damned I'm glad I did this Argentina duck hunt!  Thanks Ramsey!"

- Kenton Moore

"To say we had a great hunt may be an understatement. We were all impressed by the hunt properties, management practices and just the overall Oklahoma turkey hunting experience.  The number of birds was amazing. Compared to numerous other trips, these hunt properties were probably the best managed and hunts better planned as any we have seen. Attention to our buddy Randy was excellent and although we all took a limit of 3 birds, the birds that Randy took were special beyond words. 

We will be happy to provide a very positive recommendation to any and all. Keith and Monty were first rate and they worked hard to provide quality turkey hunting.  And did so making it all feel just like home, like our own "hunting camp" that we had been going to for years.  Can't say enough good about those 2! Many thanks for a great hunt!" 

~ LT Pack

"Ramsey, it was a great pleasure hunting Manitoba Canada snow geese with you. That is the one thing I love about waterfowl hunting, you always meet some great people that you enjoy being around.  I look forward to our next hunt."

- John Mullett, Product Director of Outdoor Accessories, Bushnell Outdoor Products 

"My son and I had a great time hunting ducks and geese in Manitoba.  It was the first of what will be many Canada goose hunts for us. 

Reserve me a spot on the Canada spring snow goose hunt.  I'll be returning to hunt ducks in Canada with more friends next fall, too, deposits are in the mail."

-Sam Vanhook

"Dog power, hard working guides, easy walking, beautiful habitat and most importantly plenty of birds defined our Oklahoma quail hunt.  Thank you for providing the opportunity to experience bird numbers comparable to those described to me by my Grandfather during his hunting years in Mississippi's heyday.  

Whether one is an avid bird hunter, retired due to the lack of opportunity or one wanting to experience for the first time the beauty of the ultimate quail hunting vacation, I confidently recommend your Oklahoma quail hunts."

-Stan Foster 

"Seeing the country, the guide was a pleasure to hunt with, incredible waterfowl and watching Snook (my brother's dog) work so well.  This Canada duck hunt was a trip of many fond memories."

- Pat Mckenna

"Overall a good experience!  I will book through GetDucks.com again and recommend y'all to others."

-Shaun Mayatte 

"Duck hunting in South America was a dream that GetDucks.com made a reality. Your diligent efforts to uncover the world's premier duck hunting destinations paid huge dividends.

What was supposed to be a mere high-volume Uruguay duck hunt also included excellent Uruguay perdiz hunting to fully round out my first trip of a lifetime. I am greatly looking forward to my next duck hunting vacation with GetDucks.com. Thanks again Ramsey!"

-Greg Yurkow

"Thanks again for a great Canada goose hunt.  I really had a blast!  I will always remember those big honkers coming in."

-Samus Vanhook 

"Thank you for a truly remarkable Canada duck hunting experience.  From the ease of booking the trip, to the final pulling of the trigger on the last day, there is nothing I would ask to be changed about the whole package.  I can honesly say it was the most enjoyable duck hunting and goose hunting I can ever remember.  Every day and every setup was completely different, which as a hunter I thought was great.  The constant theme for the week was tons of shooting and endless good times by all.  Thanks again, and please reserve my spot for another great Canada waterfowl hunt next year." 

~ Richard Williams

"Thanks for arranging our great time in Canada.  Our recent Canada duck hunt provided memories to last a lifetime! 

I already have a group for next year's Manitoba duck hunt.  Everyone should book through GetDucks.com."

- Josh Ates

"Last week's goose hunt in Canada for the first time certainly won't be my last.  I plan on making this Canada goose hunt my annual vacation. From the time I left home until the time I returned, no one could asked for better planned or more enjoyable travel."

- Chris Woods

"We had an excellent duck hunt in Canada.  The hunting and lodge atmosphere were perfect, I felt right at home.  Would tell everyone to go ahead and experience it at least once in their lifetime. I can't wait to go again."

- Dave Allen

"Wonderful Canada Goose hunt see you next year!"

 - Marty McKenna

"Our duck hunt in Mazatlan Mexico was the complete vacation package.  The idea of staying in an oceanfront resort while duck hunting is absolutely genius!  While I was out hunting, my wife enjoyed superb resort amenities.  The hotel is super clean, has great beachside rooms, a beautiful infinity pool, stunning views, a great bar with live music and excellent margaritas.  The guide staff is top-notch, organized, knowledgable and put us on lots of birds.  The Mazatlan duck hunt is like taking 2 vacations at once.  Thanks Ramsey and Anita for putting us on to a great trip and hunting experience.  My wife has newfound appreciation for waterfowl hunting vacations!"

~ Nick & Melissa Dabrowski

"I'm about to do the post-hunt survey but wanted to drop you a note saying what a fantastic turkey hunt we had in Oklahoma.   WOW!!!  All four hunters in our group tagged out. 

The turkey hunting was fantastic, despite some serious wind.  The staff and accommodations were excellent and I think I put on a couple of pounds thanks to some great cooking! 

10 out of 10!  For a high percentage Rio hunt, you can't do better than this one!!!"

~ David Young

"The best thing about the Oklahoma turkey hunt was the remote setting. Idyllic rural hunting was just what the doctor ordered. I felt that there wasn't another soul on earth except for me and the wildlife. The abundance of game was truly impressive. I probably saw more turkeys on this hunt than in the last 15 years of hunting here in Mississippi. I'm already looking forward to next year."

~ Adrian Smith

"Our Oklahoma turkey hunt was a huge success! From the time we booked until the day we left, Ramsey Russell was constantly checking and making sure we had everything in order. He is very passionate about what he does and that's why he is the BEST in the business. Thanks again Ramsey!  The weather threw us a curve ball, but thanks to the outfitter and his guides we were still able to hit one out of the park! This is truly a turkey hunter's paradise and I cant wait to go back and experience it again."

~ Josh Criswell

"Oklahoma turkey hunting is one of the best vacations I have been on. The guides are knowledgeable, nice, and funny. They will work hard to put you on your birds.

The turkeys are there in great numbers - hearing 20 to 30 gobblers firing off on the roost is just awesome. This turkey hunt will not disappoint."

~ Joel Williams
