What’s Next? Argentina Sounds Nice.

By: Mark Peterson

Despite the COVID lockdown, I completed the North America Waterfowl Slam of 43 species in a single season during the winter of 2021. It was a brutal six months! I spent 110 days in the field, with thoughts of a successful slam often in doubt. Ultimately, I finished the North America Waterfowl Slam by taking a king eider in Greenland.

My next challenge? To complete the South America Waterfowl Slam in a single season. With COVID restrictions relaxed, 20 South American waterfowl species identified, and Argentina and Peru checked off as the prime locations to hunt these species, let’s kick off another amazing journey with the South America Single-Season Waterfowl Slam!
