Where to hunt Yellow-Billed Duck
The term “yellow-billed duck” can refer to one of the two species: the yellow-billed mallard (Anas undulata) and the yellow-billed pintail (Anas georgica), both known for their striking yellow bills. The yellow-billed duck is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is most commonly hunted in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. These ducks thrive in wetlands, rivers, and dams and are often part of mixed bag hunts alongside other African waterfowl species such as Egyptian geese and spur-winged geese. The yellow-billed pintail, on the other hand, is found in South America, particularly in Argentina, where it inhabits wetlands, lagoons, and flooded fields. Argentina is a premier destination for waterfowl hunting, and the yellow-billed pintail is often hunted alongside rosy-billed pochards, white-faced whistling ducks, and other South American waterfowl.
Preisverteilung
Yellow-billed ducks are usually included along with other species in a waterfowl or bird shooting package. Those may cost just under $1,000 a hunter a day in Argentina, and a bit less in Africa, depending on the outfitter, level of accommodation, and included services.

When to hunt Yellow-Billed Duck?
The yellow-billed duck can be hunted year-round in Africa, with the best conditions during the dry season from May to September, when water sources are limited, and ducks concentrate in wetlands and dams. In Argentina, the yellow-billed pintail hunting season runs during the fall and winter months, typically from April to August, when migratory and resident waterfowl populations are at their peak.
Jagdart
Hunting yellow-billed ducks usually doesn’t differ much from generic “duck hunts”. Decoying from a blind is the most common method, while pass shooting can also be efficient. Yellow-billed pintails often fly in pairs or small flocks, while yellow-billed ducks can be found in larger groups, requiring quick reflexes and precision shooting. In African wetlands, hunters may pursue yellow-billed ducks by walking along riverbanks or dams and flushing birds into flight. This active approach is both challenging and rewarding.
Why hunt Yellow-Billed Duck?
The yellow-billed duck offers a unique waterfowl hunting experience in stunning landscapes. Their vibrant yellow bill and dark plumage, sleek build and striking appearance, add variety to any collection. Beyond their beauty, both species provide excellent table fare, with tender, flavorful meat that complements traditional waterfowl recipes. The hunt itself immerses you in the scenic wetlands of Africa or the rich hunting culture of Argentina, offering an unforgettable adventure. Whether you’re exploring Africa’s diverse ecosystems or the vibrant waterfowl habitat of South America, hunting these remarkable species is a rewarding experience for any hunter.
