Uruguay Hunting Lodges
The country of Uruguay is now on the radar as one of the best wingshooting destinations in South America. Although it is similar to its neighbor, Argentina, it is also very different in many respects as well. Uruguay hunting lodges are typically country estancias that have been adapted to host large groups of bird hunters.
Wingshooting in Uruguay is fast becoming just as popular as bird hunting in Argentina, and the lodges are equal in service, sophistication, and style. Guests from all over the world are consistently pleased with the laid back "Old World" ambience that they find when they are guests at the various hunting lodges in Uruguay. Many of our clients who have hunted in Argentina for years, now prefer bird hunting in Uruguay instead, or just can't resist the temptation do both-either in the same trip, or in two different trips spread apart over a year.
Uruguay Duck Hunting Lodges
Duck hunting in Uruguay is now one of the premier waterfowl hunts in South America. In fact, that is really an understatement; Uruguay duck hunts are some of the very best waterfowl hunting trips in world today. Limits are liberal, birds are abundant, and the season is opposite of the duck hunting season in North America and Europe. How many of your friends get to hunt ducks in August? Make them jealous by leaving them in the heat and coming down for some hot barreled Uruguay waterfowl hunting action, or if you are feeling generous, bring them with you. One thing is certain, it will be one of the best duck hunting trips that you will ever take-when it comes to harvesting ducks in large numbers, this country delivers.

Uruguay Hunting Lodges
Uruguay hunting lodges are a variety - not one choice or 2 choices but several all throughout the country of Uruguay.
Some things to consider when planning your Uruguay bird hunt. The accommodations and lodging. Not only the comfort (single occupancy, double occupancy, hot water, private bathrooms...) but also how far from the hunting fields. It is great to stay at a 5 star luxury lodge, but if you have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to reach a bird hunting field, then the 5 star loses it's high character quick.
Uruguay is far away from North America and the bird hunting is spectacular - the hunting experience not only includes the game bird hunting but the introduction to the culture of South America and specifically Uruguay.
A small country with a grand set of characteristics such as excellent cuisine, fine local wines, and an educated, welcoming population that treats each client and guest as a guest in their home.
Truly, you are our guest in our home(s) in Uruguay - so take a look at the various Uruguay lodges and ask questions and review the photos. The Uruguay hunting experience will be the best with the outstanding lodges that Los Gauchos sets apart for clients who travel to Uruguay for hunting and fishing.

Uruguay Pigeon Hunting - Uruguay Hunting Lodge
Uruguay has fantastic pigeon shooting, a challenging and unique wingshooting experience that will put your shotgunning skills to the ultimate test.
A Uruguay pigeon hunt can be added to your bird hunting trip to Uruguay in the form of a combination, or as an extra day of shooting.
Uruguay pigeons fly hard and fast for a few hours in the morning when they leave their roosting areas and fly to the crop fields to feed for the day.
Pigeon hunting in Uruguay is best conducted by setting up between the roost and the feeding zones with a decoy spread consisting of static decoys on ten foot metal stakes, and an array of Mojo doves spread around the edges. The birds cannot resist the sight of other birds feeding in areas closer to the roost than their originally scheduled destination, so they decoy in with passion
Once fired upon, they Spot-wing and Picazuro pigeons in Uruguay will put on an impressive aerobatic display
They will weave, bank, and dart in all directions, keeping The Guns guessing. It takes lighting-fast reflexes to consistently put birds on the ground, and many a Master Class clay shooter have left the blind cursing and second guessing their shooting, because no artificial target can duplicate the challenge of decoyed pigeon shooting.
