Los Gauchos Uruguay Perdiz Hunting Lodges
Uruguay perdiz hunting is an Upland hunt that one can combine with the dove hunting or duck hunting in Uruguay. The northwest part of Uruguay offers some of the best Perdiz hunting in the world. Trained bird dogs (setters) and guides that work with the dogs and know the characteristics of the active Perdiz make this hunt a challenge, but a rewarding experience for wing shooters of all levels. Perdiz season is limited to 3 months - May, June and July. The hunting does require some walking but the grass and terrain is easy to walk and the scenery of the Uruguay farmlands is a great background while taking an afternoon to Perdiz hunt in Uruguay.
Perdiz Hunting and Dove Hunting - Same Lodge(s) in Uruguay
The best Perdiz hunting in South America can be found in Uruguay. Although the Tinamou (another name for Perdiz), can be found in grassy pastures throughout the nation, they are most highly concentrated in the western portion of the country. It is there where Uruguay wingshooting for the elusive Perdiz is most famous and productive. 7 and 8 shot easily bring down the Perdiz, and any caliber of shotgun can get the job done. Our recommendation is to bring whichever shotgun you will be comfortable carrying for two hours, because the limit of ten birds will be easily reached by that point.
The only thing you will enjoy more than upland bird hunting in Uruguay is having them for dinner. The delicious white meat tastes very similar to quail, and will be prepared each evening as an appetizer, or an entrée.
The Perdiz hunting season in Uruguay begins in May and ends July 31st. You will be wise to make your reservations with your Uruguay bird hunting lodge early if you wish to hunt Perdiz, because these are the first dates to sell out, since it is the only hunting season in Uruguay that could be considered "brief"-90 days all told.
