Uruguay

This tiny little South American nation located just across the river from Argentina is fast becoming one of the most popular international wingshooting venues in the world--not just south of the equator.

Outfitters

Los Gauchos is the predominant outfitter in Uruguay for all species of birds. No matter what your quarry, doves, pigeons, doves or even golden dorado fishing, Los Gauchos has a venue for you that will meet or exceed your expectations, and fall within the confines of your budget.

Choosing among uruguay bird hunting outfitters can be difficult, because there are a few good ones, and a few really bad ones--including a pair of twin brothers that are well known con artists.

Enter durability. Durability refers to the amount of cash and infrastructure that an outfitter has to to survive bad time, and to fix things that invariably go wrong during any given week in the season.

Bird Hunting Outfitters in Uruguay

Avoid the "Johnny one trucks" of the country. These are outfitters that rent trucks specifically for your trip, and don't own any of their own. They have to scramble to buy shells for your group after they collect your final deposit because they don"t have any money in savings to do so before your group arrives in Uruguay.

So how do one identify them?

Easy. They do not use reputable agencies in the USA to sell their product. They have a "guy" who hawks their services in exchange for free trips, knowing full well that your trip will be a scam job.

These types are under thirty years old, and very inexperienced. Most are former dog handlers and guides of the reputable outfitters that have put them out to pasture for one reason or another.

Don't buy their "pigeon" English and their lines of bull.

They will be fast-talkers full of promises and reasons why you should book their seriously overpriced services. Don't fall for it!

They don't scout. They don't bait. Why? They don't have the time or money to do so because they are waiting tables in a restaurant, or goofing off. Your money goes to their pocket, and the rest is left to chance.

So, one might ask...who are the reputable ones in Uruguay?
