Ready for the Holidays and Hunting?


Hunting meaning dove hunting and planning for another awesome duck hunting season in Uruguay. Los Gauchos Outfitters has been prepping for winter but winter in Uruguay, which starts May 1st and lasts until the end of August.

Now, for those who can't wait....doves are always in the roosts and Uruguay dove hunting is outstanding this time of year. It is spring like weather and the holiday season in South America is a great experience.


Wingshooters and their families can experience the warm hospitality of the world's best dove hunting lodges and estancias.

The holiday season is a time for families and dove hunting in Argentina and Uruguay provide the perfect destination for a multigenerational trip. No matter the interest, there is something for everyone in Argentina and Uruguay.

The wingshooter, no matter the age or skill level or experience, will have a chance to shoot high volume doves. Dove hunting is such a great wingshooting sport to share with your young bird hunters or those that taught and showed you the benefits of bird hunting.

For the females who are not wingshooters, and don't worry, we KNOW the top wingshooters are many times are sportswomen! But there are wine tours, shopping like you are in Paris, and tango shows that will amaze you. After viewing the popular show "Dancing with the Stars" one should see where tango dancing began. Both Argentina and Uruguay claim the introduction of tango dancing and one see a tango dance by just walking through the various outdoor markets.


Contact Los Gauchos Outfitters today to plan your holiday dove hunting in Argentina or Uruguay. Uruguay -Argentina dove hunting trips are sure to inspire, enthuse and reconnect a group of family and friends.

Today Los Gauchos Outfitters sits down (we don't do that often..) to give thanks to all the Veterans who serve this country.

Los Gauchos Outfitters is honored to have had many veterans as guests of ours in Argentina and Uruguay. We enjoy having the privilege to have them come down and enjoy a wing shooting, waterfowl or angling experience that many have on their list of hobbies.

While our list is vast of the veterans we have had down to Uruguay and Argentina, this past season Los Gauchos Outfitters was honored to have: General James Daniel, Major James Kopp, Petty Office 1st Class Marcus Luttrell as guests for the 2009 season in Uruguay.

While these men are just a few of the thousands of men and women that serve our country, the stories and admiration for veterans is beyond words. As having had the honor to sit and talk after a great duck hunt or dove hunt in Argentina and Uruguay with several Los Gauchos clients that served in the military, I sleep better at night and realize what a great country we have and how much we all need to not only thank veterans on November 11th, but everyday for the service they provide or have provided.

Los Gauchos Outfitters salutes you!

Los Gauchos Outfitters-a few notes from owner and duck hunter, George Criddle



In this tough economy, businesses need to find new ways to hold on to their clients business and loyalty. Customer loyalty has been more than a saying at Los Gauchos since the day we opened our doors--it has been the lifeblood of our continued growth and success.

So it should come as no surprise that we have been quite proactive to combat the decrease in demand due to the lagging economy. By streamlining our operations using new software and IT solutions (going completely paperless), we can now bring you the same great wingshooting and fishing trips for twenty percent less in most cases.

Even though our clients have always raved about our brochures and videos, we find that they appreciate saving 20% of their total trip cost and the inclusion of shotgun rental and gratuities in the final package much more than they enjoy the brochures and DVDs.

Not having to do business with the U.S. Postal service, our graphic designers, and our video editors has lowered our costs dramatically, and our new SalesForce and PaymentTech software gives us the ability to do much more, with far fewer employees.

The most important factor is how this is going to help you. Give us a call today, and visit our over 50 satellite websites--featuring some of the best outdoor photography and video on the web--and a virtual tour of the lodge where you are interested in staying.

Beretta, Benelli, and many other industry leaders count on Los Gauchos to deliver amazing wingshooting trips each year that offer the best combination of value and quality--and you can too.

Contact us today to find out more. It costs nothing for you to do it, and it is certainly worth your time.
