Uruguay! The little unknown country that is neighbor to Argentina and Brazil is a gem in the world of bird hunting. High volume doves and high volume ducks make up this small country (about the size of Oklahoma). I just got back from visiting Los Gauchos Outfitters and their new lodge in Colonia and let me tell you, AMAZING. While bad news seems to be the highlight on tv these days, in Colonia, Uruguay you will step back in time and have to adjust to RELAXATION with no traffic, not a lot of technical gadgets and people. The hotel was like picture I have seen of the European countryside and the people were so nice and accomodating.
Now for the Uruguay dove hunting ---do I need to mention numbers. How about doves, doves, doves, doves...multiply this by 1000. This is one afternoon of dove hunting in Colonia, Uruguay.
I want to go back since Uruguay Perdiz hunting just started May 1st. Oh, and since I am surrounded by Texas duck hunters, Uruguay duck hunting season just opened and that seems to be the discussions around here: Uruguay duck hunting and how soon can we get on American Airlines flight 989 for Montevideo and out in the duck blind the same afternoon?
Uruguay hunting....more stories and images of the outstanding season coming soon.
