NEW! Destinations and Hunting Trips - Uruguay Dorado Fishing - Uruguay Bird Hunting

It's football season.  It's hunting season.  This is truly one of the best times of the year for sportsmen.  It's also a great time to take a look at our new lineup in 2011.  More destinations.  More species, and big fish.  That's what's in our lineup for 2011.

First, our new La Zona dorado fishing is sure to continue producing BIG dorado for our clients.  New boats, and new rods and reels for 2011 will make it a great time for anyone to fish with us.  Add the opportunity to hunt doves, ducks, and Perdiz to that, and you have an exciting trip that will really get the adrenaline pumping.  

Next, we are glad to announce that our Paysandu are mixed bag hunt at estancia La Paz will be kicked off with a big sale that will be announced shortly.  This area has proven to be excellent for doves, perdiz, and decoyed pigeons--with a big emphasis on the pigeons.  When is the best time to come?  Just about anytime between May and August.  Please get in touch with us for more details.  

Next, we will be rolling with Uruguay duck hunts in Rio Branco and Rocha.  When something is not broken, the cliche says, "Don't fix it."   These are the best duck hunting programs in South America, and they will continue to be for the foreseeable future. 

In Mercedes, we host our guests in one of the nicest dove hunting lodges in all of South America.  This lodge is located on the Rio Negro River and the dove fields are less than 15 minutes from the lodge.  The shooting can only be described as "hot barreled", and there are easy limits of Perdiz to be harvested, when in season.

Won't you join us?  Get in contact with us today and let's plan your 2011 dove hunting vacation!

DUCK HUNTING SEASON OPEN in Uruguay and ARGENTINA!

OK --at Los Gauchos Outfitters it kind of feels like Black Friday for hunting season.  May the beginning of duck hunting in Uruguay and Argentina.

What?  May?  Yesiree - while the thermometer rises and you start thinking "when is fall" - the temperature is dropping to a cool 48 degrees for duck hunting mornings in Uruguay - it is winter time and did I mention, duck hunting season!

I have to take this time as Los Gauchos welcomes all of our repeat clients and new clients that are either returning to South America for a hunting trip with Los Gauchos or they are embarking on their first Uruguay hunting trip.

I have had the privilege of spending some duck hunting seasons in Argentina and Uruguay and while we do our best to supply all the information, answer all the questions, and point you in the right direction for guidelines about Uruguay, Argentina, and South America in general...sometimes guests have some funny requests or "suggestions" and as I'm sure it states in the Los Gauchos Terms and Conditions there is no statue of limitations with regards to some of the comments you make when duck hunting in Uruguay.

Here goes:

•  A few clients from our beloved state of Texas came for a duck hunting trip and had a great one.  They could not believe the variety of ducks and "these aren't Texas ducks" - (Texas is a country, right?!).  Well, we get to their last morning duck hunt and these are duck hunters, not a group of girls getting emotional about their last shopping spree on Park Avenue.  One of the guests makes the comment:  "I have one complaint...I just can't believe this place."  Uh oh I think, did I get my Spanish wrong from the guides - I thought they reported "BUENO and MUCHO PATOS..".  No, he wants to make the comment "Argentina does not have Dr. Pepper.  What kind of third world country is this? 

Ahhh, well, no you are in Argentina among the finest wines, ample supply of coca-cola and Pepsi, as well as the famous mate (a tea like drink favored by residents of Uruguay and Argentina).  So, beware all you bird hunters wanting to take a trip to Uruguay or Argentina for some of the world's best duck hunting.  You will not be served a Dr. Pepper.

• Travel incident that of course - no Los Gauchos website had mentioned?  What?  Have you called our office or googled the words Uruguay travel, hunting, duck hunting.  Have you never been away and had to pack a suitcase. OK to the point.  A group did have some flight delays which again, is not Los Gauchos fault OR the airlines - yes, I must digress here - when you have a delay there are several reasons, but it is NOT the fault of the crew.  In fact, the pilots and maintenance crew should get a bonus for every delay.  They keep that equipment in the safest form so that you get to your destination quickly and safely and comfortably.

Anyway, these guests were tired and not in the best of spirits when they landed.  We take them to a cafe to sit down, refresh, enjoy the city of Buenos Aires and nice cool weather and good coffee and fresh baked pastries before heading out to the lodge and the duck hunting blinds.  

The guest just could not get over the delay and finally spoke up (rather loudly - giving Argentineans good reason to LOVE American tourists....) I want a LARGE coffee and refill and where are the all you can eat pancakes I want.

Uh, I quickly check to make sure we picked up the right person.  Maybe he did get on the wrong plane and was headed to a meeting at the Waffle House in Abbeyville not Argentina for duck hunting.

So take note:  Argentina and Uruguay are almost 5000 miles away.  Below the equator and a different continent.  This is the reason WHY duck hunting is so grand in Uruguay and Argentina.  The international travel is a big part of the experience and adventure - so enjoy - every delay, every cup of coffee, every minute of duck hunting for species not found north of the equator. 

Los Gauchos welcomes you and I thank our clients for making it such a pleasure to meet you and help to make sure you have the best duck hunting trip ever.  Again, I do this because I love the clients, the country of Uruguay and Argentina , the culture and differences of Argentina and Uruguay, and the mishaps that sometimes happens...makes life great!  And gives some good content for Facebook and Twitter.

Happy Hunting and enjoy the 2010 Duck Hunting Season in Uruguay and Argentina

Summertime Duck Hunting IN Uruguay and Argentina with Los Gauchos Outfitters

For the avid duck hunter, nothing sounds sweeter than being able to hunt ducks in mid July.  At least for me it was, and that is precisley what ignited my passion to make my first trip to Argentina.  None of my duck hunting buddies were as convinced as I was that the wingshooting in South America was all that it was purported to be--so none of them were ready to make the investment in airfare and hunt fees to go with me.

So I did what any addict would do--i went it alone, and my agent said that I could join an intact group of hunters for a mixed bag shoot for ducks, geese, and perdiz.  I even got my first taste of pigeons, and was happy to have the opportunity to do so, since it's the next best thing to duck hunting in a freshly cut corn field.

The duck hunting in Argentina, and later I found in Uruguay too, is simply the best in the world--better than Canada, better than Mexico, better than you name it.  I have hunted all of these places and shot ducks on four continents, and nothing tops suck hunting in South America.

There are so many species of birds, and they are all so plentiful--Silver teal, Speckled teal, Chiloe widgeon, Rosybilled Pochards, and many more.  The ducks, plus the Magellan geese, make hunting in Argentina a waterfowl hunting bonanza--it's no wonder that so many repeat...this trip is a once in a lifetime fo some, but for many others, it is an addiction that must be fed yearly.

Fortunatley, it only took one trip and the photos that I took there to convince my friends and family that this was the place for duck hunting.  After a few more trips, I knew that the time was right to make my move and start my own operation.  That was over ten years ago, and since then we at Los Gauchos have never looked back.  It has been an incredible run, and we are now expanding into emerging wingshooting markets like Peru.

Yes, Peru shows a lot of promise to become the next big venue in wingshooting--especially duck hunting.  The rice fields there offer great shooting for teal and tree ducks, and dove hunting combos and even Andean goose hunting are a part of the standard package.

When I was asked what country is next for Los Gauchos, I give my standard response, "I don't know right now, but if there is good duck hunting there, there is a good chance of us being there soon!"

Los Gauchos is in Gear and Ready for Hunting Season

Just received some magazines with great photos of dogs and the sad headlines of  "Hunting Season coming to a close..." awwww.

Well, good news hunting season is about to begin (and actually is year round for the dove hunting) at Los Gauchos Outfitters.  Los Gauchos is preparing as always, rice for the daily baiting - check.  Flight schedules to/from Miami set - check.

And good news and updates for the upcoming Uruguay duck hunting season.

First, flights - American Airlines has added a flight to their schedule to/from Montevideo. American Airlines now flies 4 flights per week to Montevideo.  We don't like to take credit, but now that Los Gauchos has 2 lodges ---we're just saying...thanks American Airlines for making it easier to get to Uruguay for duck hunting.

Second - Los Gauchos lodges - maybe you have not heard, Los Gauchos now has TWO, dos, 2, more than  one, duck hunting lodge.  Fortin Lodge is located in Chuy, Uruguay in the northeast part of Uruguay and provides the full days of duck hunting that Los Gauchos customers want.

We could go on and on...but we have duck hunting schedules to put together and hunting gear ready for their ride to Uruguay - so cheer up -- Hunting Season is about to start in Uruguay for the 2010 season.

Los Gauchos - we love creating a culture of excellence - our foundation of Uruguay duck hunting greatness.

Check out all of our Uruguay duck hunting destinations and let us know what you think....

Argentina Bird Hunting and Uruguay Hunting Trips --Coming Soon!

Yes, while the US is covered in snow, Argentina and Uruguay are enjoying 90 degree temperatures and a summer season like most.  Now, as we move to the middle of February and spring break and YES, we did say SPRING BREAK!  Then North America will quickly forget the cold, snowy days of February and be wishing they could have some nights less than 80 degrees.

Welcome to Argentina and Uruguay and specifically Argentina Bird Hunting and Uruguay Duck Hunting season.  Whoo hoo -- it's back better than ever.  Argentina has many more destinations such as:

Argentina doves, ducks, pigeons, AND Perdiz out of the same lodge - Estancia Estero and Rosybill Lodge

and the Los Gauchos classic Duck Hunting Lodges - Rio Branco and Fortin Lodge

Los Gauchos wants to take a moment to review what we have learned our clients want (and yes, we will take comments, applause, or tips?!?)

• provide some top quality duck hunting 
• provide some options in both Argentina and Uruguay
• let us taste some of that famous Argentina wine
• teach us how to pronounce or say URUGUAY (and how to spell it!)
• don't make us bring a gun---they DON'T fly free --even on Southwest Airlines
• don't charge us since we can't find room in our luggage checklist to bring a gun case.
• again, we are traveling way down south for duck hunting - show us some duck hunting!

OK -- Los Gauchos has answered -

Los Gauchos provides top Uruguay duck hunting and top Argentina duck, dove, pigeon, and Perdiz hunting.

Argentina wine served - several varieties and hints on which ones to buy at the duty free shop before you depart.

URUGUAY -- we don't care but happy to help with the spelling and pronunciation of Uruguay.

Guns provided - included in the daily rate. so don't worry. Los Gauchos has you covered. Hunting equipment is included.

Again, we show you the best duck hunting in Uruguay and Argentina - all day everyday.

Come on down --pack light and get ready for some Uruguay duck hunting and Argentina bird hunting.

Hunting - Singing - Ducks -Uruguay - Argentina - Go!

OK --while most of the blogs are about Uruguay hunting or bird hunting in Argentina and yes, sometimes  football (UT Longhorns..heard of them?)--I enjoy writing about events, people, and things I like.  So Los Gauchos Outfitters covers all of those subjects but so does singing and the Grammy's are on tonight.  While, I admit I'm a "thirty" something year-old, I do love music and the artists that are nominated for the Grammys.

A lot of the songs and music can be compared to hunting with Los Gauchos in Uruguay and Argentina.  Now, while the song "Paradise City" and Gun n Roses may start playing in your head...there are many more!

First, the artists today are moving from just pop or just country...think Taylor Swift.  She is not only an award winning amazing country artist, but she has become a pop superstar.  Los Gauchos Outfitters has moved into the dove hunting, fishing and pigeon hunting areas.  Los Gauchos is a popular duck hunting destination - in Uruguay we are number one.  From the Los Gauchos Uruguay Duck Hunting Club to the new Fortin Lodge destination, Uruguay duck hunting is our speciality.

Los Gauchos is a Cordoba Argentina reference and resource - with several lodges and rates (that all include a gun and tips), Cordoba is a classic and Los Gauchos is part of that classic - proudly.  Kind of like George Strait or Michael Jackson - classic.

Now artists today not only sing, but they dance, play an instrument and capture and keep the public wanting more.  Los Gauchos does too.  We can provide a 12 ga, 20 ga, fly-rod, book your flight to Santa Fe, Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay or get you on the boat to Colonia - AND provide outstanding bird hunting - ducks, doves, pigeons and Perdiz.  Los Gauchos is proud to be an artist for the hunting industry and continue to improve and keep our clients interests in mind.

Los Gauchos is proud to provide Uruguay pigeon hunting in the first class resort city of Uruguay - Punta del Este.

So, have fun watching your favorite artist perform or get acquainted with one you didn't know, and become a fan of Los Gauchos, we won't let you down - rock, country, pop, classical - we've got THE  song.

Uruguay and Argentina Hunting Trips - Travel Insurance-Los Gauchos

This Is Why You Need Travel Insurance For Your Next Trip:

Every year anglers and hunters spend thousands of dollars on their hunting and/or fishing vacation to South America...and every year some hapless individuals are met with disaster--of one kind or another.

In most cases, the event that ruins their trip is as benign as a missed flight connection, and in other cases, it is something more severe--such as an automobile accident while driving to and from the field. No matter how serious, or how benign the trouble is when it rears its ugly head, you are going to be glad you bought travel insurance. And let us add that Los Gauchos Outfitters provides Sportsman Travel Insurance.

One high quality seller of this insurance makes the claim, "If you can get in there, we can get you out!". When disaster strikes in the African desert, the jungles of Brazil, or deep in the heart of the Andes Mountains, you need coverage that will not only save you money, but time. One call to the insurance company can get the wheels in motion to your rescue. They have access to resources that you will not immediately have on hand (such as the contact info for the best and closest air ambulance operator), and these resources can save your life--because accidents, heart attacks, and strokes are time critical events that need to be dealt with immediately and correctly.

Typically, this coverage that will save your life costs roughly 3% of the cost of your trip, but it varies on a linear scale vis a vis your age. You don't need to buy it, until you need it--much like a raincoat and umbrella--but one is never sorry that they brought it when it starts to rain like hell. Don't get caught out in the rain, unprepared, when it comes to your health and livelihood. If you are injured in a foreign country, the cost of care and transportation back to your home can wipe out your savings at best, and completely ruin you financially at worst.

You play it safe at home. You don't take chances with your family, your health, and your business...yet so many get board an airplane to South America or Africa and suddenly believe that they are bulletproof.

You can pay for your travel insurance when you pay for your trip. If you have any questions, please contact our office-Los Gauchos- for more information, or to buy coverage.

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-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.

Happy Halloween Los Gauchos Outfitters!

So great to have Halloween on a Saturday for all the young wingshooters and waterfowlers to take a break after hunting and go and get some treats.

Saturday is also the day for U.T. Longhorn football. Great story about Jordan Shipley, who loves hunting and also singing. An outstanding country musician who has just released a track that is sure to hit the music scene of Austin AFTER he shows off his football talents, which he has done week after week. Jordan Shipley and fellow friend and player Colt McCoy are also avid wingshooters and anglers.

This Uruguay hunting blog is focused on Los Gauchos Outfitters and hunting so yes, we will tie in hunting to this "plug" about the U.T. football players. Jordan Shipley and quarterback Colt McCoy are active during hunting season. They also enjoy the sport of fishing and Uruguay is a perfect destination with hunting season May-August and fishing available anytime. In fact there is a fantastic video showing the U.T. Longhorn players on a bass fishing boat and just throwing a pass like they do week after week for the winning U.T. Longhorns.

Los Gauchos has a lot of athletes, military men, country music stars and tv hosts as their guests in Uruguay and of course we look at all of our guests as superstars and celebrities and give each and every wingshooter, waterfowler, and angler the superstar treatment.

Good Luck Longhorns, Happy Halloween, and Happy Hunting - don't forget Los Gauchos is actively booking for the 2010 season for duck hunting season in Uruguay. Don't let those available slots in the duck hunting blind get passed you. Our office is open and ready to talk about Uruguay duck hunting. (800) 420-8707 or info@losgauchos.com

Uruguay Duck Hunting - the future and the determination to be the BEST !

While these athletes have the determination and the ability to be winners, Los Gauchos Outfitters wants to showcase and talk about the determination of what goes into Los Gauchos Uruguay Hunting.

We have fantastic leaders, guides, hosts, office staff and more that are all a major part of the Uruguay hunting trip. And as the photos above should amaze you (the subjects could not be any better! But the photographer could not be any less than one of the best!) Los Gauchos also puts a lot of time and effort into showcasing the Uruguay hunting with professional photos, top ranked hunting professionals as guests, top web design professionals (Los Gauchos uses Oz Internet Marketing - one of the world's leading internet marketing resources), and the best equipment and guns (Benelli, Beretta, G&H duck decoys...).

We know Uruguay is a long way from the U.S. and for those taking time to experience the Uruguay hunting, the best should be given. Los Gauchos is again, not only a long time tradition and company that has placed Uruguay hunting on the map and in the magazines and on t.v. and on You Tube now (www.youtube.com/losgauchosoutfitters and www.youtube.com/adventurixtv), we are also travelers, wingshooters, watefowlers, and guests of lodges.

We still have the determination that these fine athletes pictured above have, and Los Gauchos is proud to be number one in the Uruguay hunting world.

Contact us today and we may be on the soccer field, volleyball field, duck blind and we are in the office too!

Have a great weekend, enjoy the fall weather in the U.S. and start to think warmth in Uruguay and Argentina as they gear up for spring and dove hunting.

Uruguay Duck Hunting - Los Gauchos Outfitters - FOOTBALL - exciting times....

Well, today is a Saturday and yes, Los Gauchos Outfitters is open. Remember we are duck hunters and Saturday is another good day for duck hunting. We are in the office though today since the Uruguay and Argentina duck hunting season is over and the U.S. duck hunting season has not yet opened. Soooo, we prep for the duck hunting seasons and watch some good U.T. football.

Uh oh, we hope. While sometimes U.T. does not play like they should or do they have a good day on the football field, Los Gauchos Uruguay duck hunting has a great record and I think we are the National Champions for Uruguay Duck Hunting. No question.

Our M.V.P is the owner and long time duck hunter, George Criddle. He has spent countless seasons and time in Uruguay on every inch of Uruguay and found some of the best Uruguay duck hunting areas. His associations and affiliations with the best duck hunting professionals and that is what is takes - professionals to operate the duck hunts and provide some of the best duck hunting trips for Los Gauchos clients.

Of course football and travel would not be complete with a support season, so while we don't have twelve cheerleaders at the airport every time you depart for your Uruguay duck hunting trip, we do have a support team and good energetic folks that are nearby to assist with your travel plans and details of your Uruguay travel.
