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.

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.

Contact Los Gauchos Outfitters today - after another U.T. win --and get the information you need for the 2010 Uruguay duck hunting season. Phone (800) 420-8707 or email: info@losgauchos.com

Los Gauchos Outfitters is proud to provide fishing as well as hunting year round.  While duck season is over until May 2010, our dove and pigeon hunting trips are available and with springtime weather coming to Argentina and Uruguay, now is a perfect time to hunt doves and/or pigeons in Argentina or Uruguay.  Spring is also a great time for dorado fishing in Uruguay.  These fresh water fish are fun to fish - active and abundant in the waters that separate Argentina from Uruguay.

Los Gauchos Outfitters has several websites showcasing the lodges and the hunting and fishing trips.  Take advantage of some of the international flights that are on sale now before the holiday season.  And know that many of our lodges are American owned and equipped with satellite service for all the football games!  

Enjoy you fall while Los Gauchos enjoys the fall weather one week and spring in South America the next week...but always enjoy watching University of Texas Longhorns and LSU Tigers no matter where we are.

Contact Los Gauchos Outfitters today - we look forward to having you down as our guest in Argentina or Uruguay for outstanding hunting and fishing.
