DUCK HUNT
You can hunt ducks from May 1st to September
15.
This trip
is designed for the duck hunters. The outfitter
Eduardo has 20 years experience and he has been
running this trip for more than ten years.
Uruguay is a small South American country, just
northeast of Argentina. It is about the same size
as Pennsylvania. It is rich in agriculture especially
rice, sunflower, sorghum and corn. The ducks are
found in the rice area know as province of Rocha.
Here there are huge marshes which are the
wintering home to hundreds of thousands of ducks.
THE HUNTING
We will have 5 morning duck hunt (suggested). We
will have breakfast at the hotel and then head for
the duck lagoons. Most drives to the duck lagoons
are 30 minutes to 1 hour. When you get there your
duck guides will be waiting for you. Most of the
time we will be shooting double blinds. Each blind
will
have a spread of decoys. Most all the ducks will
be good decoying ducks. We will be shooting a good
variety of ducks. Our main duck is the rosy billed
pochard. The rosey bill is very similar in size
and character with the mallards. Other species we
will be targeting are silver teal, Brazilian teal,
speckled teal, ringed teal, Cinnamon teal, Red shoveler,
Chiloe Widgeon, brown pintail and whistling ducks.
Most of the blinds are very easy to get to. We suggest
you bring hip boots to hunt.
In the afternoons we will shoot either perdiz or
pigeons. Eduardo and Alex will get with the group
each day and advise you which species we will be
after each day. For those unfamiliar with partdrige,
it is an upland game bird little bigger than a quail.
The perdiz will be hunted over pointing dogs. Eduardo
has the best Brittanys for the perdiz shooting in
Uruguay.
Partdrige do not covey up like quail. They are found
almost always in singles. Hunting is done with two
shooters per guide and dog. Most of the walking
is very easy. Lightweight hunting boots are perfect
for this. You can expect to flush around 20-30 perdiz
in an afternoon.
We will be shooting the pigeons over decoys. Guides
will put the decoys in nearby trees and on the ground.
The pigeons are quick to come in. They decoy great.
As you shoot the pigeons they will be added to your
decoys. These are a very large bird and they are
very sporty. You can expect to fire 4-6 boxes of
shells in an afternoon.
The main emphasis of this trip is the duck hunting.
THE ACCOMMODATIONS:
In the extreme eastern region of Uruguay,
and the province of Rocha, near the town of Chuy,
outfitter Eduardo Gonzalez has contracted a new
facility called Fortin de San Miguel as our primary
duck hunting location.
This beautiful, small hotel overlooks some incredible
lagoons that hold thousands of ducks that migrate
here from May-September. We are very fortunate to
have this property available for our hunting program.
Fortin de San Miguel has some 20 nicely decorated
rooms and a huge dining room and lounge area with
a panoramic view of the surrounding property. This
old beautiful castle is located on top of a hill
in the middle of a marsh, near the city of Chuy
on the Brazilian border.
Eduardo will have his own personal chef to prepare
meals for the groups. The ducks and partdrige the
chef prepares are delicious. Excellent wines will
be served with each meal.
Uruguay has hosted foreign sportsmen for several
years and while it has not received the volume of
publicity as it's neighbor Argentina, the secret
is starting to get out; Uruguay has a great wingshooting.
DOVE AND PERDIZ HUNTS
The outfitter runs this trip from May 1st to August
1st.
High volume shooting, the best Perdiz hunting and
the great operation of "Las Palmas Lodge"
at the Monzon Hebert property. This is a first class
hunting experience and a nice combination.
Eduardo has one of the best kennel of Brittanys
in Uruguay. When you arrive in Montevideo, Eduardo's
staff will met you there. They will assist the group
through immigration and customs. We will have a
quick hunt this afternoon. The next three days will
be full hunting and the last day we will hunt the
morning, then travel back to Montevideo to catch
our flight to U.S. It is about 2 hour drive to the
airport.
Every
morning we will have a full breakfast at the lodge
and then leave for Perdiz hunt in nearby fields.
We have over than 500.000 acres of pastures available
and exclusive for ours hunters. For those unfamiliar
with Perdiz, it is an upland game bird little bigger
than quail.
On a normal morning, two hunters, a dog and a guide
can expect to flush 30-50 perdiz in two hours of
easy walk. After this we come back to the lodge
for lunch and nap.
In the afternoon we will hunt dove going to roost.
You can expect to shoot 1-2 cases of shells (500-1000
shells) in an afternoon. We will return to the lodge
in plenty time for a snack and a drink before dinner.
THE ACCOMMODATIONS
"Las Palmas Lodge" is one of the most
important lodges in the country with 90.000 acres.
It was built in 1896 and is very nice. Being so
big everyone will have a single room. The lodge
has 11 bedrooms, big dinning room, a swimming pool
and a nice barbecue where you will taste the finest
food in all Uruguay. Excellent local wines will
be served with each meal. Every client who went
the past seasons said the same thing: the shooting
was unbelievable, great service and the food outstanding.
"Las Palmas Lodge" is very quaint and
quiet and offer a chance to relax and have privacy;
is quickly becoming favorite of hunting groups.
The atmosphere on this hunt is one of the best in
the world. You do not need to worry about anything.
All you do is eat, sleep, drink and shoot until
you can't stand it any more.
DOVE HUNTS
Las Palmas Lodge
You can hunt doves all the year.
The Uruguay dove hunts have it all. High volume
hunting, great accommodations and food, and excellent
service. You will have the great operation of "Las
Palmas Lodge" and all the doves you will ever
see. We
rates this trip as one of the best bargains in the
industry for a first class hunting experience. Without
a doubt this is the best bang for the buck you will
find anywhere. The outfitter Eduardo Gonzalez has
20 years experience and he has been running this
trip for a long time. Uruguay is a small South American
country, just northeast of Argentina. It is about
the same size as Pennsylvania. Uruguay has a great
wingshooting but has not received the volume of
publicity as Argentina.
THE HUNTING
We will have 3 full days and two half days shooting
(suggested). Eduardo and Alex will assist the groups
through customs. It is about 2 hour drive to the
lodge. We will hunt this afternoon. The next three
days will be full hunting and the last day we will
hunt the morning, then travel back to Montevideo
to catch our return flight.
The dove hunting in Uruguay is year round. The Carmelo
and Colonia areas are large agricultural areas.
Large tracts of sorghum and sunflower are what draws
the dove to this area. On an average day expect
to fire two to three cases of shells easily every
day on dove. It all depends on how much you want
to shoot. We encourage shooters to bring small
bore shotguns 16, 20 and 28 gauges. Due to the volume
or shooting and the close range shooting, there
is no sense in bringing 12 gauges. The dove fly
all day.
We have all eared dove, which is almost identical
to the U.S. mourning dove. Every morning we will
start with a full breakfast at the lodge and then
leave for the dove fields. Most drives to the field
are 30 minutes to 1 hour. On most days we will shoot
all day with a big barbecue or "asado"
in the field. The
barbecue features steaks, chicken, lamb(if you order),
salads, fruits and excellent local Uruguayan wines.
We will return to the lodge in plenty of time for
a swim, to have a snack and a drink before dinner.
