Only those who have been dove hunting in Argentina will be able to comprehend the type of dove hunting that awaits one in Uruguay. Uruguay bird hunting is becoming increasingly popular, and with it, the high volume dove hunting in Uruguay.

The Golden Eared Dove that is so popular in Argentina is the same species one will find in the western portions of Uruguay, and in similar abundance. In fact, Uruguay hunting trips can easily be added on to Argentina wingshooting trips due to the close proximity of the South American gateway cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

Even Uruguay duck hunting trips can be added as a complete wildfowl package that is sure to please even the saltiest old pro. No dove hunting outfitters in Uruguay are more experienced than Los Gauchos Outfitters, and no one can bring you closer to actually being there than we can.

As previously mentioned, only those who have experienced Cordoba dove hunting can truly understand what is in store for them upon booking a dove hunting trip to Uruguay.  One area worth mentioning is this: bring a 20 gauge shotgun with you to Uruguay.  A twelve gauge is complete overkill for Uruguay dove hunting, and therefore not a good call for those who desire to keep their shoulders intact.

Additionally, unlike bird hunting in Argentina, there are not nearly as many dove hunting outfitters in Uruguay.  Therefore, fewer clients book trips to Uruguay, and the demand for shotgun shells in the country are not that of Argentina—so it can sometimes be difficult for Uruguay outfitters to find 16, 28, and .410 shells, making it a good idea to always bring a 20 when booking Uruguay dove hunts.

That is not to say that one should ONLY bring a twenty ga. When hunting in Uruguay.  The 12 has its place in the pigeon and Perdiz fields, as well as for duck hunting in Uruguay.  Just bear in mind that one can expect to shoot over 2,000 shells per day when dove hunting in Uruguay, and that is the job for something smaller than a twelve.

The highest volume dove hunting in Uruguay typically takes place s in the afternoons when hundreds of thousands of doves are making their way to the roosts.  Unlike Argentina dove hunting, there are far fewer large roosting areas in the western portion of Uruguay, which is actually good for the dove hunter who visits this friendly little nation, because the birds are more concentrated, allowing dove hunting outfitters in Uruguay to really dial in on the birds.

The customary lunch in the field on a Uruguay dove hunting trip is the traditional asado—the same smorgasbord of pork, beef, and chicken found when dove hunting Cordoba Argentina.  Gauchos are not restricted to Argentina either!  Chances are that your BBQ will be prepared by a real gaucho, who has probably been working on that very farm his entire life.  They are friendly and affable gentlemen, and it is always an amazing feat to watch them slice and prepare the grass-fed South American beef.

Uruguay dove hunting is an “A-list” trip that every serious international wingshooter should put on his or her short list of South American bird hunting trips.  The volume is high, the weather is fantastic all year, and it has never been easier to go bird hunting in Uruguay—American Airlines offers daily non-stops from Miami to Montevideo’s Carrasco International Airport.
