South America Bird Hunting Accomodations:
We will stay in an estancia, which is a working ranch, but is set up to host hunters in grand style. This will be an experience you'll never find in the United States. The service and attention you will receive is reminiscent of bygone days.

It's enough to say your wife wouldn't mind staying here, in fact she is very welcome. The European influence and style will be felt during your entire stay. You will soon come to think of it as your own private estate.

The Hunt:
Morning bird hunts for either Perdiz, dove, or pigeons normally begin after breakfast. The locations have been selected based on the previous evening's scouting. Bird boys carry the shells and shooting stool, and assist you to your shooting station. They will make sure you don't run out of shells. From then on it's fire at will!

Afternoon hunts usually take place after a siesta, at known roost locations. The varieties of shots are as endless as the flocks, and there seem to always be birds within reasonable range.

The Perdiz season runs May through July. It's much like quail hunting, but with a seemingly endless supply of points. These birds are an upland hunter's dream! Perdiz are about the size of a Bobwhite, found in singles and pairs.

The Birds:

Doves - are predominately the eared and ground variety.

Pigeons - are wild, and are the Spot-winged and Picazuro species. These are numerous and hard to bring down.

Perdiz - are found in large quantities in open fields and are hunted over dogs. The Perdiz is a member of the Tinamou family.

Whether you have hunted South America before, or if this will be your first trip, you will not find a better wingshooting destination than Uruguay.

Food:
The food is fabulous and plentiful. A feast at every meal. You will see why we talk about siestas. Often local musicians will entertain during dinner to add a local flair to the activities at days end.
