Trip Report: Mixed-bag bird hunt in Uruguay

Field Journal

July 3, 2018

Today Richard and I hunted perdiz.  Martin was our guide and we shot over his young setters.  The morning was cool, sky clear.  Perfect.  We hunted for 1.5 hours – 27 flushes and 20 perdiz bagged.  As good as it gets.  Loved it.

In July, friends and I traveled to Uruguay’s Paysandu region to the hunt the area’s renowned mixed-bag of ducks, doves, and perdiz.  After five days of hunting, I can report a superb trip.  The ducks were hunted over decoys on small ponds.  No waders required!  The dove shooting was good and challenging.  The birds were often high and flying with a strong tail wind.  The perdiz hunting in the region is arguably the best in South America.  Morning and afternoon perdiz hunts consisted of 25-60 flushes in two to three hours of hunting.  Simply amazing.

The lodge was rustic, authentic, and very comfortable.  The staff was remarkable and the food exceptional.  Gourmet.

Montevideo is a mid-size city with excellent hotels and restaurants.  Airport arrival and departure was quick and painless.  We brought our own guns.  The permitting process through customs was a simple affair, the easiest I’ve experienced anywhere in the world.  I highly recommend this trip.

Good Hunting, Gordie
