Uruguay Duck Hunting
Waterfowl Hunting - Uruguay - Los Gauchos OutfittersUruguay duck hunting is not a popular sport among the residents of Uruguay or South America. But, for North Americans, this means a prime location for some of the best duck hunting in South America.
Uruguay is a small country full of farmland and rice fields. The ducks congregate on the northeast side of the country and Los Gauchos sends up to 8 waterfowl hunters per week to experience the duck hunting in Uruguay.
Two prime lodges that focus on the ducks and the clients that come to duck hunt. If you want a mix bag of ducks, welcome to Uruguay duck hunting. The mix bag of ducks can include up to 8 species ranging from teal to the Rosy Bill pochard to the widgeon and many more. Take a look at some of the photos of the duck hunting in Uruguay and see what Los Gauchos means when clients ask for a mixed bag hunt.
