Uruguay Doves
Uruguay dove hunting is a popular sport and even more so since most wingshooters have "been there done that" when they plan their dove hunting trip and Cordoba seems to be the only destination..
Uruguay is located just east of Argentina and while small in size, Uruguay is large in volume and variety of bird hunting ooportunities.
Uruguay dove hunting trips include the shotguns. Los Gauchos does NOT charge an extra fees to use our high quality supply of guns in Uruguay.
You can bring your own shotgun to Uruguay and Los Gauchos will send you the form (one page) to complete for the temporary gun license
Dove hunting in Uruguay is the best on the western side of Uruguay.
This area is full of acre after acre of crops that doves feed on. The dove roosts are enormous, and without opening up the Uruguay hunting fields to wingshooters, farmland and crops are damaged.
Thus, Uruguay is a stable, safe country that welcomes wingshooters to enjoy Uruguay and its dove hunting.
