Dove hunt Uruguay all year-long. The western Colonia and Rio
Negro provinces, especially, are defined by large agricultural
areas of sorghum, sunflower and soybeans that attract large numbers
of eared dove. Uruguay's dove hunts are without exception
very good by U.S. standards: expect to fire 1000-1500 shotshells
very easily during an average afternoon dove hunt. Small-bore
shotguns such as 20 and 28 gauges are the norm. The dove fly all
day, but afternoon dove hunts will involve your being strategically
located between feeding areas and roosts. Shoot until your heart -
and arm - is content! Dove hunting in Uruguay is usually
paired with excellent perdiz hunting or duck hunting in the
mornings, making this hunt one of our most popular among travelling
sportsmen.
Perched majestically atop a knoll with a striking 360 degree
view of the fertile Uruguayan countryside is Estancia San Juan, the
newest edition to the David Denise Wingshooting venue. Managed by
partners and long time shooting hosts Bernardo and Mercedes Barran,
San Juan offers the convenience of shooting all game birds in
Uruguay, ducks, doves, pigeons and perdiz, from just one
destination and the assurance of a world-class outfitter known for
attention to detail and quality.
As the early morning fog lifts from the pastures and waterways,
shooters will find themselves in short grass fields hunting perdiz
over Bernardo's prized setters or perhaps in a dry barrel blind as
duck and pigeons waffle into a decoy spread. Following the morning
shoot, enjoy lunch as a traditional South American asado (barbeque)
in the field or return to the estancia for a sit-down affair
featuring grilled meats and fine wine. Afternoon Uruguay dove
hunts provide limitless shooting. Our clients report "as many doves
as seen in Cordoba".
