If someone asked you where the best duck hunting in South America was located, does the small friendly nation of Uruguay pop into your mind? Maybe you were going to say Argentina duck hunting?
If wingshooting in Uruguay did not come to mind, don’t fret; because even many experienced international wingshooters have not visited Uruguay yet…but that is changing quickly.
The secret is out that the bird hunting in Uruguay is every bit as good as its neighbor, Argentina. In fact, Uruguay was once a province of Argentina, and one will see little difference in the social customs, cuisine, and even their accent.
Indeed, Uruguay is taking its place at the top of the international bird hunting stage as a world class wingshooting destination—and the duck hunting in Uruguay is probably the most impressive venue. Like Argentina duck hunting, Uruguay duck hunts offer visiting shooters liberal limits, and some of the most classic duck hunting available anywhere—old fashioned rice-country plantation shoots.

Near the Brazilian border, Uruguay has hundreds of square miles of rice producing estancias, all possessing areas of dense marsh—perfect conditions for duck hunting.
Best of all, there is only a handful of duck hunting outfitters in Uruguay, and unlike duck hunting in Argentina, these birds have never been shot at, or pressured in any way.
The duck hunting in Uruguay has to be seen to be believed…wild ducks landing in the same pond with hunters who are picking up decoys and driving automobiles around the immediate vicinity—but that is just how it is in Uruguay. Probably a lot like duck hunting in Manitoba must have been over a century ago.
Uruguay duck hunts in Uruguay can be taken as stand alone wingshooting trips that last up to 5 days, or they can be taken in a combination package—offering a chance for hunters to experience some of the best dove hunting in South America, and the best upland bird hunting in South America.

The duck hunts in Uruguay take place in the eastern portion of the country (and it should be noted that the eastern portion is the ONLY part of the country with excellent duck hunting) and the dove and decoyed pigeon shoots typically take place in the west, and northwest.
If the combo package just does not provide enough action, great dorado fishing in Uruguay can be combined with any of the Uruguay bird hunting packages—delivering the ultimate in fast action. The dorado in Uruguay are freshwater fish from the salmon family that fight like striper and jump like tarpon.
