Hunting Pigeons in Uruguay – What you need to know…

Unlike Paraguay pigeon hunting, dove and pigeon hunting in Uruguay is easy to do…you do not need a tourist visa, and there are no long drives over dusty pothole-laden roads to get to the shooting grounds.  Is there a trade off?  Of course there is.  Pigeon hunting in Uruguay would be considered a Uruguay bird hunting trip of “medium volume”—offering only about half of the volume found on a pigeon hunt in Paraguay.

Uruguay Pigeon Hunting

But if 75 birds per person, per day, sounds like a reasonable take, then you are going to love Uruguay pigeon hunting.  The action is consistent, and hard-hitting.  Your heart will be pounding with excitement when the birds come in, dropping into your decoys with reckless abandon—flaring only from any stray movement on the ground, or from the report of gunfire.

A typical pigeon hunt starts at daylight, when pigeons are just lifting off of their roosts.  Hunters lie in wait in freshly cut crop fields that have been scouted the day before, ensuring that the birds are “working” the fields.  Scouting is an integral part of Uruguay pigeon hunting success, since these birds are quite fickle, tending to change their movements every few days.  Our guides have been hunting pigeons in Uruguay for decades, and are able to anticipate their movements, up to and including influencing them with the use of bait consisting of corn kernels and other assorted seeds.

Uruguay Bird Hunting – No limits for Dove sand Pigeons!
