This one is from part 1 but I like it so much that I posted it again
As some of you already know, I'm starting my wingshooting business in Uruguay, this is the Estancia's house where the hunters will stay.
High volume dove shooting,pigeons and partdrige on dogs all year long.

LorenzoBruz,
It's not so easy, sometimes you don't fish nothing
Will,
Uruguay as Argentina, has big populations of eared doves,we call them torcazas, also we 've two kind of pigeons, the picazuro and the spotedwinged.
The farm has plenty of crops (maiz,sorgo,soja) and a nice river with plenty of bush (nesting areas), so very early in the morning (6:30)the doves comes in thousands to the crops, they do this flying very quickly and by the same places, at evening they do it the other way round.
You can expect 1000 shots per day.
Each hunter can bring two shotguns to my country, preferably 12 bore,maybe 20, but this is a personal choice
At 10 am, when the sun start warming the ground, the partdriges (perdiz) start moving so you can hunt them with dogs (pointers,bracos).
Lunch, a siesta, and more pigoens and doves.
Also there are wildboars, axis and fishing,of course they are more difficult than doves
Best time for doves and pigeons is from february till september, for perdiz, from may till august.
Arriving to that farm takes 1 hour and a half by road, is located in the department (province) of Durazno, in the center of the country,and in the banks of the Y� river. I've other place in Soriano (other deparment in the west), also with plenty of birds.
I think Uruguay is a wonderful place to spend some days resting,shooting and drinking...
