 “For
Benelli's American Safari television show we went to
Argentina in May 2004 to hunt waterfowl, doves, and
upland birds. We demonstrated the capability of our new
Super Black Eagle II and M2 Field with Benelli's newest
innovation, the ComforTech® system. What better place to
put this recoil reduction system to the test than
Argentina— a country well known for some of the finest
high-volume wingshooting in the world. Los Gauchos
Outfitters provided an incredible goose hunt.
I could not get over how close the birds decoyed,
despite two large video cameras in the blind! We also
had a fast-action duck hunt for both decoying puddle
ducks, and passing teal. The only time my attention was
diverted from the many flying birds was to watch the
constant retrieves of their two black labs, Fred and
Lefty.
We shot case after case of shells, and never felt any significant recoil -- the new Benellis performed well, and so did Los Gauchos. We also had an opportunity to hunt upland Perdiz with our 20- gauge Franchi over and
under in the afternoon. We hunted over a splendid English setter that effortlessly pointed our Perdiz until dusk. It was the finest Perdiz hunting I have ever experienced. “Los Gauchos Outfitters has a wonderful new lodge with a polite and courteous staff. The food was excellent and so are the memories.” |

| "Los Gauchos has the finest bird dogs that I have ever seen in Argentina. The goose shooting is also outstanding." |
| Stuart Williams, Editor at large, Double Gun Journal |
| “Los Gauchos outfitters provided an outstanding wing shooting experience. I was able to shoot five different duck species in one hunt, and enjoy wonderful hospitality that will forever bring back fond memories.” |
| Richard Howard, Director of Licensing, Mossy Oak Brand Camo |
| I had four days of great high volume wing shooting which included multiple species of Ducks, Geese and Pigeons. The food was some of the best I have ever had at any hunting lodge, and the accommodations and staff were all top notch. I can't wait to go back!!!” |
| Ron Latschaw, Founder, Final Approach— makers of the famous Eliminator Blind, X-Lander blind, and the Air Controller |
| The lodge itself was incredible. The staff could not have been more accommodating, or made us feel more at home. Los Gauchos Outfitters has succeeded in combining luxury and great waterfowl hunting together—two things that are often mutually exclusive in our past experiences. Their prices are reasonable, and worth every penny. We have already put down a deposit for 2005.” |

| “Filming waterfowl across North America is what we do, but to experience Argentina is something special. If you’ve ever dreamed of hunting waterfowl like the way it used to be, then Los Gauchos can provide an experience that is truly the stuff dreams are made of.... The abundance of game in both numbers and variety of species alone was incredible! I will return.” |
| Freddy King, Videographer |
| "We had a day of world-class Perdiz shooting on a private estancia at Los Gauchos. The English setter relocated one running bird 6 times in as nice a display of bird work as I've ever seen. Other birds held like ticks for the dog. Goose hunting was superb and the scenery awesome. Ducks were plentiful and the variety amazing. As for the food, wine, lodging and staff; first rate." |
| Clair Kofoed, Editor at Large, Shooting Sportsman Magazine |
| "As an agent, I've dealt with George, Andres, and the staff at Los Gauchos since the day they opened their doors. They are professional in every respect, from the time they accept a booking until the follow up after the trip. They do what they say they are going to do, which is exactly what I'm looking for in an outfitter." |
