Here are some details regarding your different Uruguay bird hunting options.

Western Uruguay has the best Perdiz hunting in the world. Period. Near the cities of Paysandu endless tracts of pastureland are saturated with these wild birds. The walking is easy, and the dogs are well-bred and well-trained English Setters, a variety of different pointers, or a Brittany—all pure pleasure to shoot behind. Points often come every three to five minutes, as the hunter quickly fills his daily limit in about an hour; sometimes less.

Perdiz Hunting in Uruguay (From Benelli product manager Jason Evans and Pheasants Forever SVP Joe Dugan)

“They were not kidding when they told us that this was the best Perdiz hunting we will ever experience. Thirty minutes, and almost 30 flushes—27 to be exact. Yea, the only bad part about hunting Perdiz in Uruguay is the fact that it is over so quickly!

But what a great little gamer…these birds give the dog a real workout, running continuously, hiding behind almost nothing until flushed by our walking over the top of them. Wingshooting in Uruguay Is a unique experience."

We hunt Perdiz in both the mornings, and afternoons, depending the itinerary of our guests. But in either case, the result is the same…the dogs quickly locate the birds, and hunters come up with quick limits in a just short period of time.

Even the rice and duck country region of southeastern Uruguay has good Perdiz hunting. Eastern Uruguay is not as productive as the western part of the country (but what place in the world is?), so hunters have to start a little earlier in the day, and walk farther to bag a day’s limit—but respectable shots can normally reach a limit in about three hours.

Perdiz hunting is not a high volume affair. The limit is only 12 per day, so in the world of international wingshooting, not too many hunters make a trip to South America solely to hunt Perdiz. Almost always, Perdiz hunts are combined with doves, pigeons, or ducks. In western Uruguay the combo hunts are conducted in this manner: decoyed pigeons or Perdiz in the morning, followed by doves in the afternoon. But on the eastern side of the country, Perdiz are hunted in the afternoons in lieu of more ducks.

The lesser Tinamou—named “Perdiz” in Latin America—is slightly larger than a bobwhite quail. These birds are distantly related to the ostrich, and stick their heads down in a similar way in order to hide from predators by blending in perfectly with the grass; they are so adept at this that they are capable of hiding in grass that is a thin as the rough of a golf course fairway.

When spooked, the Perdiz will lie perfectly still with their heads down, or run away quickly on the ground. Only when the dog and hunter come within a yard or two of the Perdiz, will the bird fly. When they do, the leap into the air and level off just a foot or two off the deck and punch out low and hard, rising only at approximately a 15 to 20 degree angle as they quickly put distance between the hunter and the hunted.

Here is a good upland hunting tip: after making a deposit on a hunting trip to South America for this sporty little gamer, be sure to practice up on your sporting clays and shoot a few rounds out on the trap range—it might make the difference between bagging a limit, or falling short.
