Big Game Chancho Jabali

Chancho Jabali

Traditionally our wing-shooters have not been interested in the big game that Uruguay has to offer, but we offer it nonetheless so that an adventurous sportsman looking to maximize his experience has the option. Despite its lack of popularity among our international guests, locals tend to favor the big game species over the ducks, doves and pigeons, and like their feathered friends, the big game species offer plenty of opportunity.

The most popular big game species is the wild pig or “chancho Jabali” as it is known locally. This familiar and tasty species is a common sight among the corn and wheat fields in Uruguay, particularly during the months of June and July when the corn is readily available to them. Most of the locals hunt them at night when they are more active, and if any guest is willing to trade a little sleep for a challenging night hunt on “chanco Jabali,” we are happy to offer that opportunity as well.
