Uruguay Dove Hunting

Uruguay’s dove roosts are among one of Black River’s greatest assets. More impressive than the roosts themselves, is the fact that they’re yours. Four and a half days of shooting at Black River’s famed roosts gives our guests the seclusion of a private lease, the hospitality and service of a luxury lodge, and the opportunity to hunt destinations rivaled only by wing-shootings finest. Black River Outfitters dove hunting destinations provide only the highest volume wing-shooting opportunity. With the dove flight lasting all day, our guests can expect to shoot as many doves as they desire.

Uruguay Duck Hunting

Black River duck hunting provide a chance for our guest to experience one of Uruguay’s greatest opportunities -- high volume, decoying ducks. Sportsmen and women will experience duck hunting previously known only by the commercial hunters of the early 1900’s. Our hunts are made within close proximity to the lodge over well distanced lagoons and potholes. The ducks in Uruguay are among the most pressure free populations in South America, and guests can expect the ducks to fly low and slow, and decoy thoughtlessly.

Uruguay Decoyed Pigeon

Black River’s Uruguay pigeon hunting provides a challenging opportunity that is always appreciated by international sportsmen and women. Pigeon hunts are made in close proximity to Estancia San Cirilo, the flight begins minutes after sunrise, and the Uruguay pigeons provide non-stop decoying action throughout the morning.

Black River Pigeon hunts are an easy, relaxing, and entertaining shoot that is highlighted by the speed and acrobatic flying patterns of Uruguay’s Picazuro and Spot Wing pigeon. Our Uruguay pigeon hunts are made in dry, comfortable ground blinds hidden within the endless sunflower, sorghum, and soybean fields that surround the Estancia. Guest can expect to shoot their limit of shells in a typical pigeon shoot, and additional dove opportunities are a common bonus.

Uruguay Perdiz Hunting – Over Pointing Dogs

The sporty Uruguay Perdiz hunt is a great challenge for even the veteran upland hunter. Hidden in and among the shortest shrub fields of western Uruguay, the Perdiz is a master of camouflage, and a speedy flight bird. This upland test is experienced over well trained English setters or Brittany spaniels. Guest can expect easy walking and continuous points throughout the morning. Black River’s Uruguay Perdiz shooting is an opportunity for our guests to get away from high volume and test their upland skills. Guests of Black River can expect certain opportunity for limits of Perdiz, beautiful rolling hills, exceptional guides and pointers, and a respectable game bird.

Uruguay Golden Dorado Fishing

Our golden Dorado fishing is quickly becoming a favorite among the sportsmen and women of Black River outfitter. The chance to escape from high volume wing-shooting and venture the waters of the Uruguay River in pursuit of the aggressive golden Dorado is a must experience opportunity for guests of Black River Outfitter. Uruguay’s golden Dorado is revered by the fishing community for its vicious strikes, line stripping runs, and acrobatic leaps. Our guides can provide fishing opportunities for Uruguay’s golden Dorado ranging from 3 to 50 pounds. The Dorado is colored a magnificent iridescent yellow and green, and its beauty pales in comparison to it fight. Almost as impressive as the fish itself, is the fact that they are caught on our guides very own, hand carved lures. This ensures guests of Black River Outfitters a well experienced, knowledgeable guide throughout their fishing excursion. *Along side the Tarpon, our fly fisherman claim that Uruguay’s golden Dorado is among one of the hardest fish to land on fly tackle.
