Trip Report: Mixed-bag bird hunt in Uruguay

July 3, 2018

Today Richard and I hunted perdiz.  Martin was our guide and we shot over his young setters.  The morning was cool, sky clear.  Perfect.  We hunted for 1.5 hours – 27 flushes and 20 perdiz bagged.  As good as it gets.  Loved it.

In July, friends and I traveled to Uruguay’s Paysandu region to the hunt the area’s renowned mixed-bag of ducks, doves, and perdiz.  After five days of hunting, I can report a superb trip.  The ducks were hunted over decoys on small ponds.  No waders required!  The dove shooting was good and challenging.  The birds were often high and flying with a strong tail wind.  The perdiz hunting in the region is arguably the best in South America.  Morning and afternoon perdiz hunts consisted of 25-60 flushes in two to three hours of hunting.  Simply amazing.

The lodge was rustic, authentic, and very comfortable.  The staff was remarkable and the food exceptional.  Gourmet.

Montevideo is a mid-size city with excellent hotels and restaurants.  Airport arrival and departure was quick and painless.  We brought our own guns.  The permitting process through customs was a simple affair, the easiest I’ve experienced anywhere in the world.  I highly recommend this trip.

Good Hunting, Gordie

Gordie’s Book


“There are some things I knew about Gordie White before I read his book…and one important thing I did not know. I knew that he was not only an experienced hunter, but a passionate, with a genuine love for wild places and wild creatures. I knew that he’d been brought up as a hunter, and that this is, essentially, his life as well as his hobby, both his avocation and vocation. It’s my chronological misfortune to consider him young, but he’s filled his years with a tremendous amount of experience, from Canada to Africa and back again, with multiple stops in between. I knew these things because we’ve shared African campfires together…and I knew one thing more: Gordie White is one of the good guys, honest, self-deprecating, not given to the shameless self-promotion that, in this era of mass communication without accountability, turns inexperienced ‘wanna-be’s’ into self-proclaimed gurus. But there was one important thing that I did not know about Gordie White: The man can write! Although I’m sure there are more, there are two things that make a book like this worthy of reading. First, the writer must have a genuine story to tell. Second, he must be able to tell it. Gordie White passes both tests, and has given us a great story, worth telling and worth reading.”
