The dove hunt that afternoon was outstanding

David Gregory,

I wanted to let you know that our trip to Uruguay was great. We had a wonderful time and everything went smoothly. We want to thank all of you—especially Melissa—for making sure the trip met our expectations. There were changes in the airline schedules and Melissa worked extremely hard and long hours to get our tickets changed. Many, many telephone calls--THEY WERE APPRECIATED.

Alberto called two days before we departed and said it had been raining and to bring boots. The area was really wet, but it did not interfere with our hunting. It did not rain much while we were there and we were able to make all of our hunts. Alberto recommended we take the charter flight from Montevideo to Mercedes as you had suggested. We did take the charter and everyone was glad we did. Saved a lot of time after flying all night. I would recommend this to other groups.

At Alberto’s, we got to shoot doves on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning. Most of the hunts were superb, although one was poor because it was very windy. We hunted perdiz two mornings and both hunts were very good. Everyone enjoyed the perdiz hunts. Food at Alberto’s was outstanding. He really does a good job with the meals.

The transfer from Alberto Regusci to Bernardo Barran went smoothly. The highlight of the trip was the decoyed pigeons at Bernardo’s. This was our first time to get to shoot pigeons over decoys and we really enjoyed the hunts. We shot pigeons on Monday morning and afternoon and then Tuesday morning before we left. Greg Stewart and I shot 173 pigeons Monday morning, 155 Monday afternoon, and 222 Tuesday morning. The six of us shot over 1300 in the three hunts.

The first afternoon dove shoot was not great, but good. The perdiz hunt the next morning was great and the dove hunt that afternoon was outstanding. Food and hospitality was great.

We had a good time and will be talking to you about going back next year. Hope your vacation was enjoyable. Take care.
