Each day after a full breakfast, you’ll only have a short drive to a productive field or lagoon for ducks, doves, pigeons or perdiz. There are 50,000 on-property acres offering ten different duck lagoons/ponds, three sanctuary lakes offering refuse for the ducks. They also offer good volume dove/pigeon shooting on one their many feedlots and or roosts. The partridge shooting here at Santa Clara is the best in the country and their kennel of dogs is exceptional.
After the morning shoot you will come back to the lodge for a full lunch, or if the weather cooperates, an asado out back with the fire pits ablaze. After lunch your group will proceed with an afternoon shoot on a different species for the day. We must stress that drive times are short so programs can be flexible depending on the needs of each groups.
The family will welcome you like old friends in their home, a castle built by Jackson’s grandson, Arturo, in the late 1800s, only with European materials brought by boat and carriage to the heart of Uruguayan farmlands. The castle is a living museum, which Jackson’s descendant – the mother and grandmother to the current 7th generation owners, Magdalena – filled with furniture, art, and treasures that tell the story of this family, which is no other than the history of Uruguay.
