Ducks all over the world are known to survive in a wide variety of habitats; however, all ducks have one universal need: water. The only threats of mother nature for duck hunting in South America are droughts which can dry up the potholes and shrink other important water sources for ducks.
Los Gauchos engages two lodges that hunt on private rice farms that have modern irrigation systems so that water is always available. The eastern side of Uruguay is typically "wet" during the duck hunting season - droughts are very uncommon. Argentina is the South American country that suffers from droughts that can really affect their standards of excellent waterfowl hunting.
