Whether you want to stay in the field all day or return to the estancia for a siesta is up to you. You will soon feel you are a friend of the family, not just a client. U ruguay is a developing peaceful country of about 3.3 million inhabitants. The government is stable, and the population is pro American. No special personal safety measures, other than common sense, are required, as the crime rates are extremely low, and the drug problems encountered elsewhere are virtually nonexistent there.
Agriculture is devoted primarily to cattle and sheep raising.
The area Dave and his clients hunt would remind you of eastern South Dakota or Nebraska with rolling pasture, broken by grain fields. Where there are planted crops there are large concentrations of birds. Visiting there is like stepping back in time. Horse drawn carts share the roads with model T's, and an occasional Mercedes. While they speak Spanish, they communicate the international language of hospitality.
