One interesting dynamic about some of the places you can go in South America is that you’ll find that they push or encourage hunters to get competitive and “praise” who in your group shoots the most in a day as you come away talking about shooting 2,000 times or some other amazing amount. While no doubt that can be an extraordinary opportunity, keep in mind the outfitter may have an ulterior motive as the more the hunters get drawn into the competitive angle of all this—the more money the outfitter makes, as remember, you’ll be buying the shells at a premium price from them. Gringos thinking they should measure success by the amount of shots, I suspect, has the outfitters laughing all the way to the bank…. 😀
My recommendation is ignore any competitive push and just have fun.
