Venezuela
 
With the possibility of Venezuela being American travel friendly again it has me thinking anbout possibly going there . Has anyone ever been down there for dove - pigeons - ducks ?

The nightmare of Venezuela will continue for years to come. I cannot see any safe travel for “Argentina “ style hunting trips for a long time, if ever! Maduro was the just the visible head of the problems there. There are countless others just like him that have to be dealt with.Its just the beginning of a very long process to get that country back to being a democratic nation with the rights and freedoms every citizen deserves!

I didn’t ask anyone’s opinion on the political situation . I asked if anyone had been there in the past to shoot birds .

I've been to Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina. I would return to Argentina or Uruguay but not Colombia. Colombia and Venezuela are next door, so I assume somewhat similar. Don't know if that helps. Colombia was a dirty place

I'm following the opening of Angola and possibly Kenya for hunting. I also have my eye on a lodge in Argentina a lot of friends rave about.

Well, Mills, since you've never hunted in Venezuela, Craig probably won't like your answer either. He only wants to hear from people who have hunted there! I will risk being chastised again by saying that guns were basically taken away from the people quite some time ago, and are strictly controlled by the government, actually by the military. I suspect there's been very little hunting for a long long time.

I bet the fishing would be worth exploring.

And this is the definition of a communist dictatorship - I suspect any money you might spend there will be confiscated by the government… and that ‘policy’ will endure for many, many years, despite the intervention of the USA.

There are some countries that need a dictator to hold it all together. Hopefully, that will never apply to us

Third world countries are third world countries because they are inhabited and run by third world people. Quite simple.
