Benelli

I started hunting waterfowl with an original H & K Benelli Super Black Eagle on the St. Lawrence River mud flats, a particularly inhospitable place for a semi-automatic shotgun. Thousands of rounds later, my Black Eagle was still like a brand new one. Over the years I switched to the SBE2 and SBE3, with always the same irreproachable result. No other firearm equals the reliability and simplicity of the Benelli SBE family

He has been an outfitter since 1994 and is considered by many in the industry as an authority on hunting waterfowl, he never rests on his laurels and continually comes up with better techniques by which to hunt them. In 2011 Cabela’s selected Claudio as their second ever Canadian Pro Staff and just this year, Claudio was named a Cabela’s Ambassador, a designation only a very select group of outdoorsmen have accomplished. Another of Claudio’s accolades was being awarded the prestigious WISE Industry Conservation Award; this award is given to an outstanding ambassador in the outfitting industry who demonstrates passion and commitment to wildlife and the cause of conservation. His most recent project is hosting Claudio Ongaro’s Hired to Hunt, which airs on Wild TV. It features some of the best waterfowl hunting in North America.
