ARGENTINA WATERFOWL HUNTING FROM ONE FULL-SERVICE LODGE

How Does Duck Hunting Work at AWS Lodge?

AWS Lodge offers seasonal Duck hunting as part of structured Mixed Bag programs rather than as a disconnected Duck-only morning. The usual planning window is approximately mid-May through mid-August, commonly around May 15 through August 15, subject to the provincial dates, authorizations, limits, water conditions, weather, field access and written itinerary in effect for the selected season.

A common Mixed Bag day uses the morning for Ducks and the afternoon for Doves. Other mornings may be assigned to Perdiz, while the exact sequence is confirmed for the selected program and may change according to current scouting, safety and operating conditions.

How Duck is soldThrough a confirmed Mixed Bag program, not as an isolated standalone field product.
Usual planning windowApproximately mid-May through mid-August, subject to current regulations.

MORNING WATERFOWL, AFTERNOON VARIETY

See the Duck Hunting Experience

Duck sessions are coordinated around the selected wetland, current water conditions, weather, bird movement, provincial authorizations and the confirmed program. Blind style, transport and retrieval methods may differ from one location or date to another.

Many sessions are arranged from dry or semi-dry blinds or boats, so waders are not typically required under the standard setup. Final clothing and equipment guidance is confirmed for the selected dates.

The objective is a safe, well-organized morning integrated into a complete Mixed Bag itinerary—not a guaranteed species list, bag number or finishing time.
