Question 1

When should I reserve a 2028 wingshooting trip to Argentina?

Accepted Answer

If you are considering AWS Lodge for 2028, we recommend starting the planning process early, particularly if you are traveling with a private group or want specific dates.

High-volume dove hunting can be planned throughout the year, while hunters interested in combining dove, duck and perdiz should focus on the Argentine winter Mixed Bag season.

You do not need to have every detail decided before contacting us. Send us your approximate travel window and group size, and we can recommend the best program and dates.

Question 5

for may, if we go mixed bag vs dove only, is it just adding a couple hours of duck hunting or does it really change the whole vibe of the trip and what we'd be doing daily

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question, and there's a significant difference between our High-Volume Dove program and the Mixed Bag experience, especially in May!

A Mixed Bag trip isn't just adding a couple of hours of duck hunting; it fundamentally changes the daily rhythm and the overall 'vibe' of your trip. While our High-Volume Dove program is focused on continuous, exhilarating dove shooting, the Mixed Bag program offers a diverse and comprehensive wingshooting adventure.

Here's how it typically looks:
*   **Mornings:** You'd usually start with an early morning duck hunt in one of our 32 prime private lagoons, followed by a delicious breakfast back at the lodge.
*   **Mid-day:** After some relaxation, you might head out for a perdiz hunt (upland bird) with pointing dogs, or continue with some high-volume dove shooting.
*   **Afternoons:** The afternoons often involve more high-volume dove shooting, ensuring you still get that incredible Argentine dove experience.

This blend allows you to experience the full spectrum of Argentine wingshooting, offering different challenges and environments throughout your stay. It truly elevates the trip into a comprehensive hunting safari, perfectly curated to showcase the best of what Argentina has to offer. Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, professional guides, and all logistics, so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience.

Since you're considering May, which is a prime time for our Mixed Bag program, I highly recommend checking specific availability as soon as possible. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.

Question 6

so for a mixed bag hunt in november compared to a dove-only trip, what's the actual difference in the hunting experience like how much duck hunting do we get versus doves

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question! Please note that AWS Lodge does not offer the Mixed Bag program for November trips — it runs only during the confirmed season, generally mid-May to mid-August. For a November trip, we exclusively offer our High-Volume Dove program. For reference, when the Mixed Bag program is booked in season, you get the best of both worlds: while high-volume dove shooting remains a cornerstone of the experience, we integrate dedicated hunts for other species, primarily ducks and perdiz (a quail-like bird).

*   **Duck Hunting:** This typically involves early morning hunts from blinds over decoys in our 32 prime private lagoons, which are 5-45 minutes from the lodge. We provide a dedicated bird boy per guest, ensuring a highly personalized experience. Duck hunting is known for its intense action and challenging shots.
*   **Perdiz Hunting:** This is a classic walked-up hunt with pointing dogs, offering a different pace and requiring precision.
*   **Dove Hunting:** You still enjoy incredible high-volume dove shooting, often in the afternoons, or as a complement to your duck and perdiz sessions.

The **Mixed Bag Program** allows you to experience the full spectrum of Argentina's wingshooting. The **duck/perdiz add-on is quoted upon request by our team**, which covers the specialized setup, guides, and access to these unique hunting areas. Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, professional guides, and handling all logistics like gun rentals and hunting licenses.

Question 7

for a december trip what's the actual difference in the hunting experience between booking mixed bag vs dove only like how much duck hunting do you actually get with mixed bag vs just doves

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and understanding the difference between our High-Volume Dove program and the Mixed Bag experience is key to tailoring your trip!

Our **High-Volume Dove** program is exclusively dedicated to the incredible dove shooting Argentina is famous for. You'll spend your days focused entirely on the high-flying action of doves, benefiting from our prime locations and expert bird boys.

The **Mixed Bag Program**, when booked in season, offers you the flexibility to combine the fantastic dove shooting with opportunities for other species, primarily ducks and perdiz. Please note, however, that the Mixed Bag program is not offered for December trips — it runs only during the confirmed season, generally mid-May to mid-August. For a December trip, we exclusively offer our High-Volume Dove program.

When booked within the confirmed season, the amount of duck hunting you get with a mixed bag trip is flexible and can be customized to your preference and the length of your stay, with an add-on fee for the inclusion of duck/perdiz hunting quoted upon request by our team.

Question 8

for a mixed bag trip in sep how much actual dedicated duck hunting time do we get compared to just doing dove only

Accepted Answer

For a mixed bag trip in September, you'll experience dedicated duck hunting sessions, typically concentrated in the early mornings to take advantage of optimal conditions. Our mixed bag program is meticulously designed to offer a thrilling combination of species, ensuring you get a comprehensive experience.

In a typical mixed bag itinerary, your mornings would often be dedicated to duck hunting (and/or perdiz), followed by high-volume dove shooting in the afternoons. This allows you to truly experience the best of all worlds. Compared to a dove-only trip, where you would exclusively hunt doves in both morning and afternoon sessions, the mixed bag replaces some of those dove sessions with the excitement and challenge of duck and perdiz hunting.

Unless you are booking a 1-day trip, our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details.

To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal, could you please share your email address? Also, which specific dates in September are you considering for your trip?

Question 9

for a september trip what's the actual difference between mixed bag and dove only hunting like how much duck hunting do you actually get with mixed bag vs just doves

Accepted Answer

For a September trip, the main difference between our High-Volume Dove program and the Mixed Bag program lies in the variety of species you'll pursue.

Our **High-Volume Dove** program is exclusively dedicated to the incredible dove shooting Argentina is famous for. You'll enjoy multiple daily sessions focusing on the abundant dove population, offering an unparalleled shooting experience with literally thousands of doves.

The **Mixed Bag** program, when booked in season, offers a more diverse hunting adventure. In addition to the spectacular high-volume dove shooting, it allows you to also target ducks and perdiz. However, please note the Mixed Bag program is not offered for September trips — it runs only during the confirmed season, generally mid-May to mid-August. For a September trip, we exclusively offer our High-Volume Dove program.

Question 10

can you give me a breakdown of the typical daily schedule for a january duck hunt

Accepted Answer

AWS Lodge does not run Duck hunts in January — Duck sessions are offered only through a confirmed Mixed Bag program during the normal season, generally mid-May to mid-August. For January trips, we exclusively offer our High-Volume Dove program. For reference, here is what a typical Duck hunt day looks like when booked within the Mixed Bag season:

*   **Early Morning (Pre-Dawn):** Your day begins with a gentle wake-up call, followed by fresh coffee, juice, and a light breakfast spread. Our team will have your gear ready.
*   **Morning Hunt (Dawn onwards):** You'll head out with your professional guide in our comfortable Unimogs or Jeeps to one of our 32 prime private lagoons, typically a short 5-45 minute drive from the lodge. Each hunter is accompanied by a dedicated bird boy to assist with everything you need. You'll settle into your blind for an incredible morning of duck hunting, experiencing the abundant waterfowl of Argentina.
*   **Mid-Day (Late Morning/Early Afternoon):** After an exhilarating morning in the field, you'll return to the lodge. A lavish brunch or lunch awaits, featuring gourmet cuisine prepared by our chefs, often including fresh game from the day's hunt. This is followed by time for relaxation, a siesta, or enjoying the lodge amenities.
*   **Afternoon Options:** While ducks are mostly a morning pursuit, the afternoons are often dedicated to high-volume dove shooting, which is an incredible experience on its own. Alternatively, you can opt for a perdiz hunt (an add-on of quoted upon request by our team). Our all-inclusive multi-day packages ensure you have a variety of wingshooting opportunities.
*   **Evening (Late Afternoon/Night):** As the sun sets, you'll gather back at the lodge for a delightful happy hour with an open bar, featuring premium spirits and appetizers. This leads into a gourmet dinner, often a traditional Argentine asado (BBQ) or another exquisite culinary creation, paired with fine wines. The evening concludes with relaxing by the fire, sharing stories from the day, and preparing for the next adventure.

Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details.
