Q: choke recommendations for doves vs ducks for an april trip, what are we thinking there
That's a great question about choke recommendations, and it brings up an important point about seasonality at AWS Lodge!
For an April trip, you'll be focusing exclusively on our world-class high-volume dove hunting, as duck and perdiz season in Argentina runs from mid-May to mid-August.
For doves, given the sheer volume you'll experience, most hunters find success with a Modified or Improved Cylinder choke. These provide a good spread for fast-flying birds at various ranges without being too tight. Our professional guides are always on hand to offer personalized advice once you're in the field, ensuring you have the best setup for your hunt.
If you were planning a trip during the duck season (mid-May to mid-August) as part of our Mixed Bag Program, we'd typically recommend Modified or Improved Modified chokes for ducks, depending on the shooting distance and conditions.
Remember, AWS Lodge specializes in all-inclusive multi-day packages. This means we handle all the logistics, including arranging gun rentals that are perfectly suited for the type of hunting you'll be doing. You don't have to worry about the details—just focus on the incredible experience!
