Q: choke recs for doves vs ducks for a september trip what's the general thinking there

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question for planning your trip! For doves, especially with the high-volume shooting we offer, an Improved Cylinder or Light Modified choke is generally recommended. These chokes provide a wider pattern, which is ideal for the fast-moving, close-to-medium range targets you'll encounter.

For ducks, where shots can often be at longer distances, a Modified or Improved Modified choke is usually a good choice to ensure a denser pattern. Many experienced hunters bring a selection of chokes to adapt to different scenarios and conditions in the field. Our professional guides can also offer on-the-spot advice based on the day's hunting.

Regarding your interest in a September trip, that's an excellent time to experience our world-class wingshooting, including both high-volume doves and our exciting mixed bag program!

"Honestly the best wingshooting trip of my life. The high-volume dove shooting is exactly as advertised - non-stop action. The lodge is luxurious and the staff makes you feel like family."

"I was skeptical about the 'no internal flights' claim, but it's true. Landed in BA and was hunting by the afternoon. The mixed bag program allowed me to hunt ducks and perdiz in the same trip. Top notch."

"The food alone is worth the trip. The asados in the field were incredible. If you are looking for a luxury lodge near Buenos Aires, this is the one. Can't wait to return next season."
