Q: 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

AWS EXPERT REPLY
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, on the other hand, offers you the flexibility to combine the fantastic dove shooting with opportunities for other species, primarily ducks and perdiz. For a December trip, this means you can choose to incorporate duck hunting into your itinerary. Typically, guests opting for mixed bag will dedicate mornings to duck hunting, enjoying the unique challenge of waterfowl, and then transition to high-volume dove shooting in the afternoons.

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. When you choose the Mixed Bag option, there's an add-on fee of quoted upon request by our team to cover the inclusion of duck/perdiz hunting in your itinerary, allowing you to experience both worlds. This means you're not locked into a fixed number of duck hunts but rather have the option to integrate them as you wish.

To help me tailor the best information for you and potentially send you a custom proposal for December, could you please share your email address? Also, how many hunters are you planning for your group?

*(AWS Expert Note: Please be aware that our Mixed Bag programs, including Duck and Perdiz hunting, strictly run during the Argentine winter from mid-May to mid-August. For trips in December, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*

"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."
