Q: for a january trip with my wife whats the actual difference between mixed bag and dove only hunting, like how much less dove hunting would we do on a mixed bag trip
January trips at AWS Lodge are Dove-only rather than Mixed Bag. The normal Mixed Bag season, including Duck and Perdiz sessions, generally runs from mid-May to mid-August, subject to current regulations, field conditions, and the confirmed written program. Pigeon hunting is not year-round; it is generally considered from September through March and only when specifically included and confirmed in the written itinerary. It is not offered as a separate standalone program. For a January trip with a non-hunting spouse, the final proposal should also confirm the available lodge activities and any requested observing arrangements.
