Q: for a sep duck trip is it better to rent a 20ga or 12ga from yall or does it just depend on the hunter
For a duck trip, the choice between a 12ga and a 20ga largely depends on the hunter's personal preference, comfort with recoil, and shooting style. Many duck hunters prefer a 12ga for its versatility, wider range of ammunition options, and typically greater knockdown power, especially for larger ducks. However, a 20ga can be an excellent choice for those who prefer a lighter gun with less recoil, and it's certainly capable of taking ducks effectively with the right loads. We have both options available for rental at AWS Lodge.
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.
