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

AWS EXPERT REPLY
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.

"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."
