Q: for december trip what's the actual diff between mixed bag and dove only like what species we talkin and is it a big price jump

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question, especially for a December trip!

The core difference between our High-Volume Dove and Mixed Bag programs lies in the species you'll be targeting:

High-Volume Dove Program: This program is entirely dedicated to the incredible dove shooting experience Argentina is famous for. You'll enjoy unlimited doves, often described as the highest volume dove shooting in the world, with professional guides ensuring a fantastic experience.
Mixed Bag Program: This takes the high-volume dove shooting and adds the thrill of hunting other species — but please note this option is only available during the confirmed Mixed Bag season, generally mid-May to mid-August, and is not offered for December trips. When booked in season, we typically add Duck and/or Perdiz hunting to your itinerary, allowing for a more varied hunting experience that combines the fast-paced action of doves with the challenge of waterfowl or upland birds.

Regarding the "big price jump," our multi-day packages are designed to be completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an open bar, and professional guides. When adding duck and/or perdiz to your itinerary, there is an additional fee of quoted upon request by our team for the duck/perdiz add-on. This ensures you get to experience the diverse hunting opportunities Argentina has to offer, all seamlessly arranged by our team.

*(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!)*
