Q: for june trip duck and dove combo, what's the usual choke setup, like how different are they
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For a duck and dove combo trip in June, you'll typically adjust your choke setup depending on the target.
• For Duck Hunting: Ducks are generally hunted over decoys, often requiring longer shots, and they are tougher birds. Therefore, tighter chokes like Modified or Improved Modified are commonly used to ensure denser patterns at longer ranges.
• For Dove Hunting: Doves are fast, erratic flyers, and shots are often taken at closer to medium ranges. More open chokes like Skeet, Improved Cylinder, or even Light Modified are preferred to provide a wider shot pattern, making it easier to hit these agile birds.
During a combo hunt, many hunters will either carry multiple barrels with different chokes, change chokes between species, or opt for a versatile setup like an Improved Modified that can perform reasonably well for both, although it's a compromise. Our professional guides are excellent at advising on the best choke setups for the specific conditions you'll encounter during your hunt.
