Q: for november trip is there a price difference to rent a 20 gauge vs a 12 gauge and which is more popular for dove shooting

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question for planning your high-volume dove trip!

Regarding gun rentals, whether you prefer a 20 gauge or a 12 gauge, these are standard fees seamlessly managed by our team upon booking as part of our all-inclusive experience. We ensure you have the best equipment for your trip without any hassle, and there isn't a significant price difference between the gauges for rental purposes.

For high-volume dove shooting, the 20 gauge is very popular among our guests. Its lighter recoil allows for more comfortable and sustained shooting, which is a significant advantage when you're shooting thousands of doves over multiple days. Many find they can shoot more accurately and enjoy the experience longer with a 20 gauge. However, we also have excellent 12 gauge options available if that's your preference.

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.

Since you're considering a November trip, I recommend checking our real-time availability and contacting our human team directly to discuss your specific dates and preferences. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory. If you share your email address with me right now, I will have our human team do a real-time manual check and send you exact pricing for your group!

"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."
