Q: for september what choke recommendations do you have for doves versus ducks, like what's optimal for each
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question as choke selection can significantly impact your success in the field!
For high-volume dove shooting, where shots are often fast and at varying distances, we generally recommend more open chokes. An Improved Cylinder (IC) or Light Modified (LM) choke is typically optimal. These allow for a wider shot pattern, increasing your chances of connecting with fast-moving doves and making follow-up shots quicker.
For duck hunting, which usually involves larger birds and often longer shots, a tighter pattern is more effective. We suggest a Modified (M) or Improved Modified (IM) choke. Some hunters even opt for a Full choke, especially for longer pass shooting. These tighter chokes ensure better pellet density at longer ranges, which is crucial for waterfowl.
At AWS Lodge, we specialize in providing a completely all-inclusive luxury hunting experience. This means we handle all the logistics, including arranging top-quality gun rentals suited for both dove and duck hunting, and ensuring you have the right ammunition and setup for your specific preferences. Our professional guides are always on hand to assist with choke selection and any other field-related questions to maximize your experience.
Since you're planning for September, which is a fantastic time for both doves and ducks, I highly recommend reaching out to 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.
