Q: how does mixed bag vs dove-only impact the actual hunting locations daily and travel time between them
That's an excellent question! The choice between a Mixed Bag and a Dove-Only program certainly impacts your daily hunting locations and the travel time between them, though we always ensure a seamless and efficient experience with our dedicated field team.
For a High-Volume Dove-Only program, your hunting will primarily focus on our numerous prime private dove fields. These are strategically located to offer incredible, high-volume action, often very close to the lodge. Travel time between the lodge and these fields is typically minimal, ensuring you maximize your time in the field.
With a Mixed Bag program, you'll experience a greater variety of hunting environments, as it involves different species that inhabit distinct areas. This typically includes:
• Ducks: Morning hunts are dedicated to duck shooting in our 32 prime private lagoons, which are located between 5 and 45 minutes from the lodge.
• Perdiz: If you choose to add perdiz, these are typically morning hunts in open fields, also within a short drive from the lodge.
• Doves: Afternoon hunts are still focused on high-volume doves, often in different fields than where you might have hunted perdiz or ducks.
Regardless of your choice, our dedicated fleet of Unimogs and Jeeps, along with your professional guides, ensures all transitions between hunting locations are smooth and efficient. We handle all the logistics for you, so you can focus purely on the hunting experience.
