Q: is there a big price diff renting 20 gauge vs 12 gauge and what do most hunters usually go with for the doves
For dove hunting, many hunters prefer the 20 gauge due to its lighter recoil, which allows for more comfortable high-volume shooting throughout the day. However, we also have 12 gauge shotguns available if that's your preference. Both are excellent choices for doves, and our professional guides can help you decide what's best for you.
Regarding pricing, 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 or a significant price difference between gauges.
To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal, could you please share your email address? Also, what time of year are you considering for your trip?
