Question 3

choke recommendations for doves vs ducks

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question for optimizing your hunt! Selecting the right choke can significantly impact your success, especially when targeting different birds like doves and ducks.

For **High-Volume Dove Shooting**, which we offer year-round, you'll generally want more open chokes. Doves are fast, erratic flyers, and shots are often taken at closer to medium ranges.
*   **Improved Cylinder (IC)** is a very popular choice.
*   **Skeet** or **Light Modified (LM)** can also be excellent, providing a wider pattern that's forgiving for quick, close shots.
These chokes allow for a broader shot pattern, increasing your chances of connecting with these quick birds in our world-class high-volume dove hunting fields.

For **Duck Hunting**, which is part of our Mixed Bag Program and runs from mid-May to mid-August, you typically need tighter chokes. Ducks are often shot at longer ranges, either over decoys or as pass shooting targets, and they are generally tougher birds.
*   **Modified (MOD)** is a versatile choice for many duck hunting scenarios.
*   **Improved Modified (IM)** or even **Full (FULL)** might be preferred for longer shots, especially if you're pass shooting or expect birds to be at the edge of your range.
Our professional team ensures you're placed in prime locations, and you won't need waders as our bird boys handle all retrievals, allowing you to focus purely on the shot.

Regardless of your preference, our expert guides are always on hand to assist with gun setup and provide recommendations based on the day's conditions and your shooting style. If you plan to rent guns through us, our team seamlessly handles all the logistics.

Question 7

choke recommendations for doves vs ducks

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question for any wingshooter! Choosing the right choke makes a significant difference in your success and enjoyment, especially with the diverse hunting experiences we offer at AWS Lodge.

For **High-Volume Dove Shooting**, which is available year-round here in Argentina, we generally recommend more open chokes. The doves come in fast and in incredible numbers, often at close to medium ranges.
*   **Skeet (SK)** or **Improved Cylinder (IC)** are fantastic choices for your primary barrel. They provide a wider pattern, allowing you to hit more birds consistently, especially when you're shooting hundreds or even thousands of shells in a day.
*   Some hunters might use a **Light Modified (LM)** for the second shot if they anticipate slightly longer shots.
You can learn more about our High-Volume Doves program here.

For **Duck Hunting**, which is part of our Mixed Bag Program (and available only from mid-May to mid-August), you'll typically want tighter chokes. Ducks are larger, tougher birds, and shots are often taken at longer ranges as they decoy into our lagoons.
*   **Modified (M)** is a versatile choice for ducks.
*   **Full (F)** or **Improved Modified (IM)** can be very effective, especially for pass shooting or when birds are holding back at the edges of the decoys.
It's worth noting that for our duck hunts, our professional staff and dedicated bird boys handle all the hard work of retrieving birds, so you don't need to worry about wading into the water. Guests are placed in comfortable, dry blinds and typically only need waterproof knee-high boots.

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, and are you interested in doves, or perhaps our Mixed Bag program that includes ducks and perdiz?

Question 9

thinking about our march trip, is it usually better to fly into cordoba (cor) or buenos aires (eze) for getting to the lodge, like which is less hassle for transfers

Accepted Answer

For your trip to AWS Lodge, flying into **Buenos Aires (EZE)** is definitely the less hassle option and what we highly recommend. Our lodge is conveniently located just two hours from EZE, meaning you won't need any additional domestic flights. This allows our guests to land, transfer to the lodge, and often be out hunting high-volume doves the very same afternoon!

Flying into Cordoba (COR) would require an additional domestic flight to reach our region, making the journey much longer and more complicated for our specific location. You can learn more about the difference in travel with our guide: [Cordoba vs. Buenos Aires Hunting](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/cordoba-vs-buenos-aires-hunting).

Regarding transfers, round-trip airport transfers from EZE directly to the lodge are typically estimated around $500 to $600 per truck, but this is subject to market variations. Our human team will confirm the exact transportation cost for your specific dates.
