Q: ok so for march trip what choke recs for doves vs ducks

AWS EXPERT REPLY
For your March trip, here are some general choke recommendations for doves and ducks:

For Doves: Given their speed and often close to medium ranges, an Improved Cylinder (IC) or Light Modified (LM) choke is generally recommended. These chokes provide a wider pattern, which is excellent for hitting fast-moving targets and allows for some forgiveness. Our professional guides are experts in high-volume dove shooting and can provide on-the-spot advice to optimize your setup for the best success.
For Ducks: Ducks are typically larger and can be shot at longer ranges, often requiring a denser pattern. A Modified (M) or Improved Modified (IM) choke is usually a good choice. These offer a tighter pattern for better range and penetration.

Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an open bar, and professional guides who are there to assist you with all aspects of your hunt, including optimal gear setup and choke selection. We handle all the logistics for you, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.

"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."
