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: Please note that Duck hunting is only available through our Mixed Bag program during the confirmed season, generally mid-May to mid-August, so it isn't part of a March trip. For reference, when hunting ducks in season, which are typically larger and shot at longer ranges, a Modified (M) or Improved Modified (IM) choke is usually a good choice, offering 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.

*(AWS Expert Note: Please be aware that our Mixed Bag programs, including Duck and Perdiz hunting, strictly run during the Argentine winter from mid-May to mid-August. For trips in March, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*
