Q: so for a mixed bag hunt in november compared to a dove-only trip, what's the actual difference in the hunting experience like how much duck hunting do we get versus doves

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question! The difference between a High-Volume Dove trip and a Mixed Bag hunt at AWS Lodge, especially for November, lies in the variety and structure of your hunting days.

For a Mixed Bag hunt, you get the best of both worlds. While high-volume dove shooting remains a cornerstone of the experience, we integrate dedicated hunts for other species, primarily ducks and perdiz (a quail-like bird).

Duck Hunting: This typically involves early morning hunts from blinds over decoys in our 32 prime private lagoons, which are 5-45 minutes from the lodge. We provide a dedicated bird boy per guest, ensuring a highly personalized experience. Duck hunting is known for its intense action and challenging shots.
Perdiz Hunting: This is a classic walked-up hunt with pointing dogs, offering a different pace and requiring precision.
Dove Hunting: You still enjoy incredible high-volume dove shooting, often in the afternoons, or as a complement to your duck and perdiz sessions.

The Mixed Bag Program allows you to experience the full spectrum of Argentina's wingshooting. The duck/perdiz add-on is quoted upon request by our team, which covers the specialized setup, guides, and access to these unique hunting areas. Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, professional guides, and handling all logistics like gun rentals and hunting licenses.

"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."
