Q: thinking about july trip, is there a price diff if i rent a 20-gauge vs a 12-gauge and what do most guys usually prefer for duck hunting
That's a great question! For duck hunting, many of our guests prefer a 12-gauge shotgun due to its versatility and stopping power, especially in varying conditions. However, a 20-gauge can also be very effective and is often favored for its lighter recoil and easier handling. It truly comes down to personal preference.
Regarding gun rentals, 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 standard fees added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details or a price difference between gauges for rental.
Since you're thinking about a trip in July, that's a fantastic time for mixed bag hunting, including ducks! While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory. If you share your email address with me right now, I will have our human team do a real-time manual check and send you exact pricing for your group! Could you also let me know how many hunters are in your group?
