Q: what choke recs for doves vs ducks for november trip

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question, and it shows you're thinking strategically about your hunt! At AWS Lodge, our experienced guides are dedicated to ensuring you have the optimal setup for an unparalleled wingshooting experience. They will be on hand to provide personalized recommendations based on the specific field conditions, bird behavior, and your individual shooting style.

However, as a general guideline for your November trip:

For high-volume dove hunting, where birds are often fast and abundant, many of our guests find an Improved Cylinder (IC) or Modified (MOD) choke to be ideal. These chokes offer a wider pattern, which is highly effective for quick target acquisition and connecting with multiple birds in the exciting, continuous action we're known for.
For duck hunting, which is part of our acclaimed mixed-bag program, shots can often be at slightly longer ranges, especially over our private lagoons. Here, a Modified (MOD) or even a Full (FULL) choke is typically recommended to deliver a denser pattern, ensuring maximum effectiveness on decoying ducks.

Our all-inclusive multi-day packages ensure that every aspect of your trip, including expert guidance on equipment and field logistics, is seamlessly managed for you. We provide a truly private and luxurious experience from the moment you arrive.

Since you're planning for November, I highly recommend connecting with our human team right away to secure your preferred dates. 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 for those specific November dates and send you exact pricing for your group!

"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."
