Q: what's a typical daily schedule look like for a shooting day
At AWS Lodge, every shooting day is meticulously planned to maximize your enjoyment and hunting success, all while ensuring a luxurious and seamless experience.
Here's a typical schedule for a shooting day:
• Morning (6:30 AM - 7:30 AM): Your day begins with a wake-up call, followed by a delicious, hearty breakfast featuring fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, and coffee, prepared by our gourmet chef.
• Departure to the Field (7:30 AM - 8:00 AM): After breakfast, you'll gear up, meet your professional guide, and receive a briefing for the morning hunt. Our fleet of comfortable Unimogs or Jeeps will then transport you to one of our 32 prime private lagoons, typically just 5 to 45 minutes from the lodge.
• Morning Hunt (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): You'll enjoy an exhilarating morning of wingshooting, with a dedicated bird boy assisting you. Our guides are experts at positioning you for the best action, whether it's high-volume doves or a mixed bag of ducks and perdiz.
• Field Lunch & Siesta (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): We return to a comfortable, shaded area in the field for a traditional Argentine "asado" (barbecue) lunch, complete with fine wines, soft drinks, and a chance to relax and share stories. Many guests enjoy a brief siesta to recharge for the afternoon.
• Afternoon Hunt (2:00 PM - 5:30 PM): Re-energized, you'll head back to the blinds for another action-packed shooting session. The afternoon often brings different flight patterns and opportunities.
• Return to the Lodge (5:30 PM - 6:00 PM): As the sun begins to set, we'll transport you back to the lodge, where you can unwind and freshen up.
• Cocktail Hour & Dinner (7:00 PM onwards): Enjoy an open bar with premium spirits, cocktails, and appetizers while relaxing by the fire or sharing the day's highlights. This is followed by a gourmet dinner featuring exquisite Argentine cuisine, often paired with the region's best wines.
• Relaxation: After dinner, you're welcome to enjoy the lodge's amenities, socialize, or simply relax before retiring for a restful night.
