Q: what's the highest number of shells a single hunter has gone through in a day for doves and what's a realistic expectation for our group's shell count

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question about the intensity of our high-volume dove shooting! While we've seen individual hunters go through truly staggering numbers of shells in a day – some even thousands – it ultimately comes down to each hunter's preference and how much they want to shoot. Our fields offer an unlimited supply of doves, so the only limit is your trigger finger!

A realistic expectation for a group's shell count varies widely, but it's common for hunters to go through anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 shells or more per day, given the incredible volume of doves. We ensure you'll have all the shells you need to fully enjoy the experience.

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 added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details. Shell prices vary depending on market conditions, so we recommend confirming the exact price directly with our team closer to your trip.
