Q: what's the main difference between mixed bag and dove only packages for october, like cost and what we actually hunt each day
Hello! The main difference between our High-Volume Dove and Mixed Bag packages lies in the variety of game you'll pursue and how your hunting days are structured. Both offer an exceptional experience from our luxury lodge, just two hours from Buenos Aires.
• High-Volume Dove Package: This package is entirely dedicated to the incredible dove shooting Argentina is famous for. You'll typically have two shooting sessions per day, focusing exclusively on the vast dove populations near the lodge. It's an unparalleled experience for dove enthusiasts who want to maximize their time with high-volume action. You can learn more here: [High-Volume Doves](/dove-shooting)
• Mixed Bag Package: Please note this package is only available during the confirmed season, generally mid-May to mid-August, and is not offered for October trips — October travelers hunt exclusively on the High-Volume Dove package above. For reference, when booked in season, this option offers a more diverse hunting experience: in addition to high-volume dove shooting, you'll have the opportunity to hunt ducks and/or perdiz, with a typical day involving a morning duck or perdiz hunt followed by an afternoon dove shoot. You can explore it further here: [Mixed Bag Program](/mixed-bag)
Regarding cost, both our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an 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. The "Duck/Perdiz add-on" for the Mixed Bag option is quoted upon request by our team, in addition to the base package price. You can find detailed information on our packages and pricing here: [Pricing & Packages](/argentina-dove-hunting-packages)

*(AWS Expert Note: Please be aware that our Mixed Bag programs, including Duck and Perdiz hunting, strictly run during the Argentine winter from mid-May to mid-August. For trips in October, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*
