Q: what's the price difference between renting a 20 gauge versus a 12 gauge for the november trip and is one more popular for the high volume dove shoots

AWS EXPERT REPLY
For our multi-day packages at AWS Lodge, gun rentals are seamlessly managed as part of your all-inclusive experience, so there isn't a separate price difference between renting a 20 gauge or a 12 gauge. Our focus is on providing a comprehensive, worry-free trip, where all the logistics, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, are handled for you. These are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to concern yourself with the individual details.

Regarding popularity for high-volume dove shoots, both 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotguns are excellent choices, and we have plenty of both available. Many hunters prefer the 12 gauge for its broad availability of ammunition and its classic feel, while others opt for the 20 gauge due to its lighter recoil and ease of handling over extended shooting periods. It truly comes down to personal preference and comfort.

To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal for your November trip, could you please share your email address? Also, are you traveling solo or with a group, and do you have an approximate number of hunters in mind?

"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."
