Q: what's the real difference between a mixed bag and dove only hunt like for the number of birds and also the overall experience
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question, and understanding the difference is key to choosing your ideal Argentina wingshooting adventure!
At AWS Lodge, we specialize in delivering unparalleled experiences, whether you're focused solely on high-volume doves or prefer a more diverse hunting trip.
Here's the real difference:
1. High-Volume Doves Program:
* Number of Birds: This program is for the serious dove shooter! Argentina is world-renowned for its incredible dove population, often described as an "endless sky" of birds. In a high-volume dove hunt, you'll experience literally thousands of doves in a single day, with no limits. It's a non-stop shooting action that's truly unmatched anywhere else in the world.
* Overall Experience: The focus here is purely on the exhilarating action of dove shooting. You'll have a dedicated bird boy keeping your gun loaded, ensuring you maximize your shooting time. It's an intense, high-adrenaline experience perfect for honing your shooting skills and enjoying the sheer volume of birds.
2. Mixed Bag Program:
* Number of Birds: While you'll still experience fantastic dove shooting, the Mixed Bag program diversifies your targets. This means you'll typically hunt a *combination* of species, such as high-volume doves, ducks, and/or perdiz (partridge). The number of doves shot might be slightly less than a pure dove-only trip on a given day, as time is allocated to other species, but you'll still have ample opportunities.
* Overall Experience: This program offers a richer, more varied hunting adventure. You get to experience the thrill of dove shooting, but also the challenge and unique environments of duck hunting (often from blinds over decoys in our private lagoons) and the classic upland bird hunt for perdiz with pointing dogs. It's perfect for hunters who want to experience the full spectrum of Argentina's incredible wingshooting opportunities and enjoy different hunting styles.
Both programs offer our signature all-inclusive luxury experience, including gourmet meals, open bar, and top-tier lodging just 2 hours from Buenos Aires (EZE). You'll have professional guides and a dedicated bird boy to ensure every aspect of your trip is seamless.
To help me tailor the best information for you and potentially send you a custom proposal, could you please share your email address? Also, what time of year are you considering for your trip, and how many hunters would be in your group?
