Q: what's the typical amount for tipping the bird boys and lodge staff for a december trip

AWS EXPERT REPLY
It's customary to tip the bird boys and lodge staff to acknowledge their hard work and dedication in making your hunting experience exceptional. While tipping is always at your discretion and should reflect the quality of service you receive, a general guideline for bird boys is typically around $50-$70 per hunter, per day, and for the lodge staff (including chefs, housekeepers, and servers), around $200-$300 per hunter for the duration of a typical 3-4 day trip. This can be adjusted based on your personal experience.

Since you're considering a December trip, we'd be delighted to help you plan an unforgettable experience. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.

"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."
