Q: what's the typical daily schedule like for an august hunt, from breakfast to last hunt of the day
Welcome to AWS Lodge! An August hunt with us offers a truly unforgettable experience, meticulously planned from dawn till dusk to maximize your hunting success and comfort. Here’s a typical daily schedule:
• Morning (Pre-Hunt): Your day begins with a gourmet breakfast featuring fresh pastries, fruits, eggs, and coffee. Our professional guides will ensure you're well-fed and ready. Soon after, you'll embark on a short, comfortable drive (typically 5-45 minutes in our fleet of Unimogs or Jeeps) to one of our 32 prime private lagoons or dove fields, perfectly scouted for the best action.
• Morning Hunt: The morning hunt typically starts early, focusing on high-volume dove shooting, or for those on a mixed bag program, duck or perdiz hunting, depending on your chosen package and the morning's plan. You'll have a dedicated bird boy assisting you throughout.
• Mid-Day (Lunch & Siesta): Around midday, we pause for a luxurious field lunch. This is more than just a meal; it's an experience in itself, often featuring a traditional Argentine asado (barbecue) with gourmet salads, fine wines, and delicious desserts. You'll have time to relax, share stories, and even enjoy a siesta before the afternoon's activities.
• Afternoon Hunt: Rejuvenated, you'll return to the field for the afternoon hunt, continuing the high-volume dove action or pursuing other species as per your itinerary. Our guides are always on hand to ensure you're in the best position for success.
• Evening (Lodge Experience): As the sun sets, you'll return to the lodge, where a welcoming open bar awaits with premium beverages and appetizers. This is a perfect time to unwind, share the day's highlights with fellow hunters, and enjoy the luxurious amenities. A multi-course gourmet dinner, prepared by our talented chef and featuring local delicacies and fine wines, is served, rounding off a perfect day of hunting and relaxation.
