Q: whats the rental price difference between a 20 and 12 gauge for may and is one more popular for duck hunting

AWS EXPERT REPLY
At AWS Lodge, we specialize in providing luxurious, all-inclusive multi-day hunting packages. This means that details like gun rentals, whether for a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun, are seamlessly managed as part of your comprehensive itinerary, rather than being priced as individual à la carte items. Our goal is to ensure you have everything you need for an exceptional hunt without worrying about separate rental costs.

Regarding your question about popularity for duck hunting, both 12 and 20 gauge shotguns are excellent choices, and we have both available. The 12 gauge is often favored for its versatility and wider range of ammunition options, providing a bit more reach and stopping power. The 20 gauge, being lighter with less recoil, is often preferred by hunters who appreciate quicker maneuverability and a lighter carry, especially during a full day of hunting. Our professional guides will gladly assist you in choosing the best fit for your comfort and hunting style upon your arrival.

Please note that for our mixed bag program, which includes duck hunting, there is an add-on of quoted upon request by our team to cover the additional logistics and permits.

Since you're considering May, which is an excellent time for duck hunting in Argentina, I highly recommend checking our availability and connecting with our human team for the most precise details and a tailored proposal.

While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory. If you share your email address with me right now, I will have our human team do a real-time manual check and send you exact pricing for your group!

"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."
