Question 1

Accepted Answer

In January, which is summer in Argentina, early mornings at AWS Lodge can be quite pleasant. You can expect temperatures to range from **60-70°F (15-21°C)**, offering a comfortable start to your hunting day. As the day progresses, it warms up significantly, often reaching **85-95°F (29-35°C)** by midday, so light clothing is recommended.

The cooler mornings are perfect for enjoying the start of your high-volume dove or mixed bag hunt.

Question 2

choke recommendations for doves vs ducks

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and choke selection can definitely enhance your hunting experience!

For **doves**, which are fast-flying birds typically shot at closer to medium ranges, a more open choke is generally preferred. **Skeet, Improved Cylinder (IC), or Light Modified (LM)** chokes are excellent choices. They provide a wider pattern, increasing your chances of hitting these agile targets without over-constricting the shot.

For **ducks**, especially those taken over decoys or at longer ranges, you'll want a tighter pattern to ensure sufficient pellet energy and density for a clean kill. **Modified (M), Improved Modified (IM), or Full (F)** chokes are commonly recommended. The specific choice might depend on your hunting scenario, the type of ducks, and the effective range you anticipate.

Question 5

so is dove hunting truly year-round down there or are there certain months that are better or worse

Accepted Answer

Yes, dove hunting in Argentina is truly a remarkable year-round experience! Our region, just two hours from Buenos Aires (EZE), is home to an incredible, non-migratory population of doves, allowing for high-volume shooting regardless of the month. This means you can enjoy an exceptional hunt whenever it best suits your schedule.

While the hunting is consistently excellent, the weather does vary throughout the year. Our warmer months typically run from November to March, offering long, sunny days. The cooler, drier months from May to September are often preferred by some hunters for their comfortable temperatures and less humidity. Ultimately, the "best" time often comes down to your personal preference for weather.

Question 7

visa requirements for argentina for our october trip, anything specific we need to know or any fees

Accepted Answer

For most nationalities, including citizens from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, a visa is generally not required for tourist stays in Argentina of up to 90 days. You typically just need a valid passport that is good for at least six months beyond your intended stay.

However, visa requirements can vary by nationality and change periodically, so we always recommend checking the latest information with the Argentine Embassy or Consulate in your specific country of residence closer to your travel date to ensure you have the most up-to-date requirements. There are generally no specific entry fees for these nationalities.

Question 8

We arrange seamless private transfers directly from EZE to AWS Lodge.

Question 9

for november trip flying into cordoba (cor) vs buenos aires (eze/aep) what's the actual drive time difference to the lodge

Accepted Answer

For your November trip, flying into **Buenos Aires (EZE)** is by far the most convenient and efficient option for reaching AWS Lodge.

Our lodge is strategically located just **2 hours from EZE (Ministro Pistarini International Airport)**, allowing you to land and be hunting doves the very same afternoon you arrive, without the need for any domestic flights.

Flying into **Cordoba (COR)** would involve a significantly longer and more complex journey. From Cordoba, you would typically need to take another domestic flight to Buenos Aires (AEP or EZE) and then still make the 2-hour drive to the lodge. This would add many hours and logistical complications to your travel, making it impractical for our lodge's location.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

For pigeon hunting with decoys, we typically use comfortable and strategically placed ground blinds. These blinds are designed to offer excellent concealment, allowing you to get up close and personal with the incoming pigeons attracted to our decoy spreads. Our professional guides set everything up for you, ensuring you are in the prime position for the best possible shooting opportunities.
