Question 1

what type of decoys do you use for pigeon hunting

Accepted Answer

At AWS Lodge, our primary focus for high-volume wing shooting is on doves, which are incredibly abundant in Argentina and offer a very similar experience to pigeon hunting in terms of sheer numbers and flight patterns. We also offer exceptional mixed bag programs that include duck and perdiz hunting.

While we don't specifically use decoys for pigeon hunting, our expert guides are masters at positioning hunters in the most strategic locations within our 32 prime private lagoons and fields, ensuring an unparalleled high-volume dove shooting experience. We rely on the natural flight paths and feeding areas of the doves to create an action-packed hunt, supported by a dedicated bird boy for each guest.

Question 5

boot recs for perdiz hunting

Accepted Answer

That's a great question for preparing for a perdiz hunt! For perdiz hunting, which often involves walking through fields, sometimes wet grass, and varied terrain, comfort and support are key.

We generally recommend:
*   **Waterproof, lightweight upland hunting boots or sturdy hiking boots:** These will keep your feet dry and comfortable during long walks. Look for GORE-TEX or similar waterproof membranes.
*   **Good ankle support:** This is crucial for navigating uneven ground and preventing twists or sprains.
*   **Comfortable fit:** Make sure they are well broken-in before your trip to avoid blisters.
*   **Good traction:** Soles with aggressive tread will provide better grip on potentially slick or soft ground.

At AWS Lodge, perdiz hunting is a fantastic part of our **Mixed Bag Program**, offering a classic wingshooting experience in the beautiful Argentine countryside. Our professional guides ensure you have a comfortable and successful hunt, focusing on the birds while you enjoy the walk.

Question 6

for march trip do you guys require global rescue or is standard travel insurance enough

Accepted Answer

Regarding insurance for your March trip, while AWS Lodge doesn't have a specific mandatory requirement for Global Rescue, we highly recommend that all our guests secure comprehensive travel insurance that includes emergency medical evacuation. Standard travel insurance often covers basic medical needs, but services like Global Rescue provide specialized evacuation and advisory services that many of our clients find valuable for international hunting trips. It's always best to review your chosen policy's details to ensure it meets your specific needs for an international hunting adventure.

Since you're considering a March trip, it's a great time to check availability! Our human team can provide the most accurate information on both insurance recommendations and specific dates.

While specific migrations can vary slightly, in April, you can typically expect to see species such as Rosy-billed Pochards, White-cheeked Pintails, Yellow-billed Pintails, Silver Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Speckled Teal, Red Shovelers, and Southern Wigeon, among others.

Question 10

for a mixed bag hunt with ducks, doves, and perdiz in september what's the typical weather like and is that a good time for all three species or is one better than the others then

Accepted Answer

September is a beautiful time to visit Argentina, as it marks the beginning of spring!

For a mixed bag hunt with doves, ducks, and perdiz:

*   **Weather:** In September, you can expect generally mild and pleasant spring weather. Mornings and evenings can still be cool, especially early in the month, but daytime temperatures usually rise to comfortable levels. There can be some variability, with warmer days possible, but it's generally a very enjoyable time to be outdoors.
*   **Species Suitability:**
    *   **Doves:** Doves are an exceptional year-round hunting opportunity in our region, so September is fantastic for high-volume dove shooting.
    *   **Ducks & Perdiz:** The seasons for ducks and perdiz typically run through Argentina's winter months, often concluding in late August or early September, depending on the specific year's regulations and conditions. While a mixed bag might still be possible in **early September**, it would be at the very tail end of their season. Our human team can provide the most current season dates and advise on the best timing for a comprehensive mixed bag experience.
