Question 1

for october what's the weather like usually and how much do temps drop in the early mornings for my wife who won't be hunting just hanging around the lodge

Accepted Answer

October is a beautiful time to visit AWS Lodge, as it's springtime in Argentina, offering very pleasant weather.

Typically, daytime temperatures in October are mild and comfortable, ranging from about 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). The mornings, especially in the early hours, can be quite cool, dropping to around 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C). For your wife who will be enjoying the lodge, we recommend bringing layers so she can comfortably adjust throughout the day, especially for morning coffees on the veranda or relaxing evenings. Our luxurious lodge is designed for ultimate comfort, with cozy common areas and private suites perfect for relaxation, regardless of the outdoor temperatures.

Question 2

choke recs for doves vs ducks for july trip any big diffs or can i get by with like a mod for both

Accepted Answer

That's a great question for optimizing your hunt!

For **doves**, which are typically fast-flying and incredibly abundant here, many hunters prefer more open chokes like Improved Cylinder (IC) or Light Modified (LM) to achieve a wider pattern for close-range, high-volume shooting. This allows for quicker follow-up shots on multiple birds.

For **ducks**, which are generally larger and often shot at longer distances over decoys, a tighter pattern is usually preferred. Modified (Mod), Improved Modified (IM), or even Full chokes are common choices to ensure sufficient pellet energy and density at range.

Regarding using a **Modified choke for both**, it's often considered a versatile 'middle-ground' choice. While it might be a bit tight for very close doves and a bit open for extremely long-range ducks, it can certainly be effective for both species, especially with modern ammunition and depending on the specific shooting situations you encounter. Our professional guides at AWS Lodge are always on hand to assist you with equipment advice, including choke selection, to ensure you have the best possible experience in the field.

Question 4

what are the private charter flight options to the lodge and approx cost for november

Accepted Answer

Thank you for reaching out! It's great to hear you're considering AWS Lodge for November.

While we can certainly arrange private charter flights for guests who prefer that option, it's important to note that our lodge is uniquely located just two hours from Buenos Aires (EZE) airport. This means no domestic flights are necessary, and many of our guests appreciate the convenience of arriving directly at EZE and being at the lodge, hunting, the very same afternoon.

Regarding the cost of a private charter flight, these prices can vary significantly based on aircraft type, availability, and specific routing. Our team works with trusted partners to secure the best options, and they would be happy to provide you with a precise quote tailored to your group's needs for November.

Question 5

for perdiz hunting what kind of boots do yall recommend

Accepted Answer

For perdiz hunting at AWS Lodge, we highly recommend comfortable, waterproof, and sturdy boots that offer excellent ankle support. You'll be doing a fair amount of walking through fields and potentially some damp terrain, so keeping your feet dry and well-supported is crucial for an enjoyable and comfortable experience.

Many of our guests prefer lightweight hiking boots or specialized upland hunting boots that are already broken in. The most important thing is that they fit you well and are comfortable for you personally, as you'll be wearing them for extended periods in the field.

Question 6

for our june trip, what kind of layering system should i be thinking about for winter duck hunting

Accepted Answer

For your June duck hunting trip in Argentina, which falls during our winter, a robust layering system is crucial to stay warm and dry. Duck hunting often involves cold temperatures, especially early mornings, and the possibility of rain or wet conditions.

Here’s what we recommend:

1.  **Base Layer (Moisture-Wicking):** Start with a synthetic or merino wool base layer. This should be snug against your skin to wick away sweat and keep you dry. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and will make you cold.
2.  **Mid-Layer (Insulation):** Add one or two insulating layers. Fleece jackets, down vests, or lightweight puffy jackets are excellent choices. These layers trap warm air close to your body.
3.  **Outer Layer (Waterproof & Windproof):** This is perhaps the most critical layer for duck hunting. You'll need a high-quality waterproof and windproof jacket and pants (or waders with integrated pants). Look for materials like Gore-Tex or similar breathable waterproof fabrics. Camouflage patterns are often preferred.
4.  **Waders:** Good quality insulated waders are essential for staying dry in the marsh. Ensure they fit well and allow for comfortable movement.
5.  **Headwear:** A warm, waterproof hat or beanie is vital, as a significant amount of body heat is lost through the head.
6.  **Gloves:** Waterproof and insulated gloves are a must for keeping your hands warm and functional in cold, wet conditions.
7.  **Socks:** Wear thick, moisture-wicking socks, preferably wool or synthetic blends, to keep your feet warm inside your waders.

Our team at AWS Lodge ensures you have a comfortable experience in the field, but bringing the right personal gear will make a significant difference.

Since you're planning for a specific month like June, we encourage you to check availability directly with our human team. 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!
