Question 1

what choke recs do you have for doves and ducks, like is it different for each or can i use one for both

Accepted Answer

That's a great question about optimizing your shot!

For **doves**, given the incredible volume and often closer ranges in Argentina, most hunters prefer more open chokes. An **Improved Cylinder (IC)** or **Light Modified (LM)** choke is generally recommended. These chokes provide a wider pattern, which can be very effective for hitting fast-flying doves at typical distances, allowing for quick follow-up shots.

For **ducks**, which are often engaged at longer ranges or over decoys, you'll typically want a tighter pattern to maintain density at distance. A **Modified (M)** or **Improved Modified (IM)** choke is commonly used for duck hunting.

While you *can* use a single, more versatile choke like a Modified for both, it would be a compromise. An Improved Cylinder might work for closer duck shots and doves, but you'd lose some effective range for ducks. Conversely, a Modified might be a bit tight for the highest volume dove shooting. For optimal performance, many hunters prefer to change chokes depending on the specific species they are targeting that day. Our professional guides are always on hand to assist with recommendations based on the specific hunting conditions.

Question 5

what kind of numbers do guys usually hit for dove totals, like what's the lodge record for a single day hunter

Accepted Answer

At AWS Lodge, we are renowned for truly high-volume dove hunting, often described as some of the best in the world! While we don't officially track a "lodge record" for individual daily totals, as our focus is on providing an unparalleled overall hunting experience, it's not uncommon for our guests to shoot thousands of doves in a single day. The sheer abundance of birds is astonishing, with seemingly endless flights of doves ensuring constant action in the field.

Our professional guides and dedicated bird boys work tirelessly to ensure you have the best possible shooting opportunities, and many hunters choose to limit their shooting not because of a lack of birds, but simply because they've had more than enough incredible action! We aim to provide an unforgettable experience rather than just a score.
