Question 4

what's the typical daily schedule for a non-hunting spouse in may vs a hunter

Accepted Answer

At AWS Lodge, we ensure both hunters and non-hunting spouses have an exceptional and personalized experience, especially in May when the weather is typically pleasant.

Here’s a typical daily schedule for both:

**For the Hunter:**

*   **Morning (Dawn):** Wake up to a freshly prepared breakfast. You'll then head out with your professional guide in one of our Unimogs or Jeeps to a prime dove hunting field, typically just 5-45 minutes from the lodge.
*   **Late Morning (Hunt 1):** Enjoy high-volume dove shooting, with a dedicated bird boy assisting you throughout.
*   **Midday (Field Lunch):** Return to the lodge or enjoy a delicious and authentic Argentine field lunch with drinks, often including an "asado" (BBQ) right in the field. This is a fantastic social experience.
*   **Afternoon (Hunt 2):** After a brief rest, you'll head back out for the second hunt of the day, making the most of the afternoon's flight patterns.
*   **Evening:** Return to the lodge for cocktails, appetizers, and a gourmet dinner, featuring exquisite Argentine cuisine and fine wines. You'll have time to relax, share stories, and enjoy the lodge's amenities.

**For the Non-Hunting Spouse:**

*   **Morning:** Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the lodge. Non-hunting guests have the freedom to relax by the pool, indulge in a massage, read in one of our comfortable lounges, or explore the beautiful grounds.
*   **Midday:** Join the hunters for the field lunch if they wish, or enjoy a private gourmet lunch at the lodge.
*   **Afternoon:** This is a wonderful time for various activities:
    *   **Relaxation:** Continue to unwind at the lodge, perhaps with a book or a swim.
    *   **Cultural Excursions (Optional):** We can arrange excursions such as horseback riding, exploring nearby towns, visiting local estancias, or even a trip to Buenos Aires for sightseeing and shopping (these would be additional arrangements).
    *   **Cooking Classes:** Many guests enjoy participating in our culinary experiences, learning about Argentine cooking.
    *   **Wine Tasting:** Our open bar offers an excellent selection of Argentine wines to savor.
*   **Evening:** Rejoin the hunters for cocktails and appetizers, followed by a delightful gourmet dinner, sharing the day's experiences in a luxurious and convivial atmosphere.

Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an open bar, and professional guides, ensuring a seamless and pampered experience for everyone.

Question 9

thinking about renting shotguns, what's the difference in recoil or performance between a 20 gauge and 12 gauge for dove hunting

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and the choice between a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge can significantly impact your comfort and performance during a high-volume dove hunt!

Generally, a **12 gauge** offers more power, a larger shot payload, and can provide denser patterns at longer ranges. This means it can be very effective, but it also typically comes with noticeably more recoil, which can lead to fatigue over several days of high-volume shooting, especially given the sheer volume of doves you'll encounter in Argentina.

A **20 gauge**, on the other hand, is lighter, produces less recoil, and is often preferred by hunters who are sensitive to recoil, new to shooting, or simply want a more comfortable experience. For the vast majority of dove hunting scenarios, a 20 gauge is perfectly adequate and highly effective, allowing you to shoot more comfortably for longer periods without sacrificing much performance. Many experienced dove hunters actually prefer the 20 gauge for its lighter weight and quicker handling, making it easier to swing on fast-moving birds.

At AWS Lodge, we understand these preferences, and we ensure you have access to excellent firearms suitable for high-volume shooting. Unless you are booking a 1-day trip, our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details. Our team will help you select the ideal shotgun for your comfort and shooting style upon arrival.
