Question 1

what's a typical day look like for a sep duck hunt

Accepted Answer

A typical September duck hunt day at AWS Lodge is an immersive and luxurious experience designed for passionate hunters! Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, ensuring every detail is handled for you.

Your day would generally begin before dawn with a light breakfast at the lodge, preparing you for an exciting morning. Our professional guides will then lead you to our prime private lagoons, typically 5-45 minutes away, using our fleet of Unimogs or Jeeps. Each hunter will have a dedicated bird boy ensuring a seamless experience in the blind.

You'll enjoy a thrilling morning duck hunt, expertly guided to maximize your opportunities. After the morning's action, you'll return to the lodge for a hearty, gourmet brunch and some time to relax. The afternoon can involve further relaxation, or, depending on your chosen package (such as our [Mixed Bag Program](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/mixed-bag)), an optional perdiz or high-volume dove shoot.

As the day winds down, you'll gather back at the lodge for cocktails, a magnificent gourmet dinner prepared by our chefs, and the chance to share stories of the day's hunt. Our all-inclusive packages cover luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an 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.

whats the gun clearing process at the airport *after* we pick up our bags

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and we're here to make your arrival as smooth as possible.

If you choose to bring your own firearms, our dedicated team will meet you *after* you clear customs and collect your luggage at EZE airport. From there, we will assist you personally with the necessary paperwork and guide you through the gun clearing process with the local authorities. This typically involves a final check and stamping of your temporary import permits, ensuring everything is handled efficiently.

Many of our guests, however, find it far more convenient to utilize our gun rental service. If you opt for this, we handle all the import permits and have your chosen firearms ready for you at the lodge, allowing for a much faster exit from the airport.
