Question 3

thinking about may, what's the actual difference in the hunting experience between booking a mixed bag vs a dove-only trip

Accepted Answer

That's a fantastic question, and May is an excellent time to consider both options! The difference between a Mixed Bag and a Dove-Only trip fundamentally comes down to the variety of species and hunting styles you'll experience:

*   **High-Volume Dove-Only Trip:** This is our signature, high-octane experience. You'll immerse yourself in the sheer abundance of Argentina's doves, enjoying non-stop shooting action. We boast millions of doves, ensuring continuous opportunities throughout the day across our 32 prime private lagoons, all conveniently located just 5-45 minutes from the lodge. Each guest receives a dedicated bird boy, ensuring a seamless and incredibly productive hunt focused purely on the exhilarating challenge of high-volume dove shooting.

*   **Mixed Bag Program:** For those seeking a more diverse wingshooting adventure, our Mixed Bag program offers the best of both worlds. In addition to the incredible high-volume dove shooting, you'll also have the opportunity to hunt ducks from comfortable blinds and enjoy perdiz hunting, which involves walking over varied terrain with our expertly trained pointing dogs. This program provides a thrilling change of pace and a chance to pursue different species, making for a truly comprehensive and varied hunting experience. The duck and perdiz add-on is quoted upon request by our team.

Question 5

we're coming in september me and my wife but i was wondering how often do you guys have big corporate groups or large parties staying at the lodge during dove season

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question! We understand the importance of a private and exclusive experience, especially when traveling with your wife.

AWS Lodge is designed to offer a fully private and intimate experience. We typically do not host large corporate groups alongside other guests. Our lodge capacity is limited to a maximum of 8 single hunters or 8 couples at a time. This allows us to ensure a highly personalized service and often means our guests have the lodge to themselves or share it with a very small, compatible group, ensuring maximum privacy and an exclusive atmosphere. We prioritize creating a bespoke hunting and lodging experience for each party.

Since you're considering September, which is a specific time of year, I'd like to help you check the exact availability and provide more tailored information.

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!

Question 6

what's the standard tipping amount for bird boys and lodge staff for a 5 day trip in february

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, as tipping is an important part of showing appreciation for the hard work of our dedicated staff.

For a 5-day trip, a customary gratuity for our bird boys typically ranges from $50-$70 per hunter, per day. For the lodge staff (chefs, housekeepers, bartenders, etc.), a collective tip of around $300-$500 per hunter for the entire trip is generally recommended. These amounts are, of course, entirely at your discretion and should reflect the exceptional service you receive.

Question 7

for duck hunting in september, do we need chest waders or are hip boots usually fine

Accepted Answer

For duck hunting in September, we generally recommend **chest waders** over hip boots. While hip boots might suffice in some shallower areas, water levels in our lagoons can vary, and chest waders provide superior protection and comfort, ensuring you stay dry and warm throughout your hunt. Our professional guides are always on hand to advise on the best gear for your specific trip conditions.

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.

Question 10

what duck species are the most common targets in december

Accepted Answer

While high-volume dove shooting is excellent year-round at AWS Lodge, December falls during Argentina's summer, which is generally outside of the prime duck hunting season. Our dedicated duck and perdiz hunting season typically runs from May through August, when conditions are ideal for targeting species like Rosy-billed Pochard, Speckled Teal, White-cheeked Pintail, and various other teal and wigeon species that migrate through the region.

If you're interested in a mixed-bag experience that includes duck hunting during the appropriate season, we highly recommend our [Mixed Bag Program](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/mixed-bag). This program combines world-class dove shooting with the thrill of duck and perdiz hunting.
