Question 3

choke recs for doves vs ducks for a september trip what's the general thinking there

Accepted Answer

That's a great question for planning your trip! For **doves**, especially with the high-volume shooting we offer, an **Improved Cylinder** or **Light Modified** choke is generally recommended. These chokes provide a wider pattern, which is ideal for the fast-moving, close-to-medium range targets you'll encounter.

For **ducks**, where shots can often be at longer distances, a **Modified** or **Improved Modified** choke is usually a good choice to ensure a denser pattern. Many experienced hunters bring a selection of chokes to adapt to different scenarios and conditions in the field. Our professional guides can also offer on-the-spot advice based on the day's hunting.

Regarding your interest in a September trip, that's an excellent time to experience our world-class wingshooting, including both high-volume doves and our exciting mixed bag program!

Question 8

for high volume dove is there any reason we should lean towards renting 20ga vs 12ga from u guys considering the amount of shooting we'll be doing

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question, and it's something many of our guests consider for high-volume dove shooting!

For the incredible volume of doves you'll experience with us, many hunters do lean towards a **20-gauge shotgun** due to its significantly lighter recoil and often lighter overall weight. When you're shooting hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds per day, the reduced fatigue from a 20-gauge can make a big difference in your comfort and enjoyment, allowing you to shoot longer and more accurately without tiring out.

While a 12-gauge certainly offers more stopping power, it's often considered overkill for doves given their size, and the increased recoil can become quite noticeable over an extended period of shooting. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal preference and comfort level, but the 20-gauge is a very popular and practical option for high-volume dove hunting. We have both available for rent, and our professional guides are there to assist you in selecting the perfect gun for your experience.

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.
