Question 1

what's the best time to book flights for a feb trip to get the best prices

Accepted Answer

Finding the best flight prices for a February trip often involves booking a few months in advance, typically 2 to 4 months out for international travel. However, prices can fluctuate based on demand, specific dates (like holidays), and airline sales. Using flight comparison websites and setting price alerts can be very helpful!

Question 3

waders for duck hunting in march needed

Accepted Answer

Regarding waders for duck hunting in March, while most hunters prefer to bring their own specialized personal gear for comfort and fit, we ensure all other aspects of your hunt are completely taken care of within our all-inclusive multi-day packages. Our focus is on providing a luxurious and seamless experience.

It's worth noting that while March is still a beautiful time to hunt doves, the prime duck hunting season in Argentina typically runs from May through August. However, we do offer duck hunting as an add-on to our dove packages for quoted upon request by our team, ensuring you can enjoy a mixed bag experience if desired. Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers 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.

Since you're considering a specific time like March, I recommend checking directly with our team for availability and to discuss the best timing for a duck hunting experience. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.

Question 4

what are the options for a private charter flight direct to the lodge from cordoba or buenos aires and approx cost

Accepted Answer

We are happy to help arrange your transportation!

While private air charters can be arranged for those seeking the ultimate in speed and luxury, they are a highly specialized service that comes at a significant premium, and details would need to be coordinated directly with our human team.

Our lodge is conveniently located just 2 hours by ground transfer from Buenos Aires' Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), meaning no domestic flights are needed once you land in Argentina. Many of our guests arrive in the morning and are out hunting doves that very same afternoon!

Round-trip airport transfers from EZE directly to the lodge are typically estimated around quoted directly by our human team based on current market rates, but this is subject to market variations. Our human team will confirm the exact transportation cost for your specific dates.

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 5

what kind of layers should i pack for the colder mornings in november, like for duck hunting

Accepted Answer

For colder mornings in November, especially for duck hunting, layering is key to staying comfortable. I'd recommend starting with a moisture-wicking base layer (like merino wool or synthetic thermals) to keep sweat away from your skin. Over that, add an insulating mid-layer, such as a fleece jacket or a lightweight down vest, for warmth. Finally, a waterproof and windproof outer shell is crucial to protect against the elements in the blinds. Don't forget warm, waterproof boots, thick socks, gloves, and a warm hat!

At AWS Lodge, we specialize in making your experience seamless and comfortable, ensuring you're well-prepared for any conditions. Duck hunting is typically part of our [Mixed Bag Program](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/mixed-bag), which offers a comprehensive hunting experience.

Question 6

What's the actual difference between mixed bag and dove only options for a january trip, like in terms of daily hunting focus and time spent on each type of bird

Accepted Answer

For a January trip, the main difference between our High-Volume Dove and Mixed Bag options lies in the daily hunting focus and the variety of species you'll pursue:

*   **High-Volume Dove Option:** This program is entirely dedicated to the exhilarating experience of high-volume dove shooting. You'll typically have two hunting sessions per day—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—at different prime locations, focusing exclusively on doves. This option is perfect for hunters who want to maximize their dove shooting opportunities and experience the incredible volume Argentina is famous for. You'll spend virtually all your hunting time in the dove fields. You can find more details here: [High-Volume Doves](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/dove-shooting)

*   **Mixed Bag Program:** This option offers a more diverse hunting experience, combining the thrill of dove shooting with opportunities for other species like ducks and perdiz. In a mixed bag trip, your daily schedule might vary. For example, you might spend a morning duck hunting in our private lagoons, an afternoon pursuing perdiz (quail) over pointers, and then dedicate other sessions or days to dove hunting. The time spent on each type of bird is balanced to provide a comprehensive wingshooting adventure. The duck and perdiz add-on is quoted upon request by our team.

Both programs offer our signature all-inclusive luxury experience, ensuring you're well taken care of from the moment you arrive.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that for guests visiting AWS Lodge, you won't need to connect to Aeroparque (AEP) or take a domestic flight to Cordoba. Our lodge is conveniently located just two hours from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), allowing our guests to be transferred directly to the lodge and often begin hunting on the same afternoon they arrive, completely bypassing domestic flights.

Question 8

choke recommendations for doves vs ducks for march trip, any specific preferences you guys have for the lodge guns

Accepted Answer

That's a great question! For high-volume dove shooting in Argentina, we generally recommend more open chokes like **Skeet or Improved Cylinder (IC)**. This allows for a wider pattern, which is very effective given the incredible number of doves and often closer ranges you'll encounter. For ducks, which are typically taken at slightly longer distances, a tighter choke like **Modified (MOD) or Improved Modified (IM)** is usually preferred to ensure good pattern density and knockdown power.

Our lodge provides a selection of high-quality shotguns, including brands like Benelli and Beretta, and our professional guides are always on hand to assist you with choke selection to best suit the conditions and your personal shooting style once you're here. Gun rentals and licenses are seamlessly managed by our team as part of your itinerary, so you don't have to worry about the details.

Regarding your interest in a **March trip**, while our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.
