Question 6

for uk citizens flying in october do we need a full visa or just pay an entry fee at the airport

Accepted Answer

For UK citizens traveling to Argentina for tourism, a visa is typically not required for stays of up to 90 days. You would generally just need a valid passport. However, immigration requirements can change, so we always recommend checking the latest information with the Embassy of Argentina in the UK or the official travel advisories before your trip to ensure you have all necessary documentation.

*(AWS Expert Note: Please be aware that our Mixed Bag programs, including Duck and Perdiz hunting, strictly run during the Argentine winter from mid-May to mid-August. For trips in October, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*

Question 7

whats the lodge record for doves shot in a day and for a good shooter what's a realistic daily average

Accepted Answer

That's a fantastic question, and it speaks to the incredible volume of doves we experience here at AWS Lodge!

While we don't officially track an "all-time lodge record" for individual shooters, as our focus is always on providing a premium, personalized hunting experience rather than just sheer numbers, it's not uncommon for dedicated hunters to shoot **well over 2,000 to 3,000 doves in a single day**, especially during peak season. We have an almost unimaginable abundance of doves, making for non-stop action.

For a good shooter, a realistic daily average is truly limited only by their endurance and the number of shells they want to shoot. Most of our guests easily reach **1,000 to 1,500 doves per day**, with many exceeding that significantly. We ensure you have a dedicated bird boy to keep your gun loaded and retrieve birds, allowing for continuous shooting.

Question 8

visa requirements for argentina for june trip

Accepted Answer

For most nationalities, including citizens of the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and many European countries, a visa is generally not required for tourist visits to Argentina for stays of up to 90 days. You will typically need a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining beyond your intended departure date, and proof of onward travel may be requested.

However, visa requirements can vary based on your specific nationality and any recent changes in regulations. We always recommend checking the official website of the Argentine Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding entry requirements before your trip.

Regarding your interest in a June trip, that's an excellent time for hunting in Argentina!

Question 9

can we just use the same choke for both doves and ducks or do we need to swap out for ducks specifically

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question about optimizing your hunt! For the best results and ethical hunting, it is generally recommended to use different chokes for doves and ducks.

*   **Doves:** Given their incredible speed and often closer ranges, a more open choke like an **Improved Cylinder** or **Skeet** is typically preferred. This allows for a wider shot pattern, making it easier to connect with fast-moving targets.
*   **Ducks:** When hunting ducks, especially over water or at longer distances, a tighter choke like a **Modified** or even a **Full** choke is often more effective. This concentrates the shot pattern for increased range and stopping power.

Our professional guides at AWS Lodge are experts in the field and will be on hand to assist you with choke selection and any other gear adjustments to ensure you have the best possible experience, whether you're targeting high-volume doves or a mixed bag including ducks.

Question 10

boot recs for perdiz hunting

Accepted Answer

For perdiz hunting in Argentina, we generally recommend lightweight, waterproof, and comfortable upland hunting boots with good ankle support, as you'll be doing a fair amount of walking in varied terrain. Brands like Crispi, Kenetrek, or Schnee's are often popular choices among our guests for their durability and comfort.

At AWS Lodge, we offer exceptional perdiz hunting as part of our [Mixed Bag Program](https://www.argentinawingshooting.com/mixed-bag), ensuring you have a seamless and luxurious experience from start to finish. We handle all the logistics for your trip, so you can focus on the hunt itself.
