Question 1

what forms or permits do i need to bring my own shotgun for the july trip

Accepted Answer

Bringing your own shotgun to Argentina involves a few specific permits and forms, but our team at AWS Lodge specializes in making this process as smooth as possible for our guests.

You will need to apply for a temporary import permit for your firearm. This typically involves submitting an application with details about your shotgun (make, model, serial number, caliber) and your personal information to the Argentine authorities (ANMAC - Agencia Nacional de Materiales Controlados) well in advance of your trip. You'll also need a letter of invitation from us, which we provide once your trip is confirmed.

Our dedicated team assists all our clients with navigating these requirements, ensuring you have all the necessary paperwork ready for your arrival. We'll guide you through each step, from pre-approvals to customs declarations at the EZE airport.

However, many of our guests find it more convenient to rent one of our high-quality shotguns directly at the lodge. This eliminates the hassle of international firearm travel regulations and customs processes. 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 2

for flights in june, is it typically easier to fly into cordoba (cor) direct or does going through buenos aires (eze/aep) make more sense given connecting flights etc

Accepted Answer

Hello! For flights in June, or any time of year, it is always significantly easier and more convenient to fly directly into **Buenos Aires (EZE)**. Our AWS Lodge is strategically located just two hours from EZE, which means you won't need any connecting domestic flights within Argentina. Guests typically land, transfer directly to the lodge, and can be enjoying their first high-volume dove hunt that very afternoon! This avoids any hassle with connections to AEP or COR, which would add unnecessary travel time.

Question 4

what's the current process for bringing my own shotgun into argentina and what forms do i need to fill out before i get there

Accepted Answer

Bringing your own shotgun into Argentina is certainly possible, but it does involve a process that requires some advance preparation and paperwork. You'll need to obtain a temporary import permit from ANMAC (Agencia Nacional de Materiales Controlados), which is the Argentine firearms regulatory agency. This typically involves submitting forms, paying a fee, and having your gun's serial number, make, and model verified. It's crucial to complete these forms accurately and well in advance of your trip to avoid delays at the airport.

However, for maximum convenience and to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience, most of our guests choose to rent high-quality shotguns directly from us. Unless you are booking a 1-day trip, 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 or navigating the import process upon arrival.

Question 5

for january hunt what chokes u suggest for high volume doves vs what i'd use for ducks

Accepted Answer

For high-volume dove hunting in January, we generally recommend more open chokes like Improved Cylinder (IC) or Modified (M). This allows for a wider shot pattern, making it easier to connect with fast-flying doves, especially during the rapid-fire action we experience.

For duck hunting, which often involves larger birds and potentially longer shots over water, a tighter choke like Modified (M) or Improved Modified (IM) is typically more effective to ensure better pattern density and penetration.

*(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 January, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*
