Question 1

doves vs ducks choke recs like do i need to be swapping them out or what

Accepted Answer

That's a great question about optimizing your shot! For **dove hunting**, which often involves fast-flying birds at varying ranges, many hunters prefer more open chokes like **Improved Cylinder (IC)** or **Modified (M)**. These provide a wider pattern, making it easier to connect with quick-moving targets.

For **duck hunting**, where shots can often be at longer distances, especially pass shooting or over decoys, a tighter pattern is generally preferred. **Modified (M)** or even **Full (F)** chokes are common choices to ensure maximum pellet energy and density at range.

So, yes, if you're planning to hunt both doves and ducks on the same trip, it's generally recommended to **swap out your chokes** to match the specific bird and hunting conditions for optimal performance. Our professional guides at AWS Lodge are experts in the field and are always on hand to assist you with gun and choke selection, ensuring you have the best setup for each type of hunting. We handle all the logistics for you, so you can focus on the experience.

whats the average daily bird count for high volume dove shooting for july and what's the record for a single shooter

Accepted Answer

For high-volume dove shooting at AWS Lodge, guests consistently experience an incredible abundance of doves, allowing for truly spectacular shooting. While we don't track a specific "average daily bird count" as it varies greatly based on individual shooting style, endurance, and the number of shells shot, it's common for our guests to engage with thousands of birds daily, often shooting between 1,000 to 2,000 rounds or more in a single session. Our focus is on providing an unparalleled experience with unlimited birds, rather than specific numerical targets.

Regarding a record for a single shooter, we prioritize the overall premium hunting experience and the enjoyment of our guests over competitive counts, and as such, we do not publicly disclose specific individual records.
