Question 2

what are the record dove numbers for like a single hunter in november and what's a realistic expectation for someone who's a good shot

Accepted Answer

We specialize in high-volume dove shooting, and our location offers an incredible abundance of doves year-round, including November. While official "record" numbers can vary based on individual skill and shooting conditions, it's not uncommon for a good shot to go through **1,000 to 2,000 shells in a single day**, with some experienced hunters exceeding that significantly. The sheer volume of birds is truly astounding.

For a realistic expectation, even a good shot will be challenged and thrilled by the continuous action. Our guests often describe it as the most intense dove shooting experience of their lives. We position you in prime areas where millions of doves migrate daily.

Question 3

what's the recommended choke for doves compared to ducks

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and understanding choke selection is key to successful wingshooting!

For **doves**, which are typically fast-flying and often engaged at closer ranges, we generally recommend more open chokes. An **Improved Cylinder (IC)** or **Light Modified (LM)** choke is often ideal, allowing for a wider shot pattern that increases your chances of connecting with these agile birds. Some hunters even prefer a **Skeet (SK)** choke for very close-range opportunities.

For **ducks**, particularly when pass shooting or hunting over decoys where shots can be at longer distances, a tighter constriction is usually preferred. A **Modified (M)** or **Improved Modified (IM)** choke is common, providing a denser pattern at greater ranges. For very long shots, some hunters might even use a **Full (F)** choke, but this requires precise aiming.

Ultimately, the best choke can also depend on the specific ammunition you're using, the range of your shots, and your personal shooting style. Our professional guides at AWS Lodge are always on hand to offer personalized advice and help you optimize your setup for the best possible experience in the field.

Question 4

choke recommendations for doves vs ducks

Accepted Answer

That's a great question, and choke selection can significantly impact your hunting success!

For **doves**, especially with the high-volume shooting we experience at AWS Lodge, most hunters prefer more open chokes. This allows for a wider shot pattern, which is very effective for the fast-flying, often close-to-mid-range shots you'll encounter. Recommended chokes include:
*   **Skeet**
*   **Improved Cylinder (IC)**
*   **Light Modified (LM)**
    
Our professional guides will certainly help you choose the best choke for your style and the day's conditions, but an Improved Cylinder is often a fantastic all-around choice for doves.

For **ducks**, which are generally tougher birds and often shot at longer distances or over water, a tighter choke is usually preferred to ensure sufficient pattern density and energy for clean kills. Recommended chokes include:
*   **Modified (M)**
*   **Improved Modified (IM)**
*   Sometimes **Full (F)**, depending on the specific hunting scenario and range.
