Question 1

duck hunt in july do i need chest waders or just hip boots

Accepted Answer

For duck hunting in July in Argentina, we highly recommend **chest waders**. July is winter here, and water temperatures can be quite cold, so chest waders will provide much better warmth and protection, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable experience during your hunt.

Question 3

for april trip, doves vs ducks, should i be thinking different chokes or is there one that kinda works for both

Accepted Answer

For an April trip, when considering both doves and ducks, it's a great question regarding chokes!

Doves are typically fast-flying targets, often taken at varying distances, so more open chokes like Improved Cylinder (IC) or Light Modified (LM) are generally preferred to give you a wider pattern. Ducks, on the other hand, especially depending on the specific hunting scenario (decoying vs. pass shooting), often benefit from tighter chokes like Modified (M) or even Full (F) for increased range and pattern density.

If you're looking for a single choke that can "kinda work for both," a **Modified (M)** choke is often considered a versatile choice. It provides a decent pattern for doves without being too tight, and offers enough range and density for many duck hunting situations. However, for optimal performance, dedicated chokes for each species would be ideal. Our professional guides at AWS Lodge are always on hand to assist with gear recommendations and can help you select the best chokes for the specific conditions during your hunt. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals if needed, to ensure you have the right equipment.

Since you're planning for an April trip and showing booking intent, I recommend reaching out to our team directly for a real-time availability check and to discuss your specific needs. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.

Question 4

is global rescue a requirement for the trip or is regular travel insurance sufficient

Accepted Answer

While Global Rescue is not a strict requirement, we highly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that includes emergency medical evacuation. This provides crucial peace of mind when traveling internationally for a hunting trip, ensuring you're covered for unforeseen circumstances. Many of our guests choose services like Global Rescue for their specialized medical and security evacuation services, but a robust travel insurance policy with similar coverage for medical emergencies and evacuation is generally sufficient.
