Question 1

what are the current record breaking daily dove counts for a single shooter and what can we realistically expect for high volume days in july

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question! Argentina is world-renowned for its incredible dove populations, and AWS Lodge is situated in a prime location to experience truly epic high-volume shooting.

While there isn't a single official "record-breaking" daily count we publicize, it's not uncommon for our guests to shoot thousands of doves in a single day. The actual number is often limited more by a hunter's stamina and the number of shells they wish to shoot rather than the availability of birds. Our dedicated bird boys work tirelessly to ensure you have a constant flow of action.

For high-volume days in July, you can absolutely expect exceptional opportunities. July falls right in the heart of our prime hunting season, offering consistent, massive flights of doves. Our location, with 32 prime private lagoons within 5-45 minutes of the lodge, ensures that we always have access to abundant birds, providing a truly unparalleled experience.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

July is an excellent time for duck hunting in Argentina, as it falls within our prime duck season. You can expect to find a variety of species. Some of the most common duck species we encounter during July include:

*   **Rosy-billed Pochard:** Known for its distinctive bill and often considered a prize.
*   **White-cheeked Pintail:** A beautiful and elegant duck.
*   **Yellow-billed Pintail:** Another common and sought-after species.
*   **Silver Teal:** A small, fast-flying duck.
*   **Cinnamon Teal:** Vibrant and colorful.
*   **Ringed Teal:** Another smaller, attractive species.

Question 3

for doves versus ducks what choke setups do you typically recommend are they interchangeable or should we plan on changing chokes

Accepted Answer

That's a great question regarding choke setups! For high-volume dove shooting, most of our guests find that more open chokes like Improved Cylinder or Light Modified work best to achieve a wider pattern and maximize their success with the fast-moving birds.

For duck hunting, which often involves longer shots or shooting over decoys, tighter chokes such as Modified or Full are generally recommended to maintain a dense pattern at further distances. So, yes, you would typically plan on changing chokes between dove and duck hunting for optimal performance. Our professional guides are always on hand to assist with gun setups and recommendations based on the day's conditions and your personal preference.

Question 4

for september perdiz hunting what kind of boots are best like waterproof or more lightweight for walking all day

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question for planning your Perdiz hunting adventure in September!

For Perdiz hunting, which involves a good amount of walking across varied terrain like open grasslands and fields, we highly recommend boots that prioritize **comfort, flexibility, and excellent ankle support** for all-day wear.

While full waterproof boots aren't always strictly necessary, having a **water-resistant or even waterproof pair is definitely advisable**. September in Argentina is spring, so mornings can be damp with dew, and you might encounter wet spots or even light rain. Keeping your feet dry and comfortable is crucial for an enjoyable and successful day in the field. Many of our guests find that high-quality, lightweight hiking boots or specific upland hunting boots with good breathability are ideal. Our professional guides are dedicated to making your experience seamless, and comfortable footwear is key to fully appreciating the hunt.

Question 5

what kind of clothing would you recommend for winter (june-august) for someone who isnt hunting, just chilling at the lodge

Accepted Answer

That's a great question! For someone just relaxing at the lodge during our winter months (June-August), comfort and warmth are key.

Our lodge offers a luxurious and cozy environment with fireplaces and heated spaces, so you'll be comfortable indoors. However, temperatures can be quite cool, especially in the mornings and evenings, and if you choose to step outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Here's what we recommend:

*   **Layering is Essential:** This is the most important tip. Temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day.
*   **Warm Base Layers:** Long-sleeved shirts and thermal underwear can be very useful, especially for cooler days.
*   **Sweaters and Fleeces:** Pack a few comfortable wool or fleece sweaters.
*   **Warm Outerwear:** A good quality, warm jacket (like a down jacket or a thick, insulated coat) will be perfect for any outdoor strolls or just sitting on the veranda.
*   **Comfortable Pants:** Jeans, warm leggings, or comfortable casual trousers are ideal.
*   **Socks:** Wool or thick cotton socks to keep your feet warm.
*   **Footwear:** Comfortable indoor shoes or slippers for lounging around the lodge, and a pair of warm, comfortable boots or sturdy shoes if you plan to explore the immediate surroundings outdoors.
*   **Accessories:** A warm hat, gloves, and a scarf can make a big difference, especially in the evenings.

Think "relaxed country chic" with an emphasis on warmth!
