Question 1

is it really true dove hunting is year round in argentina

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's absolutely true! Dove hunting in Argentina is indeed a year-round activity, thanks to the massive, migratory dove populations in our region. At AWS Lodge, located just two hours from Buenos Aires (EZE), we offer incredible high-volume dove shooting experiences throughout the entire year, allowing you to plan your trip whenever suits your schedule. You can even hunt the same afternoon you land, as no domestic flights are needed.

Question 5

for a january trip what's the actual day to day difference between a mixed bag hunt and a dove only hunt, like how does the schedule change or the type of hunt feel different

Accepted Answer

That's an excellent question, and it highlights the distinct experiences AWS Lodge offers. While both options provide an incredible wingshooting adventure in Argentina, the day-to-day schedule and the feel of the hunt differ significantly between a high-volume dove-only trip and a mixed bag hunt, especially in January.

Here's a breakdown:

**High-Volume Dove-Only Hunt (January):**
This program is all about continuous, high-intensity action with doves.
*   **Morning:** You'll typically head out after a gourmet breakfast, arriving at one of our prime dove fields. The shooting is non-stop and exhilarating, with millions of doves flying over. You'll have a dedicated bird boy keeping your gun loaded and shells ready.
*   **Midday:** Depending on the day, you'll either return to the lodge for a lavish lunch and a siesta, or enjoy a traditional Argentinian field lunch right under the trees, complete with a delicious BBQ and fine wines.
*   **Afternoon:** The action continues with another thrilling dove shoot until sunset.
*   **Feel of the hunt:** This is a pure adrenaline rush, focusing on sheer volume and honing your shotgun skills. It's fast-paced and incredibly productive, allowing you to shoot thousands of shells if you wish.

**Mixed Bag Hunt (January):**
A mixed bag hunt offers a more varied and comprehensive wingshooting experience, combining different species and styles of hunting throughout the day.
*   **Early Morning (Pre-dawn):** Your day will start earlier, before sunrise, heading to one of our 32 private lagoons for **duck hunting**. This involves hunting from blinds, often over decoys, with the beautiful sunrise as your backdrop. The focus is on decoying and pass shooting ducks.
*   **Late Morning / Early Afternoon:** After the duck hunt, you'll transition to **perdiz hunting**. This is a classic upland bird hunt performed over pointers, walking through fields and experiencing the thrill of flushing birds. It's a more active and strategic hunt, working closely with trained dogs.
*   **Afternoon:** You'll then typically conclude your day with a high-volume **dove hunt**, similar to the dove-only program, providing that iconic Argentine experience.
*   **Feel of the hunt:** This program offers a rich tapestry of wingshooting. You'll experience the quiet anticipation of a duck blind, the camaraderie with dogs during a perdiz walk, and the explosive action of a dove shoot, all in one day. It's a truly comprehensive and diverse experience.

Please note that the mixed bag program, which includes duck and perdiz, has an additional cost of **quoted upon request by our team**. 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 6

for september trip visa info for argentina like do US citizens need one or just pay a fee

Accepted Answer

Hello! For US citizens traveling to Argentina, a visa is generally not required for tourist stays of up to 90 days. The reciprocity fee that was once in place for US citizens was suspended in 2016, so you typically won't need to pay a fee upon arrival either. You just need a valid passport that is good for at least six months beyond your intended stay.

Question 10

what are the private charter flight options to the lodge and approx cost for june

Accepted Answer

While we primarily arrange comfortable round-trip airport transfers from EZE directly to the lodge (approximately 2 hours drive, meaning no domestic flights are needed and you can hunt the same afternoon you land!), private charter flight options directly to the lodge or a nearby airstrip are indeed a possibility for those seeking ultimate convenience.

These private charters are a highly personalized service, and their cost varies significantly based on factors such as the aircraft type, the origin of the flight, and current fuel market conditions. Therefore, our human team is best equipped to provide you with precise options and an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs and preferences for June.

Given your interest in June, I recommend reaching out to our team directly for availability and exact pricing on both transfers and your overall package.
