What Is an Argentina Mixed Bag Hunt?
An AWS Lodge Mixed Bag program combines year-round Dove shooting with seasonal Duck and Perdiz sessions through a structured itinerary. The usual planning window is approximately mid-May through mid-August, commonly around May 15 through August 15, subject to the provincial regulations, authorizations, field conditions, weather and written program in effect for the selected season.
A common structure uses mornings for Duck or Perdiz and afternoons for Dove shooting. The exact sequence may change according to scouting, daylight, water levels, field access, safety and guest priorities.

How these hunts are sold: Duck, Perdiz, Pigeon and Parakeet are not sold as disconnected standalone field experiences. They are accessed through a confirmed Mixed Bag itinerary or another written program. Dove-only programs are available separately throughout the year.
ONE LODGE, MULTIPLE HUNTING STYLES
See the Mixed Bag Experience
Mixed Bag hunting is not designed to rush through several species merely to check boxes. The purpose is to build a balanced itinerary that uses the most suitable morning and afternoon opportunities available during the trip.
Duck, Perdiz and Dove sessions require different terrain, staffing and field preparation. AWS Lodge coordinates those transitions from one operational base, with generally short field transfers and daily adjustments based on current conditions.

PLANNING EXAMPLE
How the Five-Day Mixed Bag Program Is Commonly Structured
This example illustrates the logic of the flagship format. It is not a guaranteed sequence.
Day 1
Arrival, lodge coordination, lunch when timing permits and afternoon Dove shooting.
Day 2
Morning Duck session, midday meal arrangement and afternoon Dove shooting.
Day 3
Morning Perdiz or Duck according to the confirmed program, followed by afternoon Dove.
Day 4
Full day in the field: confirmed morning seasonal session, field lunch and afternoon Dove shooting.
Day 5
Breakfast and departure. Any additional morning hunt must be quoted and confirmed separately.
Day 4 operational note: the standard plan is a full day in the field with a field lunch. A midday return to the lodge or another nonstandard arrangement requires additional transportation and must be quoted and confirmed separately.
The final itinerary depends on trip length, guest priorities, provincial regulations, scouting, weather, daylight, field access, safety and written confirmation. Shorter three-night and custom formats may also be available.
