Argentina Mixed Bag Hunt: Dove & Duck
Why settle for just one species? Argentina Mixed Bag Hunting is the ultimate challenge for the international wingshooter. Unlike the dry hills of Córdoba, which are primarily limited to doves, the lush wetlands of Entre Ríos allow AWS Lodge to offer the "Holy Trinity" of South American hunting: High-Volume Dove, Decoyed Ducks, and Perdiz over pointing dogs—all from a single lodge.
The Logistics Advantage: Why We Beat Córdoba
Most mixed-bag programs in Argentina require a logistical nightmare: arriving at Buenos Aires International (EZE), transferring across the city to the domestic airport (AEP), waiting for a flight, flying to Córdoba or Northern Argentina, and then driving another 2-3 hours. You lose two full days of your trip just in travel.
At AWS Lodge, we hunt smarter. located just a 2-hour drive (or private transfer) from Buenos Aires International Airport. You land in the morning, and by noon, you are in the field shooting. No domestic flights, no weight limits on baggage, and no wasted days. This unique location allows us to offer the most time-efficient and diverse Argentina duck hunting and mixed-bag packages in the country.
Experience the Diversity
Watch the action unfold. From the morning duck blinds in the wetlands to the adrenaline of high-volume dove shooting in the afternoon.
Why Entre Rios?
True Mixed Bag hunting requires specific geography: Marshlands for ducks, Pastures for perdiz, and Roosts for doves. We have all three within a short drive of the lodge. This minimizes drive times and maximizes hunting time.

The Mixed Bag Season
To hunt all three main species (Duck, Perdiz, Dove), you must come during the Argentine winter.
Prime Season: May 15th to August 15th.
This is when Duck and Perdiz seasons are open. Doves are available year-round, but the combination is a winter exclusive.
The Daily Rhythm
A classic Mixed Bag day starts with Duck hunting over decoys at sunrise. We return to the lodge for a gourmet lunch and a siesta. The afternoon is dedicated to Perdiz hunting over pointing dogs or high-volume Dove/Pigeon shooting until sunset.
Mixed Bag FAQ
Yes. You are the boss. If you prefer to hunt Ducks every morning and Doves every afternoon, we make it happen. If you want to focus on Perdiz or Pigeons, just let us know.
It is classic upland hunting. We walk through short grass pastures behind trained pointing dogs (Brittanys or Setters). It is a gentleman's hunt—lower volume, but high skill and elegance.
Usually, yes. Since our fields are close, we often return to the lodge for a gourmet lunch and a siesta between the morning Duck hunt and the afternoon Upland/Dove shoot.
Not necessarily. A 20-gauge semi-auto is perfect for Doves and Perdiz. For Ducks, some prefer 12-gauge, but a 20-gauge with magnum loads works excellently. We provide guns that can handle it all.
Just like our other programs, you land in Buenos Aires (EZE) and we drive you directly to the lodge (2 hours from the city or 2 hours 40 mins from the airport). No domestic flights required.
Since it's winter (May-Aug), bring layers. Camo is recommended for Ducks and Pigeons. Comfortable walking boots are a must for the Perdiz fields.

TRUSTED BY SERIOUS HUNTERS
"Honestly the best wingshooting trip of my life. The high-volume dove shooting is exactly as advertised - non-stop action. The lodge is luxurious and the staff makes you feel like family."
"I was skeptical about the 'no internal flights' claim, but it's true. Landed in BA and was hunting by the afternoon. The mixed bag program allowed me to hunt ducks and perdiz in the same trip. Top notch."
"The food alone is worth the trip. The asados in the field were incredible. If you are looking for a luxury lodge near Buenos Aires, this is the one. Can't wait to return next season."
