What is High-Volume Dove Hunting?
Redefining the Word "Limitless"
In North America and Europe, a "great" day of dove hunting might mean harvesting 15 birds before reaching the legal limit. In Argentina, "High-Volume" means shooting thousands of shells in a single day with absolutely zero bag limits.
Because the eared dove population in Argentina is estimated at over 50 million birds, they consume massive amounts of local agricultural crops (soy, corn, and sorghum). Consequently, the government classifies them as a pest and encourages unlimited hunting year-round.
The Reality of the Blind
To truly understand high-volume, you have to picture the logistics of the blind:
- Hot Barrels: The action is so fast that hunters typically cycle between two shotguns, allowing one to cool down while firing the other.
- The Secretarios: You will have a dedicated professional "bird boy" who constantly loads your guns and counts your harvest, meaning you never take your eyes off the sky.
- The Pace: A typical hunter will shoot anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 shells per day.
The Ultimate Challenge
At AWS Lodge, high-volume hunting is not just about pulling the trigger; it's a test of stamina and precision. For the most dedicated wingshooters, we offer the chance to join our 1000 Dove Club—an exclusive group of hunters who have successfully harvested 1,000 birds in a single day.
The current record at our lodge stands at an incredible 3,500 doves in one day, a feat accomplished using 3 shotguns and 2 loaders during a single, intense afternoon.
