Dove hunting is available year-round at AWS Lodge. September through March is generally preferred for a trip focused on pure high-volume Dove shooting. The usual mid-May through mid-August period is preferred for Mixed Bag programs combining Doves with seasonal Ducks or Perdiz. April remains huntable but is generally the most variable month for peak-volume planning.
The best date depends on the guest’s goal rather than one universal best month.
Current scouting, crop activity, weather, rainfall, wind, daylight, field access, and bird movement can affect any individual day.
Generally longer daylight and warmer seasonal conditions. Offers more flexibility for Dove-focused morning and afternoon sessions. Preferred for programs built principally around high-volume Dove shooting, though no volume or harvest guarantee is made.
Explore High-Volume HuntingNormally the preferred planning period for this objective. Qualification depends on verified harvest, hunter performance, safety, and current field conditions. Qualification is not guaranteed.
View 1,000 Dove Club RulesSeasonal Ducks and Perdiz may be combined with Dove shooting. Mornings are commonly used for Ducks or Perdiz, while Dove shooting is commonly scheduled in the afternoon. Dates and species depend on provincial authorizations and the confirmed itinerary.
Explore Mixed Bag SeasonSuitable for travelers already staying in Buenos Aires. September through March is generally preferred when pure Dove volume is the priority, though other months may work with flexible expectations and suitable current conditions. Availability and logistics require confirmation.
Explore Half-Day OptionsFeatures warmer conditions and longer daylight. These months may suit guests combining shooting with lodge, family, pool, or Buenos Aires activities, depending on their climate preferences. AWS Lodge has a 24-meter saltwater swimming pool where guests can cool down after the day’s shooting. Weather and temperature remain date-specific.
Features cooler conditions and shorter daylight. Best suited to guests prioritizing seasonal variety rather than maximum pure-Dove daylight. Final schedules depend on the selected program.
Generally a preferred period for pure high-volume Dove hunting. Features increasing daylight and warmer conditions suitable for multi-day Dove programs. Field performance remains dependent on scouting, crops, weather, and bird movement.
Generally within the preferred pure-Dove period. These months offer long daylight and warm conditions, making them suitable for high-volume programs and family-oriented stays. AWS Lodge has a 24-meter saltwater swimming pool where guests can cool down after shooting.
Hot conditions require hydration, suitable clothing, pacing, and appropriate breaks. When weather and field conditions permit, individual shooting-position fans may also be arranged. They are included in selected premium programs and may be added to base programs at an additional cost, subject to written confirmation.
April remains huntable. It is generally the least preferred month for a major trip based solely on peak high-volume expectations. Harvest transitions, autumn rainfall, field access, and changing bird movement can create variability.
Strong shooting can still occur when conditions align, and it may suit flexible guests already visiting Buenos Aires. Current scouting should be reviewed before confirmation.
Dove hunting continues, though days are shorter and the Dove session structure differs from warmer months. The usual Mixed Bag planning window is approximately mid-May through mid-August, as Ducks and Perdiz are seasonal and regulated.
Mixed Bag mornings are commonly used for Ducks or Perdiz, with Dove shooting commonly scheduled in the afternoon. Pure-Dove guests should receive date-specific guidance.
Neither session is universally better. Dove movement changes with season, crops, weather, wind, current feeding patterns, scouting, and the selected field.
Longer daylight gives more scheduling flexibility. Morning and afternoon Dove sessions may both be used, with the exact timing depending on current conditions.
Daylight is shorter, meaning morning Dove opportunities may be shorter than during warmer months. In Mixed Bag programs, mornings are commonly reserved for Ducks or Perdiz, while Dove shooting is commonly scheduled in the afternoon.
AWS Lodge confirms the daily structure for the selected dates rather than promising the same timetable throughout the year.
AWS Lodge operates multiple Dove fields and selects each session according to current scouting and operating conditions, but no field selection can guarantee a fixed number of shots or Doves harvested.
April can work, but it is generally not the first recommendation for a traveler building an international trip solely around maximum high-volume Dove shooting.
April may suit guests already visiting Buenos Aires, a flexible short Dove experience, travelers prepared for date-specific guidance, guests prioritizing the lodge experience rather than a record attempt, and groups able to adapt to current field and weather conditions.
Guests prioritizing maximum pure-Dove volume, a 1,000 Dove Club attempt, or a major Dove-focused international trip should generally consider September through March first.
Ask About Current April ConditionsThe usual Mixed Bag planning window is approximately mid-May through mid-August, commonly around May 15 to August 15. Final dates, available species, limits, permits, and field operations depend on the provincial regulations and authorizations in effect for that season.
During this period, Doves remain part of the program, while Ducks and Perdiz are seasonal. Morning and afternoon structures vary, and the written itinerary confirms the species and sessions. Mixed Bag season is distinct from the preferred pure high-volume Dove period.
Explore Mixed Bag SeasonYes, subject to field availability and a confirmed itinerary. Travelers already staying in Buenos Aires may be able to add a short Dove experience with one afternoon shooting session and a same-day return to the city.
This can be considered year-round. September through March is generally preferred for pure high-volume goals, while April or winter dates may work with flexible expectations. A "Half-Day" refers to the shooting session, not transportation and lunch time. Transfer and return timing require confirmation.
Explore Short StaysSeptember through March is generally the preferred planning period for guests whose main goal is a high-volume Dove milestone.
Club qualification depends on verified Doves harvested, hunter performance, safety, current field conditions, and the written club rules. It is never guaranteed.
View 1,000 Dove Club RulesOn selected January and February weekends, guests may be able to add a local Carnival visit after the hunting program when event dates, transportation, guest interest, and the confirmed itinerary align.
Carnival is an optional cultural extension and is not automatically included. It depends on the local event calendar, transportation, guest interest, and the confirmed itinerary. Saturday availability must be verified in advance, and the activity is entirely separate from shooting results.

September through March is generally the preferred period for pure high-volume Dove programs.
April remains huntable, but it is generally the most variable month for peak-volume planning due to harvest transitions and autumn weather. It suits flexible guests, but it is not the top recommendation for maximum volume.

September through March is generally the preferred planning period, though qualification is never guaranteed and depends on field conditions, performance, and safety.
January and February are generally within the preferred pure-Dove period, but they can bring hot conditions. AWS Lodge has a 24-meter saltwater swimming pool where guests can cool down after shooting. Hydration, pacing, breaks, and suitable clothing remain important.

No, it is optional and date-dependent. It may be added to selected weekend itineraries when event calendars, transportation, and interest align.
No. No field selection or seasonal date can guarantee a fixed number of shots or Doves harvested.
Early planning is recommended for preferred seasonal windows, private-group requests, and Mixed Bag dates, ensuring availability for your group's specific goals.
Tell AWS Lodge whether your priority is pure high-volume Dove shooting, a short experience from Buenos Aires, Mixed Bag variety, warmer weather, cooler conditions, a family-oriented stay, or a 1,000 Dove Club attempt. The lodge can then review availability, current scouting, daylight, field conditions, regulations, and the most suitable itinerary.
