The 10 Essential Accessories for Dove Hunting

Dove hunting, a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, is not only about skill but also about having the right equipment. At AWS Lodge, we have learned that quality gear can elevate your hunting experience, ensuring both comfort and safety.

In this guide, we will explore the 10 essential accessories for dove hunting that enhance both your efficiency and enjoyment in the field. From reliable shotguns to lightweight clothing, each item on this list is a crucial part of the dove hunting journey.

1. Lightweight and Breathable Hunting Apparel

Comfort is key for any successful dove hunt. The right apparel, designed to wick away sweat, keeps you cool and dry throughout long hours in the field. At AWS Lodge, our hunters value clothing that allows free movement while providing durability under the Argentine sun.

2. Durable Hunting Vest with Ample Pockets

A quality hunting vest is a hunter's best friend. Look for one with enough pocket space for shells, calls, and other essentials. At our lodge, we know that easy access to gear can make all the difference during a hunt, and a well-organized vest keeps your hands free for quick shots.

3. Comfortable and Rugged Hunting Boots

Navigating diverse terrains is part of the adventure, and having sturdy, waterproof boots is essential. At AWS Lodge, we've seen how a good pair of boots can protect against wet conditions and sharp objects, making long days in the field more manageable.

4. Camouflage Clothing for Stealth

Blending in with the environment is crucial. Choose camouflage patterns that match the specific terrain where you’ll be hunting. Whether it’s the green fields around Buenos Aires or drier open areas, staying undetectable by doves increases your success rate.

5. Reliable Shotgun and Ammunition

The shotgun is the heart of any hunt. At AWS Lodge, we prefer using quality 12 or 20 gauge shotguns, specifically paired with 7.5 or 8 shot ammunition, for the best results in dove hunting. We also emphasize maintaining your firearm with a good cleaning kit to ensure consistent performance.

6. Hunting Chair or Stool for Comfort

Hunting can involve long periods, and a comfortable hunting chair or stool can make all the difference. At AWS Lodge, we have the best chairs available for this activity.

7. Protective Shooting Glasses

Safety is paramount, and protective glasses not only shield your eyes from debris but also enhance visibility in varying light conditions. At AWS Lodge, we recommend shooting glasses with UV protection and anti-glare features, vital for early morning or late afternoon hunts.

8. Hearing Protection Devices

Prolonged exposure to shotgun blasts can affect hearing. AWS Lodge hunters use electronic earmuffs or high-quality earplugs that reduce harmful noise while allowing ambient sounds, such as bird calls, to be heard. Earplugs can be provided by AWS Lodge.

9. You!

Yes, you are an essential part of the hunt. Without your passion, patience, and hunting spirit, the best gear in the world wouldn’t be enough. Remember, your skills and enthusiasm are what make every hunt a unique adventure.

10. Doves

Let’s face it—without doves, there wouldn’t be much of a dove hunt! These swift, challenging birds make every outing exciting. At AWS Lodge, we promise you’ll encounter plenty of them, ensuring a thrilling experience every time.

Preparation is everything.

Dove hunting at AWS Lodge combines tradition, skill, and the right gear. We look forward to having you for a unique adventure in our shooting fields.
