Shot size for ducks

[yooper]

Seems like this topic always sparks alot of debate.....

I use 2 3/4" #4 when I hunt over blocks and have killed many birds out to 40 yards.

When I jump-shoot ponds I switch to 3" BB's.

My goose medicine is a 10 gauge loaded with BB.

3.5" mag. #2 for ringnecks and divers!
and 3.5" #4 for puddle ducks! 1 usually buy a case of #4's and split a case of #2's with a buddy!

I buy about 5 box's of 3" #2's a year, I never know if i'm puddle jumping or sitting over decoys. Depends on the weather here in AZ.

I shoot 2 3/4" #4's, steel. Sometimes I use 3" #4's. Back in the dinosaur days, I used 2 3/4 #6 lead. SR
