Default RE: What shot size and choke should I use for rabbits?

You will probably get varying responses depending on the area being hunted. I huntthick areas witha lot of taller grass, and prefer #4 shot regardless of 12ga, 20ga or 410. I have a modified choke in my 12ga and 20ga, but I rarely take shots beyond 20 yards.
Get as close as you can if the situation allows. If they are standing still, longer shots can be taken.
