shoot the fastest lead you can find. i have too many cripples with 8 shot and 6 seems too big for such a diminutive fowl.

I'm trying to remember.....if I'm out in the open I typically shoot a Mod. in the bottom barrel and a Full in the top barrel. If I'm sitting next to some trees where i'm partially obstructed I'll then use a IM in the bottom and a Full in top barrel.

All in all, a Mod. is a good choice. Just remember to lead and follow through!
