What size dose everyone use for geese and ducks? (mod,improved mod or full) I'm useing a mod but all I got is a 20 Ga. and I know that is small for geese but it's all I got so what do you think I should use? Thanks.

Keep in mind that steel patterns tighter than lead. You do not want to over choke. Mod. should be plenty.

i use a mod, but my brother always wants to hunt from the boat, and all those mallards steer very clear from us(about 90yds), so i need like a .30-06 or somethin!!!

Thank god this year i can hunt alone, i just gotta make a blind.

I'm not sure now,lol, but it seems like most of yall said mod and thats what I've been using for ducks so I think I'll stick with that, thanks again every one. OH and camelcluch made a great point about steel shootin tighter, I had forgot about that so thanks! rtrudeau, I didn't know that Kent made #1 steel I'm gonna have to get me some of that!

One more thing, Steel is not soft like lead. If you over choke there is a chance of blowing up the the barrel of scoring. A mod. choke if about full for lead.
