Rusty, lake Tallequin close to you is great.

Waterfowl (tungsten alloy shot)

One last note: it is a very good idea to pattern your shotgun with whatever load you have selected before you go hunting. I know it is a lot of trouble, but shooting a few test patterns can prevent a lot of grief. Few shotguns shoot all shot sizes equally well, and sometimes going up or down just a single shot size can make a dramatic difference in pattern distribution. Ignorance is not bliss; know before you go.
