RE: pass shooting
with geese that close and mergs at that distance id go with a mod choke and #2 for an all around load ... i use 2's on geese all the time ... as far as mergs i would go with the 2 or 4's ..... why dont ya toss out a few dekes and try croakin the mergs in closer .... works for me .... years ago i had alot of people that wanted to hunt hooded mergs (for mounts) so i came up with the idea of usin an old wood duck decoy .... cut a slit on the head and inserted a piece of flat plastic ... a bit of epoxy and sum paint and made a drake hoodie (also weighted the keel) .... worked like a charm !!! just an idea to throw at ya
