Default a few questions from a beginner

hey guys...had a few questions. i went goose hunting for my first time a few weeks ago and loved it, however, we didn' t harvest too many birds. i' m going again this fri. and sat and need some pointers. the birds weren' t as plentiful as i would' ve liked but we did get two flyby' s at about 50 to 60 yards. i shoot a 12 ga. browning gold hunter and i was using a modified invector plus choke tube with 3 in. steel shot BBs. i' m a pretty good shot, dead on with trap and skeet and i' ve never had trouble shooting doves or quail and i felt like i was dead-on but the birds weren' t falling like i expected. were they out of range, was my shot ouncing off and not powerful enough at that distance, what went wrong?? could you guys give me some suggestions on what choke i should use, load (should i go up to 3 1/2?), and finally what' s a good beginner call? i know that' s a bunch, but i' ll take any advice i can get. i really appreciate it.
