Hi all,

I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

This is my first post, I'm new to the forums here. Thanks for having me. I'm more of a slug or rifle hunter, and I'm unfamiliar with shot sizes and their uses.

So this is less of a hunting issue than it is an extermination issue.

My mom lives in Amish country PA. She has some Guinea Fowl messing up her garden. The birds don't belong to anybody. There are a dozen of them.

I have an 870 with a full choke, and I have three boxes of shells. The shells I have are #4 shot, #8 shot, and #9 shot.

My question is this, Assuming these birds are as stupid as people say, and I can get the jump on them, Which shells would be best suited to killing all of these bastards and why?

Thanks much!
