Help Please!!!
 

I am leaving in two weeks to go to Arkansas on a duck hunt. I am from the panhandle of Florida and I do duck hunt here but its mostly woodies. I will be taking a Barreta Al391 Urikaand a Browning Citori over and under. What shell and choke combo do you guys recommend. I was thinking about going with the Winchester Supreme steel or the Federal Black Cloud. What size shot do you recommend?I usually shoot Winchester Dryloc #2 or #3.We will be hunting over flooded rice fields. Thanks for your help.

I would use what you already use. The Winchester is a good brand. If you will be pass shooting, then move up to BB if it patterns well out of your gun.

As said = I sue 2s and 3s - Modified choke ONLY! or Improved Modified - Full choke with steel is a No-no.

Stick with the no. 2 shot. To increase your chances of killing moreducks, go with an IC choke.

I love Fasteel in #1's. I shoot with an improved-cylinder choke.

RE: Help Please!!!
 

Your DryLocs will work fine. I have used them for years. Black Cloud is also a great choice if you use the correct choke with it, which is IC.

We recently had a lively discussion on shells. Everyonewas friendly and agreedwith each otheras towhich shells are the best at this link ;): http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=3121977

Thanks guys. I hope the ducks will cooperate when we get up there. I guess I will just keep shooting the Winchester steel. Probably the Supreme 3in. #2's.

Call me crazy but i would go with 3" #4 I would also stick with the Drylocs as well. I would use a Modified choke too it seams to be the best all around choke. Like Rory/Mo said you cant go wrong with Kent Fasteel.

RE: Help Please!!!
 

One question that may have some bearing on the shot and chokeI'd use, are you hunting timber or fields in Arkansas?

RE: Help Please!!!
 

Rice fields. Next to last sentence.

As Rory was going to point out... shots in the timber are a lot tighter than those in the rice fields CAN be.

Your supreme #2s with a Mod choke should be just the ticket. If you decide to shoot the O/U and the birds work real tight... use a IC/Mod... if they are lighting wide... go with a Mod/ImpMod.

On windy... sunshine days in the timber.... I've had to put the old straight Cylendar choke in... nothing like mallards at 15 yards baby!
