I shoot a 20ga SX3 and generally shoot Federal Speed Shok in 2 3/4" #4 steel or Herters 3" 7/8oz # 2 shot. To be honest they are the least expensive options available locally and our shooting is tight over decoys at under 30 yards generally. If I can get it at a decent price Kent Fasteel 3" 7/8oz 2's are my fave. They will stone geese dead out to 40-45 yds through my 20ga. I never change chokes, I leave the factory supplied IC choke in it for everything. It might be rusted in by now! LOLThat is a good lifetime for most of us! What’s your go-to ammunition?
Definitely!Not a bad year Ducks,Geese,Cranes and a nice Quill to boot,probably a lot less pressure without the guys from the states hunting.
Well done.

Yes they sure are. They have a texture very similar to beef and have a very pleasant mild flavour. They are great in a stir fry, roasted or in a meat pie. We use the big giant canadas for jerky both ground and whole muscle. Lesser Canadas and Snows we use for smoked snack sticks, ground jerky and slow cooker recipes such as pulled goose. Sandhill cranes we slice thin, wrap in bacon and throw them on the bbq for appetizers. My wife doesn't care for eating the ducks so I keep a few for myself and give the rest to a few friends who really like them.Forgot to ask, are the specks really better to eat than Canada's?
