mostly Win Drylock 3's...but I'll drop the hint to some one in my family about some Christmas Hevi shot #6's in my stocking...man, oh man, does that spank 'em. I'm talking not even a wiggle when that duck hits the water.

Hevi in the stocking... it's even better than getting socks and a sleeve of Pro-V1's.

3.5 in. Kent Fast Steel #1s thru a Benelli SKB w/modified choke works best for me in open rice fields. In timber I like #2s or #3s

For:

Ducks in the trees and thick stuff..estate #6 3" steel. It will flat break them down and they aren't getting out of there. It's called "the wall of steel".


Fields and open water...Kent fast steel #4 3" - same as Wildfowler's post.

Geese & Mallards in the peanuts....Kent fast steel #2 3". A little heavy on the ducks in tight so you need to give them some distance. It'll flat put a lesser or a ross on their tail feathers with X's across their eyes too.
