Yep. That's about all I use to hunt wood ducks in AL. Winchester SX3 20 gauge and some 3 inch Kent Faststeel will get the job done at 30 yards or less. The only weakness in my setup is the shooter. All about picking your shots.

All I hunt with now. But, I do have a 3 acre swamp and the 20 is plenty. Going to a .410 a bit next season.

I’ve never heard of anyone using a 20. Some guys I hunt with use 3.5” 12 gauge for ducks. No thanks. There was a 20 in the blind when we shot sandhills this year. He didn’t have a problem killing them at all.

Back when I duck hunted all I carried was a 20. Killed em graveyard dead in decoys. No need for more gun. Thank god I quit duck hunting This. I once killed 2 geese with one shot with a 20. Granted, I was walking in to set up on a point and they were roosted there. One stretches his wings and I cut down. I was shocked when I went to pick him up and there were 2 of them. I shot 3” 6’s in the lead days. Went to 3” 2’s, 3’s and 4’s when steel came along. I might duck hunt again at some point. But it won’t be hard core like it used to be. Guys I talked to thus year said there just weren’t a lot of ducks around Gville.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”
