I may hit the early seasons for first time in years this September and October. What load would you shoot for geese? 3-inch 2’s or 3’s?

Blind Side 3” #2s they are ab the same size as a round #1! Holler at me if you find any around Gville worth setting up on! I know you just shoot them off the front of the bass boat though lol!!!!

Gosh, I can't get 2's to pattern in 20 GA. If you can, seems like a good option. I prefer 4's in my 20 GA for everything I want to shoot with it.

I think Ninji is reading my mind. Everywhere I’ve been, there’s been tons of em flying over.
Some have little ones. And the adults will be molting soon. I seen a big flock swim by me underneath the East Lake bridge this morning. It just seemed odd to see them swimming under a bridge.

A Canada goose is a big, tough bird! A 20 gauge will kill them effectively. If you are using steel shot then the effective range of a 20 gauge will be less than a 12 gauge. The problem is that a bird landing at 50-60 looks as big as a B52 bomber. Hard not to take that shot. The pellets are the same as 12 gauge pellets but there will be significantly less pellets. If you are going to use a 20 gauge then I would suggest spending a little $$ on bismuth or tungsten shells. Using smaller, heavier pellets will increase pattern density and penetrate better.

They wear it over there at Tucker Milling in the parking lot, I guess they drop a bit of feed when loading them trucks but they are always loaded in there! Would depend on the day and who you asked if you could get away with hunting there though!!!
