12ga. Silver Hunter w/ 3" or 3.5" Kent Faststeel #2s
2.75" or 3", #2 or #4s when I'm in woodie territory

Shoot em wit hevy shot and all you will hear is SPLASH....CAJUN
Benelli Nova, 3" #2, Improved Cylinder Choke.
I like shooting 2.75 but they are too hard to find now.
May the wind be to your back and the Ducks in yo face.!!!

20 ga o/u with 3" bismuth or heavy shot is a killin' thing. It also works well with fast steel. I just like to shoot it.
12 ga gold hunter does the work in unfriendly environs such as salt, trudging through muck, heavy rain, etc., or when I run out of shells for the 20. It might see more action this year since I have a better store of 12 ga shells as opposed to 20s.
SBE2 w/kent fasteel #2's 1 3/8 oz 3in.
Winchester 20 gauge pump with Hevi-Shot #4. It's lighter, less recoil than a 12, kills 'em deader than hell. Even Tundra Swans don't stand a chance against it.
12 or 20 gauge 870(depends on what i can manage to find shells for) 3" #4 kents
shoot 2's
They say the only time a fishermen tells the truth is when he tells you another fisherman is a liar.
SBE 1 with 3" #4's Gonna try some #3's this year. For woodies, i'll usually load up some 2 3/4 #4's. Really like the nitro steel. Had good luck with them. Also briley light modified choke dusts em. If i can find me a nice 3" A5, gonna shoot it this year instead of the Benelli.

Beretta AL391 Urika 2 "American Waterfowler" with kick-off (12 gauge)
For general duck whackage, 3" Kent Fasteel #2's - 1 1/8 ounce. May try 1¼ ounce this year.
For geese - Usually Kent 3" BB's.... although I have used #1's for close-in shooting, or when I want ONE load in the gun for ducks or geese (#1's hit ducks like the proverbial Hammer of Thor)
For woodies in close timber or for teal... I am thinkin' of using Kent #4's... I may try to use my 20 gauge on them this year in tight places as well.
"Only accurate rifles are interesting " - Col. Townsend Whelen
Xtrema 2 with 3" Kent Fasteel #4s until the woodie flight is over, then inject some 3" Kent Fasteel #2s - 1 1/8oz at 1560fps.
I don't need my name in the marquee lights....
