BEST SHOTGUN SHELL for GOOSE HUNTING 

So your the one, who killed my brother, I will get revenge someday!

Though I agree with a lot of what you say, I think there is real value in patterning and shooting what patterns best which can actually increase your range you can shoot birds too. I have made noticeably farther shots with 3" #2 low velocity(1450) that pattern well than all the BB and heavy hitting loads that don't pattern well in my gun and usually head shots at that. Taking a look at my patterns tell me why that by taking one quick look at the pattern.

Facts! I love this video! It’s the honest truth about ammo. Glad you made this content. Definitely subscribed

Great info. I’ve always told hunters struggling to hit game, instead of spending all that $ on expensive guns and ammo to make you a better shot spend it on the skeet range or shoot some sporting clays in the off season.

Lots of good data in your video. Modern cheap ammo works very well, especially for decoy work. Only thing I would add is don't forget #1 shot. It patterns better in my gun. Have a great season.

Good one, i really like your intro man!! 👍

I would say if you dont want the 3inch recoil go to the 2 3/4 with heavier shot. Bismuth....

Well said. Totally agree with you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Have been in the field for early 50 years - always used good old 2 3/4" in an old modified choked 1100. And I promise you, I can keep up with anyone. (But I have to admit that I sure miss using lead shot!) Your video is spot on.

I like #2’s for mixed hunts. If it’s a GOOSE hunt usually 1’s or BB. Have used 3’s as well.

Green and learning... Thanks for the video n' God bless

Thank you. Subscribed.

3 1/2 #2s are my preferred choice

Love all the puns!

Excellent info

This video was full of fantastic information! Glad I chose 3" #2 and BB shot. Personally, 3 1/2" shell is just plane mosaicism. "A miss is a miss." FACT! And yes, skeet shooting is a fantastic way to both break in your shotgun and work on your accuracy.

Spot on👌

I agree totally. As a baby boomer who grew up with lead, modern high speed steel will kill as good as lead at any reasonable range. The last couple of years I have even moved down to a 20 gauge sometimes, not always though. I prefer 3 s if I have them.

This is the first time I've heard such logical talk

Needed this. Doing a conservation hunt in March. And as we all know finding any steel shot now days is a reach. Only been able to find federal #2 3”. I’m not a brand snob I just wanna shoot birds. But never shot any geese of any kind.

Good vid bro

Thanks for the input. What is the maximum lethal range? Thanks again for that video.

Great video not what size choke do you use for your average shot?

I agree, the best shells are the cheapest shell available, I use 2 3/4 number 2 steel 1/16

Great info. I bought a 3.5 inch supernova just for the option of shooting 3.5.but I didn't plan on doing so unless needed anyway. Question though, how high is too high when they're flying above? Let's say compared to the average steel bead on a shotgun. How big would the target be? I don't want to be wasting shots on geese that are too high. But I also don't want to let easy shots go if they were actually low enough. Thanks!

8 gauge, 2 1/2oz BB bismuth , fibre wads, homeloads, 60 yards , Zabala Greylag , no survivors

If a 3” shell bruises your shoulder you need to drop your purse

i reload my own ammo right now, before i used federal and kent, T to 3, 7/8 to 1 1/4oz, 2 3/4 and 3 inch shell

Thank you, you answered one of my questions. BB vs No 2. I just wanted to have a one-size shoot for everything. So No. 2 can cover all bases? I was looking for number 1 as a compromise but I can't find it.

I accidentally bought a box of 2 3/4 inch BB steel this year for goose instead of my regular 3 inch. I didn’t notice any difference.

Can you please tell the best chokes for snow geese?

Thanks for the help does it matter the size of the shell like I’m just now switching from 20 to 12 and I don’t know if I could get a smaller size shell to work my way up

I found No 1 steel made by Kent Fasteel. Do you think that is a good compromise for ducks and geese?

I always say that there is no substitute for accuracy.

I use a 10gauge with BB and I have had other people shoot it to with back cloud at 60 yards its right on but using federal and Winchester they shoot low. If I switched to a 12 gauge would it be better when I was younger I was told that the more shot was better.

2 3/4 " 1 1/2 oz load 4shot . Fastlead is good too

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I know this is a old video but never know someone might answer. So cheap 3 inch #2 got it. What choke construction would you suggest for speckle belly geese at 30-40 yards?

God bless you

Do you like mod or full for choke I’ve always used BB but that’s just what Dad used

Up here in Alaska, I like to shoot 1 1/8 steel 2s for ducks, will 1 1/8 2s be fine for Canada Geese?

What’s the name of song playing I beginning of video? Good information, 100% agree. Thanks

#3 work great #2 as well BB is okay but gotta aim better.

Just got started waterfowl hunting. What is the best 12 gauge choke to start with for duck and geese?

Just wondering would number 3 shot be good for geese to?

I have used steel shot shell size 2,3,4, can't hit turkey over 50 yards. I had no problem with lead, but since the law have changed in California, I missed my target a lot on steel shots. I am using Benelli 12 gauge 28 inches. Will expensive shotgun change the game? I'm thinking about buying a browning 12 gauge 28 inches for $1500.

Any suggestions for our next hunting video?

FIOCCHI GOLDENGOOSE 3 1/2, #1, 1 5/8oz. OUT TO 63 yrds WITH MY SX4 !!! "MICHIGAN GOOSEMAN" !

Summary: for geese, cheapest 3" steel shot with shot size 2 or BB.

What is the name of the song The first one we were born to hunt?

I think 'BB' is perfect bro.

To each their own. I do not have a shared experience. As someone who could slaughter a limit of Pheasants on a regular bases yet also spend 15+ years with mediocre results buying the cheapest ammo I could find on a Walmart sale for Geese, I finally got wise enough to experiment on paper. Here’s what I discovered through three different brands of shotgun. Cheap steel high velocity ammunition is garbage for holding a tight enough pattern to ethically kill past 25 yards. This is both with factory choke tubes and a couple quality choke tube brands such as Kicks and Pattern Master. Interesting enough, the high velocity ammunition actually scatters much worse with a aftermarket choke than with a factory choke. I used a pallet with paper stapled to it. This still was not a big enough target to capture the full pattern from cheap ammo with any choke combo at 25 yards. With this cheap ammo You will wound plenty of Geese, but that’s not really my cup of tea. That Winchester ammo is a little easier on the pockets upfront, but when you have to shoot 2-3 times the amount of shells to actually kill, it’s not really the most intelligent choice unless you’re shooting at close range over decoys. Most of my Goose hunting is pass shooting. My advice to anyone looking to instantly increase their kills in a pass shooting situation is this. Pattern Master Choke tubes are worth every penny! Check out some reviews for yourself. I personally run the Code Black Goose with ammo of a velocity of 1300-1500fps. I have mainly been shooting 3” because it’s all I can seem to find in my area. Kent, Hevi, Federal, from #2 - BB will do the trick. If you’re not killing more geese within the first outing or two then you need to work on accuracy and timing. I personally went from shooting a few Geese per season to killing 2-5 per hunt by simply changing to this setup.

Man hurt feelings straight out the gate didn’t he

Ammo goose Amongus

Ya, it's not my equipment... It's me!

how does a guy become a professional hunting mentor?

You are not acounting pellet spread

What shot size #1?

What about ducks?

Amogus ammogoose

A bad workman always blames his tools

hit on nose and used no 8

3.5” has way more jam than 3”.

Brand doesnt matter but dont buy Winchester biggest garbage out there

Only made it to the 1:57 mark. Arrogant. Patterning is the first thing that should be mentioned. I don’t care how accurate you are if YOUR shotgun is shooting patterns with holes the size of bowling balls accuracy means nothing. Go watch surviving duck seasons newest videos and figure it out.

100 PERCENT CORRECT. put eotech 65 moa ring on 20 gauge stoeger auto. .perfect leed every time
