Guest batesdball Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just started hunting two years ago and can't wait to go on my first goose hunt this fall. We'll be hunting Canadas in Ohio. Problem is I've spent my life savings on my daughters softball "career". I have no more allowance and only have these two guns a Mossberg 835 with a 24" barrel (3 1/2 shell) and a Winchester 1200 (2 3/4 shell)with a 28" barrel. Which should I use and what choke would you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: what gun? I would use the mossberg with a modified or a patternmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exturkinator Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: what gun? definitely go with the shoulder howitzer (3 1/2er's for geese is nice)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_drop Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: what gun? i would use the 835 with 3 1/2 inch chamber buy some kent fasteel 1 9/16 ounce 1 shot. kills geese like no other out of a mod to a super full goose choke.

dogdoc Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: what gun? welcome to the forum partner. no doubt the 835. killed my first goose with the 835. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: what gun? [ QUOTE ] welcome to the forum partner. todd [/ QUOTE ] I'll second that!! Welcome!! Take the 835. You can't fit many BB or BBB shot in a 2 3/4" shell. besides......you won't have to get the wood on your Winchester all wet & muddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
