lil hunter Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Wat number shot Those will work, maybe not quite as well, but they will do. You ma wanna use a slightly tighter choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Wat number shot It will work. I have shot geese with #2 shot. I would not recommend, but have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Wat number shot I have used 1's before they will work, i would atleast use a modified choke. I prefer BB or BBB goodluck you might want too save those 1s for duck season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Wat number shot They will work just fine. I've killed geese with #2s and had no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Wat number shot Depends what kiind of goose hunting you're doing. If you've got them coming into decoys shooting #2s or #1s should be no problem, but I'd recommend picking up some BB / BBB / T shot as your 3rd shot. When I goose hunt I usually start with a 3" 2 chill or 1 chill as my lead shot and then back it up with BB or BBB for shot 2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benelli_man_84 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Wat number shot Dude, I shoot a double barrel 10 guage at geese coming into dekes and I shoot 3 1/2" shells in T or TT shot. I ahve some 12 guage shells in bb, but I hate them. The bigger the shot, the less pellets need to hit them to bring them down. When I shoot at a goose, I rarely miss. I know when I have hit them, b/c they drop. Hunting on a field does help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gfourhunter Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: Wat number shot i like using T loads or even F just the fact of quicker kill and easer to clean out 3 or 4 big holes in the breast then 20 or 30 you get with lighter loads. the 1 shot steel will work ok for decoying birds but i wouldn't use it for high flyers or pass shooting, just my thoughts. good luck! ---------------------- its called hunting, not killing!

carbonhunter Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: Wat number shot For geese I use BB,BBB's Tried T's for awhile but was having ALOT of cripples. For ducks I use 1,2 in steel, and 2's, 4's in bismuth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benelli_man_84 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: Wat number shot If you had cripples with T's , then you need to go get a good choke for your gun and PATTERN IT!!!! The T shot has a lot more knockdown power. Try a tighter choke than the one you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
