Our first rule of thumb is to bring whatever you are the
most familiar with and most comfortable with. This
applies for clothing and guns.
Fowl Play Guide Service provides all the blinds, stands, and
decoys. Your help in setting up a large decoy spread
is appreciated, but you can certainly kick back and watch if
you want to.
Shotgun for waterfowling:
Most of our shooting is done in close over decoys and your
favorite 12 or 20 gauge will do just fine at these short
ranges. However, this is one case where a little extra
doesn't hurt and may help reduce crippled birds, especially
with large geese. So we suggest a 12 gauge 3" or 3 1/2" if
you have one.
Ammunition:
3" or 3 1/2 " BB or #2 for geese
(steel
or non toxic shot only)
3" or 3 1/2" #2 or #4 for ducks
(steel
or non toxic shot only)
