Glad to hear that! I usually use #5s for teal then bump up to #4s for big duck season so I’ve never tried the smaller shot sizes on any ducks. If I have the same results you’ve had, I’ll be stocking up as these shells were only $4 a box when I found them
They were $20 for 100 here before the last election. I usually shoot 4s but also have some 3s. I'm currently saving them to hopefully use on some Mississippi mallards.
Taking my dad out tomorrow. Don't have high hopes but whenever I take him I cook up breakfast. Y'all check this out:
Old aluminum fish poacher and a butane burner with built-in piezo ignition. $5 worth of crescent rolls and cocktail weiners gets you 2, 2 man breakfasts. Make em up the night before and cook for 10 minutes flipping every 30 seconds. They bake just like they do in the oven and go awesome with coffee from the ole Aladin Stanley thermos.
Best duck hunting gear I own.
