lk ozark Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 THEIR SEEMS TO BE HUNTERS ON BOTH SIDES. Most agree on IC for the choke. Anyone had exprience with either ? Quote
SDoolittle Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I've used both. I'd start with the #7 shot on opening day, and go to #6 after that. Quote
gobig Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 One thing I have seen with steel is that different brands can really pattern different. You can end up with big holes in your pattern. Steel is also going to hold a much tighter pattern than lead. So shooting a IC is like shooting a modified. I would go out and pattern the gun in both shot sizes with a few different brands. 1 Quote
preach4bass Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Are you required to use steel shot? If not, what is the advantage over regular ol' cheap lead shot? Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 ic choke and 6's is what I always shot. Just dont shoot them close. Quote
SDoolittle Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Are you required to use steel shot? If not, what is the advantage over regular ol' cheap lead shot? Based on his location, I would assume that he's hunting a conservation area that is managed primarily for waterfowl. Quote
lk ozark Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Bird dog got it right.I got drawn for a day hunt at Columbia Bottoms in north St. Louis County. It's also a DNR duck hunting area. Quote
MuffinMan Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 6's with a modified choke if your a good shot, 8's with an IC if your not. Quote
