What's the minimum number of shells you feel comfortable with duck hunting?

Most times I like to have at least two boxes of shells, but I know some states have a 1 box limit. What's your take on this? What's the fewest shells you feel comfortable going in with?

One box but I hunt with an o/u so I shoot a 1/3 less shells than most duck hunters. (Not a big duck hunter so take that for what it's worth)

Probably for the most part 15-20 shells if it's just me. But I always bring more for my buddies if they come. Plus it plain sucks when no one has any left and you need a few more.

I bring two boxes because I suck at shooting and I let my friends use some of my shells all the time @MallardMaster.

When I'm going after specs I might bring 5 shells

I typically only hunt woodies and just bring 6 shells. Makes things more interesting.

2 in the tube and a handful in my front pocket. If I wait til they land I can usually kill multiples with one shot.

Keep 2 boxes in my bag at all times. Just never know when you may need them.

A dozen or so if I'm by myself. 2 boxes if I'm with other people.

2 boxes

I would hate to run out. Some days I shoot decent, others I strike out quite a bit.
