I’ll be hunting near Proctor, AR next weekend and then in Palmetto, LA the weekend after. I’ve been told 2 and I’ve been told 4. What would y’all recommend?

Not exactly sure where in Palmetto just yet. It’s family land that is owned by a buddy of mine.
So it’s just a matter of preference on size. Thanks for the help fellas

I shoot #4 Hevi Shot. It patterns well in my Beretta and usually kills them dead for almost no follow up cripple shots. I have even killed geese with it.

I shoot 3.5 BBs. Don’t worry about any cripples and have enough umph in case a goose flies over.

Federal #4’s. Kicks high flyer full choke

Really depends on what you are likely to see. I have been shooting #3 shot this year and like it a lot.
