So many good points especially number #1 and #5!!!!!!!

Hub and I have our differences in the past--

This post in some of the best advice--you can get--all points are excellent and valid--

Large shot, 12 guage, open choke, and yes you should fire that shot, if the bird flutters down. Use an auto, and load it with 5 magnum rounds of lead shot.

I have always shot a full choke. That is what I grew up with. I am not likely to change at this point in my life. I think that I am more likely to either kill the bird or miss it completely because of the tight pattern, what thoughts do the rest of you have?

Full chokes blow a big hole in a bird, and ruin it.
