Shells shot and types for ducks

[all star rod]

Just wondering what most of the duck hunters shoot......

I mostly hunt rice fields so during teal season I shoot 3" 1-1/4oz # 4 shot. I used to shoot same lenght and oz in #6 but Estates quit making shells a few years ago. They were great for teal.
Early in Big Duck season I shoot the same shells listed above in #3 and 4 shot. Later in the year I use 3-1/2", 1-3/8" oz #2 or #3 especially since we get some geese and the duck get decoy shy. I mostly use RIO, Winchester Xpert or Kents......

Black Cloud ALL THE WAY!! Who doesn't love paying $30 a pop for a box.

Nah jk...I like to use pretty much the same thing, Winchester 3" 1-1/4oz #4s. Only thing I hunt is marsh and kill mostly teals regardless of the time of year.

Early season, 3" #4's.
Late season, 3" #2's.

Never tried the Black Clouds.....I hate paying over 15 bucks for a box of shells.... Where I hunt, we have to sky bust too much due to all the hunting pressure so I use the cheap stuff.....

I was thinking about getting a box or 2 to try when big duck season rolls around.....I know of a few guys that use them and feel they are worth the money.....BOTB, when I win our football bet, I will get a box with my winnings....

During teal I shoot 2 3/4 # 6 and big ducks usually black cloud #3s r Kent #3s. I usually buy a case of black clouds and then finish the season with kents

I use the winchester xpert #3 3" I bought some win drylok which are more expensive, only diff. is there is a different wad that keeps powder and primer dry if the loads get wet. I don't know if its worth the $5 extra. I'm thinking about buying a new shotgun, mine is getting old and I need a new choke, I really want either a real good semi-auto or a double barrel.
