Cost of Hevi Shot & Remington HD

[M.T. Pockets]

Fabs,

I booked a waterfowl hunt for 2007 in Saskatchewan. I asked the outfitter what kind of shot he recommended we bring.

I was expecting him to say something like 3.5 BB's for geese, and 3" #2's for mallards.

He said bring 3" #4 Remington hevi-shot for everything. He said you'll spend less using hevi-shot because you don't have to keep shooting to finish off cripples.

Now, I'm used to shooting Winchester Expert #3 shot in my little sloughs around home, so this will be like coming out of the stone age for me.

I was reading an article by Layne Simpson last month and he described a duck hunt he took in Uraguay. He used a 20 ga. with #4 Hevi-Shot and said he'd take this rig over any 12 guage using steel.
