How many shells per year hunting?

[Pudelpointer]

Ducks Unlimited a few years back done a survey on the same topic and they said that the average duck hunter shoots 10 shells for every duck bagged!

Holy crap! I have pretty good results with plain old steel bb's for geese, probably 1 for 4 shots fired, but I wait until they are under 40 yards.

Now ruffed grouse on the other hand.......


Cheers

I don't really have a prob with steel. I pattern my gun and I have shot geese and ducks over 50 yds with it.

+1, depends on the choke you are using, i dont mind full choke for the smaller shot upto about 2 shot but anything bigger i put in the modified choke
