Hunting birds with a 590a1 ?

[River runner]

I have a 590a1 with a 20" cylinder bore barrel. It holds 8+1, 2 3/4" 12g shells and is also 3" capable. I realize its not the ideal platform for waterfowl..... but lets say I was invited out and its all I had... what do I need to do to make it 3 shot compliant? (as per hunting regulations for my region) Insert a dowel?..... any tips on proper length and how to go about? maybe a link to previous thread.... I'm kinda challenged on searching out intel on this board.

Also..... yes I have completed the proper certifications to be able to obtain a hunting licence for my province.

Thanks in advance CGN community!

Not sure about the mossberg but on my m887 took off the end if my mag cap loaded in 2 shells then measured from the back of my follower to the end cap

What skoal said. Easy. Get some dowel from CT, maybe 3/8" diam.

For waterfowl, you'd best be shooting them over the decoys. Definitely test pattern your gun, to give yourself a visualization of what your pattern looks like at 20 yards, 30 and 40. Then you'll know what your limit is.

I don't hunt (anything) with my 590A1 but I'm sure waterfowel and like will not know the difference what kind of SG was used
I'm sure it will be effective if not a little heavy for the task but like the others have noted...know how it patterns and you should be good to go.

Go to a chinese restaurant and get a chopstick. Cut to size.
Give the restaurant a quarter, if you feel generous.

what waterfowl are you looking at hunting? just ducks?

Thanks for the info.
Yes .... just ducks for now. I've seen people hunting them while fishing and jet boating on the river and it looks fun!.
