Thoughts on a 20 gauge for goose?

[Turkeyslayer 1300]

So which is more of a "challenge", shooting geese at 30 to 40 yards with a 3" 20 gauge, or shooting geese at 60 to 70 yards with a 3-1/2" 12 gauge, as many people claim to be doing?

Finishing birds or landing them is harder than taking them at distance.

Two different types of discipline are required, both take practice.

Shoot them in the face and it doesn't matter what gauge your using. are you good enough to shoot them in the face every time? Like others say i wouldn't buy a 20 for geese , but if i had a 20 then i'd not hesitate to blast them inside 35 yards. Headshots only

This one came in fast and furious out of the sun off my "nine"!!
I popped out of the blind and he hit the afterburners, but to no avail.
The geese were coming in about the same that day....

The 20 guage is a bit light for geese.

Nice to see all the comments, but i couldnt agree more with the fact that if u shoot the bird in the head.. its still a dead bird no matter how u look at it.... no matter what gauge.....
