Ducks
Any recommendations for proper 12 gauge ammo for duck hunting in the northeast?

I use #4 3/12 and 3 inch when hunting mallards over decoys. When I am going for geese and ducks, I use BB. I like the dense pattern of the #4 but have to keep the shots close.

I use #4 3 inch magnums typically. If I'm just jump shooting ducks in my kayak 2 3/4 inch # 3's will suffice.
