What combo of gun, choke & ammo do you like the best for ducks & geese????
I use a Benelli SBE2 with a Kicks High Flyer "mod" choke for ducks & geese and any range. I don't shoot anything past 40 yards.
I prefer Federal Premium ultra-shok steel 3.5" 1 3/8 oz BB's for geese, and the same load in #2's for ducks. If I can't get these shells I will use kent fasteel in the same loads.

In 12 Guage
Kent's Faststeel 3" 1 1/8oz #4's at 1550FPS through a patternmaster Short Range choke in the auto OR Factory improved cylinder in the top and skeet in the bottom of the O/U
I am going to try hunting with a 20 gauge a little this year. I am not set on a load yet but have done some patterning with the Kent's 3" 7/8 oz load with 3's in it. I need to try it with fours though. The 3's looked best at 30 yards through Mod choke on paper. Improved was pretty empty at 30, but looked fantastic at 20 yards.
I only hunt puddle ducks and an occasional Swan over decoys at very close ranges.

All depends what mood I am in and where I am standing that morning.
Got a O/U Stoeger with factory chokes on both barrels for timber and small ponds.
I like my 870 Supermag for the big water ducks.
I like my Browning 10 gauge for the goose hunts.
I also have a 835 that will do it all.
As far as shells I use what ever is cheapest because with a Buck Gardner call around my neck I am assured the shots are gonna be close and in my face so even the cheapo steel will get'em at a few feet
When I got my new Buck Gardner Spit Fire call last winter I felt bad some days at the unfair advantage I now had over the ducks. I thought since they were just eating it up and dropping in so close to the sweet sweet sounds of the call that I'd just as well use a willow switch limb and hit them on the head and save steel. I opted to just shoot'em anyways though.
