My choice is BB shot. Yes, there realy is such a thing as BB shot. It is smaller than buck shot but bigger than 4s, 5s, etc. It is most often used for geese. It is what you often find loaded in magnum goose loads.

I guess Swan Crazy Dot doesn't understand the problem with overpopulations in our migrant goose population. Geese are fun to hunt, and if cooked up properly taste great! But enough about that, I prefer to use BB shot for geese in 3" or 3 1/2" 12 ga shells. Hit 'em hard!!

The best shell shot sizes are #2 and BB Steel Shot for Geese shot thru a modified choke. I tried the Hev-shot last season and was REALLY impressed but the shells are VERY expensive but performed better than any other shell I've ever used on Geese in the last 20+ years. The Hevi-shot "sky busted" Canadian Geese that were considered borderline distance away with ease.40-50 yard kills were the norm. These shells were so good that I took shots that I would have passed on in previous years gone by...Impressive to say the least...
NOTE* Hevi-Shot is made from 50% Tungsten, 35% Nickel and 15% Iron instead of steel. LESS WOUNDED BIRDS that won't recover, cleaner kills,longer effective shooting distances.......

Depends on where you shoot and what you shoot.
MOST areas require steel shot these days. (Since I only shoot geese flying over my place I ignore it.)
Personally, I use 12ga, 30" full choke, 2 3/4 shell with 4/6 combo turkey load. I shoot on my own property, and not over 40 yds for geese. (No problem since they fly low over my place!)

Canada Geese are next to my swans as being top of my list, not to shoot them like some dumbunny with no brains but as the dearest and funniest of my bird friends - go to the shop better still as I just said to a turkey hunting idiot go vegetarian having first shot yourself in the leg to see how cruel you really are being, then you will have a clean pair of hands if not a clear conscience for once in your pathetic life!

Leave the poor geese alone. Go to the supermarket and buy some steak instead.
