Anybody apply for a drone permit?

Says here there will be a "drone season." It's in the news so it must be true.

Forget rabbit, duck season ? it's drone season for hunters in Colorado town - NY Daily News

I see those are #6 shot, do you know it they are available in #4 shot?

I live on the water so I have to use steel shot. Steel just doesn't have the same drone knock-down power as lead...gotta use larger shot.

Yeah, steel isn't as good for knock down, go with at least #2 steel or larger.

you can do well all day with #3's...no need to go all #2's or larger on anybody...3's even worked on Canada's...

Depends on the gauge of the gun, for my 20 I prefer #2, though they still aren't as good as lead.

well, according to balistic reports....#3's out hit targets with more pellets than #2s of any guage.

I prefer to knock them out of the sky with my peregrine falcon.

Of course the #3 hits with more pellets, they are smaller than #2 and thus more in the pattern. What an obvious conclusion. But just because you hit with more pellets doesn't mean you get a better knock down, especially at longer ranges where the smaller shot loses effectiveness.
