1) Yes
2) 9s or the smallest legal you can hunt with
3) Absolutely

Thanks david . so in ga 9s are legal . smaller equals more shot? is that why you say the smallest ?
Looking at chokes . Carlson makes restrictions down to .640 thats getting pretty dang tight. over kill for me or stick with what I got?

9s pattern great.  Have great patterns at closer distances and carry more than enough punch to kill at ethical ranges.  Bigger TSS is waste of space.

What TSS are you looking at?  Federal? Apex? Browning? Burgess Creek? Fox Trot?  Federal seems like it likes tighter chokes but not sure I would go to .640.  Personally I would start at the .665 with any.

I would get the 3" 1.75 oz 9s and try what I have. Shoot big paper though.
