Re: 20 gauge load for youths?

It depends on weither your hunting over a pointer, flusher or walking them up,

but proably a 3" load of #4's or 5's would be best try to find 1ounce loads and adjust your choke for the expected range. Ie use a tighter choke for the flusher or walk up scenario.

Good luck!
