This early in the year you should be good with 2's. Geese and cranes should still be dumb and trying to light at your boot bag. Who are you hunting with?
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

on Saturday I had solo lonely goose come in while duck hunting and hit it with 3" #2's twice it flinched both times but kept flying so I will be bringing a box of BB with me this weekend!

3" #2 1300 fps no problem at all if the bird kept flying that's on you not the shot.
If it bleeds I can KILL IT

2 3/4, lead high brass 6's... for cranes only... geese should be in your face so you should be fine with 3" hevi metal 4's

2 3/4" Tungsten 5's or 6's will kill anything that flies within 60 yds. and expect thru and thru holes like you've never seen.
