I have never ran across anything in the regs prohibiting bringing two shotguns in the field while waterfowl hunting.  If geese are in the area, I will still bring my 10 gauge loaded up with goose loads.  Sometimes I bring my 12 with goose loads and shoot the 20 gauge.  I have a secure spot where I can keep both next to me in the blind.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Reminds me of NY with their magazine ban where it could not hold more than 10 rounds or something like that. People just started carrying 4-5 guns in their vehicle (AKA .... a NY reload).
the term nu reload was around long before magazine bans.
nuke the gray whales for jesus!

Got in a discussion today with a friend who asked this question.

Is there anywhere in the regulations that says you cannot have two different shotguns loaded in the field while duck hunting?

One shotgun is over under the other is side by side.

So 2 shells each.

I looked couldn’t see a rule. Other than no more than three shells in a gun.

It would be faster to hold a pair of shells in your supporting hand between your fingers.  A few times jump shooting and you'll get really quick with the reload. Much faster than trying to handle two guns.
You'll never get a Big'un if you keep shooting Little'un's.
