Stock market, dancing, chess, drill, and grenades are all about timing. Do you have to make this decision right now?
Doing nothing right now, leaves you the option of future action. If you decide to open the choke(s), that exercise does not have to be drastic - it can be incremental.
I second the offered recommendation about the use of spreader loads for closer work. The oldie 12 GA FULL & extra Full choke guns I patterned with a standard spreader reload WOULD HAVE BEEN UNUSEABLE past 20 yards as the pattern was too open and thin for ruffed grouse.
However, my oldie SxS guns with old-fashioned Full and fuller chokes are useless to me under any circumstances using my reloads with the modern one piece wads. I have opened all the chokes to some degree.
Just my $0.02 - your mileage might vary.
