Dustin, once was enough for me. Sorry to hear of your very unfortunate luck.

Can beat your stupidity! Finished hunting, and as usual laid gun on top of dog box, and then loaded the pups. A friend drove by at that moment, and we talked for awhile. Got into my truck and drove off. Don't ask me why but happened to look into side view mirror and there was my Browning Liege...

Danner-Pronghorn

Central N.Y.-----Grouse, about 13yrs. old.

LC Smith: light 12's can be found with a little looking. Walk into any store that sells ammo and you'll find 12 ga., not so with 16ga. Very few new 16's being made. JMHO, overall the 12 cannot be beat.

There is no better gauge then 12 for wild pheasants, PERIOD. However, that does not mean other gauges cannot be used, but the higher the gauge the better you must shoot. Be honest with your capabilities.

Anything from a dusting to 4-5 inches not much changed. However, if they're predicting a real storm, I didn't go out. I would stop hunting at least two hrs. before it was due to start. I did not like to blow the birds out of good cover, they weren't always able to get back to the good cover. I...

You didn'y say what your budget was, so here we go. My first choice would be a vintage Merkel, either SXS or O/U, i'm partial to O/U's. Shot Merkel O/U for close to 50yrs. If they are not your cup of tea, I'd buy a Browning superposed, there's a ton available. Either of these guns will last...

Great memories!!!

Hunted for 30+yrs. with IC/IM. Like above I'd never hunt Phez with a full choke. Even with IC had a few oops over the yrs. To each his own, have a great season.

^^^ Hard to do when flying straight away!

In the 30+ years that I hunted Iowa behind DD's it was copper 6"s (all season), with IC & IM. Never had any doubts.

Always hunted with two GWP's. Produced more points, but was harder to keep track of whereabouts. God help any vermin either ran into, extreme prey drive.

Shot i/c-i/m all season long

Hunted with a Browning Liege for over 30 yrs. Was an extreme pheasant killer.
