Mostly Tail Feathers
New member
Hello All,
Like you, I love to hunt pheasants. However, I have not had the opportunity to go for awhile. This season I scored a great invite by a friend who hunts a bunch of private ground near Garden City, KS. He stays on the farm in a bunk house and never goes to town until he heads home. Sounds like a sweet deal!
I will be breaking in a new Browning 525 Special Field. The 20-guage has 28-inch barrels, a three-inch chamaber and is my dream gun. It took years to be able to buy it but now it calls my place home.
My question is, what do you guys prefer in the way of shell length, shot size and chokes? For example, do you like three-inch loads with #6 shot fired through modified over improved chokes? How about some other favorite combination? Does it really matter to you? Any thought you have would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks!
