When I go out of town for a hunt, I try to pick a gun that will do it all, and include one backup, only for the unlikely situaton where my main gun would break. I guess that's why I normally use one of my six to seven pound tens when I go on a serious grouse hunt. I want to be ready for anything. I would pick a twelve for a SD pheasant hunt because of the number of shells that may be expended. May have to go to the hardware store for replacements. Harold, I would recommend you take the six sixteen gauges and leave the others behind to simplify the ammunition situation.
