The best pheasant gun for the prairies out west is one you can carry all day and you can shoot it well. For me it's a gun that weighs less than 6 1/4lbs. and has plenty of choke in the second barrel.
This was my 15th year to SD and I take 5 or 6 guns with me. I'll carry a 28, a 20 or a 16 and use 7 1/2's. (Parkers or Foxes) A different one each day. I know some people will take me to task for 7 1/2's but I use what works for me. I could'nt imagine carrying a 10 ga. all day long but if you can shoot it well then that's the gun for you.
Above all is a good, close working dog.
