Harold. I have hunted wild pheasants for decades. Late season I prefer #4 but they will drop with 5 6 or even 71/2. I like M/F combo as generally the shots are longer. Gauge is good at 12 16 or 20 as long as bird and shot pattern occupy the same space at the same time. The pic is my first pheasant from 1965. I built a habitat display on my garage art wall. Only thing left to add are some cattails. The combination of vegetation would never be found all together but it is present throughout my favourite haunts. Enjoy your hunt. Cheers Jack
