No pheasant, dove, or quail around here. Ruffed, Sharptail, and Spruce grouse with some Huns in the fields. For the last several years the go to is a Fox AE 20 with 28" barrels. I recently picked up a Parker VHE 20 with 28" barrels and after I bend it for a little cast off it may get a big share of the rotation. When I'm feeling old school I may take a Purdey bar in wood hammer gun in 16 bore. If I'm feeling high tech I'll take an early Model 12 20 with 2 1/2" chambers and 25" barrel. Others get out at least once a year. If they don't I might have to concede to the wife that I really could get by with fewer guns.
