You have the wrong guy, Edgar. I am almost exclusively a prairie game hunter, and prefer a well choked #1 frame, 28" 16ga for pheasant and prairie grouse. A #2 frame 12 gets a bit much for me to carry all day.
After over a foot of snow on the ground and still coming, I hope the pheasant make it. The grouse, buffalo and antelope always survive as long as we preserve the habitat and the wild places. I have had the privilege to hunt birds where you see buffalo and antelope, no fence posts or telephone poles, few roads and no other hunters. Its like stepping back over 100 years.
