I was born and raised in the heart of South Dakota pheasant country. Started hunting in the 50's and continued to live & hunt there for 30 years. When I was 12, Dad bought me an 20 ga. 870 w/ modified choke and gave me a 500 round case of 1oz #5 shot each fall. When the case was gone I would usually buy 1oz #4 shot for the late season birds. I now carry a Parker VH 16 ga, 1oz #5 is still the best. Choke IC/IM. 1oz #5 kills clean but doesn't grind the birds into hamburger. 1oz #4 is good for late season birds. Sure would like to go back to the days of open land and a limit of birds after school!
