Recommendations for late season Kansas pheasant

[BS]

Harold,
I went out there the first week of December and brought a parker 20 IC/Mod and a Fox IC/Mod and found that I shot the Fox with one oz. of sixes for Pheasant and one oz. of eights for the quail. Sometimes I would load one of each until we were sure what the dogs were pointing/flushing. We Hunted pointers and flushers. All of my shots were really short or not worth shooting at because the roosters were getting up sixty to one hundred yards away or holding for us to flush. I love the sixteen gauge..... Shoots like a twelve carries like a twenty. That Fox pin gun sounds like a nice choke combination to me. You may want to bring non toxic shot or steel shot and another gun for shooting it for the restricted areas if you will be hunting those.
Have fun, Brett

Harold these are pheasants not armor plated winged tanks. There is no need for 1 1/8 oz of shot. Any of the 16's with a 7/8 oz load of either 6's or 7 1/2 will work just fine. I'd take that straight grip DHE 16 if it were me.

Well, that certainly is a sweet gun to carry at eaxactly 6 lbs, but it is choked cyl/m--great for the quail, but Mike says the pheasants were flushing pretty far in front of the dogs a few weeks ago.
