Ed,
Phil, Kenny, and Garry have provided great information and tactics on hunting wild pheasants. I hunt pheasants over a Gordon setter and use a 2" 12 gauge with #6 shot in a 15/16 oz load. Later in the season I'll use a 2 1/2" gun with #6 and #5 shot in a 1 oz load. Most of the shots are under 30 yards so you don't need pocket rockets to bring the birds to the bag. However, if you taking longer shots you may need a pocket rocket.
Kenny,
I thought my Gordon was spoiled, but now I know she has more training to do on me!
