[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 587029, member: 3999"] The only birds I have ever hunted is dove. I've just never had the opportunity to hunt pheasant and I don't like laying in the cold mud and water to hunt ducks. So for dove I use 7 1/2's in a 12 ga with modified choke. First shell in the magazine is a high brass round with the next two being game load. For the same reason as you, that last shot is going to be out there and I feel like the extra power is needed (not that I'm that good of a shot). White wing fly at 60MPH or better without a tail wind. If you have to shoot a third time the bird is going to be in the next county. Just my two cents worth. [/QUOTE]
