I hunt with a Remington 1100 Magnum with a 30 in. full or a 28 in. modified barrel. It depends on the turain and what I am expecting for shooting distance. Mostly I am using the 28 in. modified.. AlsoI sometimes use my old Mossberg side by side both are in 12 gauge but I have to reload blackpowder shells for the old side by side..
Usually an Ithaca 37 20ga with 26" barrels and an IC choke. Handles like a dream, and light enough to carry all day. Some others get the call every now and then, but thats the go to gun.

For most upland shooting I use a 20 ga.Ithaca SKB M100 side by side with 25" barrels choked IC/MOD...
For pheasants andducks I shoot a 12 Ga. Browning Citori with 26" barrels...It's threaded for invector choke tubes, and I usually use IC/MOD or Skeet/MOD...
OR
My Browning Upland Special 12 ga. o/u w/24" barrels and improved/modifed chokes.
Wow.. thats a pretty dog Edcyclopedia.
Season is basically over here, and i turn 16 in a few weeks so i will probably wait til' next season to dove hunt since when i turn 16 i have to take classes before i can get a license. But in the off season i will most likely buy a 12 ga. Remington 870 Super Mag, get some rounds through it before the season starts.

My buddies dog, Sullivan, and a pretty good pointer until he checks out after a few hours. I never seen my buddy get so mad! This was only the 3rd time I've hunted over a dog. I mostly beat the bush with a few others!!!
Great to see you going through the motions and I am very excited for you, you'll love it!
