RE: Pheasants???
I grew up next to the best pheasant hunting in my area, I would not use a 410. thats more for rabbits it takes a good shot to take doun a rooster, I would got with a 20 gauge or 12. I use a 12 g mossburg and you have to be fast to get a good shot. You will find them not to far from corn fields you will see them flying in and out of fields in the morning and at night. I always see them about 1/2 hr before dark. Look for grass fields or swalles in the middle of fields. Trust me when you get to the end of the swalles thats when they will fly up when out lease expect them to. Good luck there fun to hunt and test your quickness.
