I'm thinking about buying a 20ga as my next gun, specifically for grouse/pheasant hunting. I don't have a lot of money, so the purchase was specifically going to be a stoeger over/under. Is a 20ga enough power to take down a pheasant every time? I'd appreciate the smaller weight to carry around, especially through the brush when I'm grouse hunting, as the grouse woods are pretty thick here in northern minnesota.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
