Check out Randy Wakeman's article on his website about using 3" 20 ga. for pheasant. Pretty interesting.
being good shot or great shot a 20 ga is fine.yes, if you have pointing dog and pheasant holds close, 20 ga is fine.i use flusher,toby my lab and first day a 20 ga would work.after first day, no way ,your shots will be long and 12 ga is better.
with 12 ga shells cheaper and only 1 pd heavier i dont know why anyone would want a 20 ga.
come here with me on grouse hunt in pa. you carry a 20 ga and i will carry my 12 ga beretta uricka field.
after that,then write your comments.
