while out pheasant hunting last year we had one running infront of us down the corn rows. when it finally came out in the open field 3 of us shot it 8 times with 4-6 shot pheasant loads. the final killing shot came from a 20 gauge. the three of us that shot it were ready for it to run out because the guys walking the corn rows could see it crossing back and forth between the rows so they warned us. it was one tough cookie
