Works great pheasant hunting especially if you get to some birds that haven't been shot at a bunch. I have matching Benelli shotguns in 12 and 20. I will take the 20 everytime until I start having birds flush out farther than it will reach.

I use mine for Dove and Quail and the occasional rabbit if I see one.

I use mine for small game and small birds particularly, in tight cover - after all, that's what a sub gauge is for !

It's my Quail & Rabbit choice.........Always used .22cal for squirrels

"tight cover"- you mean like if you're in a ground blind, or you can't move much?

Thick brush/woods.

Quick shots from a gun that's lighter, shorter and swings easy.



Here is what I use;

My shotgun is a 20 ga, and I use it pretty effectively for small game. For small game shotshells walmart is my go to store. they usually have a 100 round sporting clay value pack for around $22. perfect for dove. for squrrel and rabbit I use 6 shot

beagle- i think that's what i bought a few years back. they were federal, i believe. thanks to all u guys who gave advice, i'll try the 6 shot on the tree rats and bugs bunnies.

For the last 20 years I've used a 20ga for all of my upland bird hunting. I'll only take out the 12ga for Ducks and Turkey. The 20 is plenty for all types of upland birds. In fact the last two years I've taken nothing but a .410 bird hunting and have not skipped a beat putting birds down.

good for anything the 12 can do with less recoil
