[QUOTE="1100 Remington Man, post: 1120456, member: 29824"] I am from Iowa and have hunted them for 40+ years. I have used 12ga,20,ga & 28ga. For hunting Wild Pheasants without a dog 12ga 2 3/4 inch 3 3/4dr 1 1/4 oz of 5 shot will do for 95% of all hunting conditions. While I like using my 28ga with Winchester 1oz load of 6 shot, I will not hunt Pheasant with out a good dog with it. Just FYI 3/4oz in a 28ga sucks compared to 1oz load. If hunting with a 20ga with a good dog 2 3/4 inch 1oz of 6 shot is good and better if you can shoot 3 inch buy 1 1/4oz of 5 shot is better. To sum it up Minimun 1oz of shot and 1 1/4oz is better and nothing smaller than 6 shot for wild birds period. Going from 1oz of shot to 1 1/4oz extends your effective range 5 yards.
