What load and choke do you use for pheasant hunting? Comments anyone? Suggestions? Thanks!
There are a few things to consider when selecting a choke tube for pheasant hunting. The first is the brand and model of your shotgun, as not all tubes will be compatible with every gun out there. The next thing to think about is shot size. Most hunters use a mix of #6 and #4 lead birdshot, so you’ll want to select a choke tube that is designed to shoot those sizes well.
Finally, you’ll need to decide what type of hunting you plan on doing. If you’re mostly going to be shooting birds in open fields, then a wider choke like an Improved Cylinder or Modified may work best for you. But if you’re going to be hunting in a more dense cover, then a tighter choke like a Full or Extra-Full may be the better choice.
