Im not a pheasant hunter per se, more grouse and quail, but I went pheasant hunting a couple years ago in northern Oklahoma. We hunted drainage ditches, black mucky soil with cat tails. Rough is putting it mildly. A light gun is what I wanted and needed. 1 1/4 oz shells are going to kick out of a 6 lb gun, but pheasant limit is 2 or 3 birds. Whats a guy going to shoot, 6-8 shells in a hunt?? A little recoil probably wont be that big of a deal with only a few shots. Get what you want for your game Brent.
