Clapper, they are stocked by the Game Commission on public land, and by the time I get around to hunting them, it is usually after the New Year. The birds remaining have been out there a while as the GC's last stocking is at Thanksgiving. I doubt that makes them any easier or harder to kill? I don't shoot many, probably around 10 each season. I am not an expert at killing pheasants. My other guns will handle much stouter loads but I wanted the use the Fox with the hand load I thought appropriate for it. As I said previously I accept your advice and will pattern the gun and load. My season is over so I have some time before next year. Thank you, again.
