Might as well throw my 2 cents worth in:

Ducks & geese - my old reliable Win Mod 12 3" goose gun with full choke opened to modified for steel shot.

Ferel/barn pigeons - AyA Mod 56, 12 ga, or Chas Lancaster 1896 Mod A Pigeon gun, 12 ga. (We have nearly an unlimited quantity of these here in SE Texas. Considered absolutely non-protected by Texas Parks & Wildlife and easily and legally baited. Far better tasting than dove; about like quail, but a little tougher. Cook in pressure cooker in stew base after browning.)

Texas quail - a new little Yildiz 20 ga O/U from Academy Store here in Houston in which I have fallen in love with. (We bought these in 20 ga. for our 4-H shooting sports club for less than $400.00 each. They have held up well for little over a year with several thousand rounds in each in sporting clays and dove hunting. The kids, mostly 11 to 14 yers old, love them. They are warranted by Brileys).

Late season pheasants - my LC Smith 1901 Mod 3E, 12 ga.

Dove - the Yildiz on first day, then the AyA Mod 37 Super A, 12 ga on following days. Jim Haynes
