Don't have any pheasants around here, but do get to shoot at doves and ducks from time to time. I will likely use a Winchester 1400 with an improved cylinder choke tube for the dove and change to a cylinder bore choke for the ducks. I hunt ducks in a flooded swamp and the shots are very close and fast. Squirrels, if I'm not shooting a 22LR, will likely be a Fox Sterlingworth 12 ga with tight and tighter chokes. Quail are starting to show back up and if I get the chance to hunt them, it will be with my Darne 12 ga. It has a cylinder barrel and a modified barrel.
