Jud, I have a little 28 ga. in an 870... I just love it shot a bunch of forest grouse with it, some sage grouse, a very few quail.. My dogs are flushing dogs and often put up birds at a distance that an 1 1/4 of shot kills a bit better.. If they were pointers, I would use it more on roosters.. Haven't shot it much lately as our forest grouse have not been plentiful .. If you have good dove shooting I think it would be awesome...
