    New Elk Hunter Advice GMU 6

    This is a great thread. How'd it go this year OP? I just got back. Couldn't handle the temps this year in NP and packed it up after just 3 days. Too cold for me. Heard maybe 2 shots in three days, and didn't lay eyes on anything.

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    Damn! Good testimonial from you guys. Hopefully I can find some in #5 before the season kicks off! Lead or Steel Prairie storm? seems they have both?

    I hear that. I did look for something with a larger load but that's all they had. Just glad I have a box "in stock" now. I'm looking really hard at this Boss stuff now. Bismuth , though lead free is not required at the WIA spots I go to, seems to be some good stuff. Too many options nowadays!

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    Stopped by Cabelas to see what they had in stock. No FastLead in 5 shot, they had it in 4 shot though. I ended up with the 1500fps 5 shot for just a few bucks more than the FastLead. If I see FastLead in 5 or 6 shot at some point, I'll grab that to try too. The 1500fps Federal stuff was...

    Pheasant ammo doesn't exist

    Old thread, I know but I'm curious about this as I'm new to hunting and have only hunted pheasant a handful of times. Why a lighter shot in early season? Is it because they aren't fully feathered up?

    Thanks for the reply. While I'd love a dog, nearest land to hunt pheasants is hours away so I can't justify the cost, or responsibility of owning a hunting dog and the training that comes with it.

    Right on, thank you. What kind of shell are you using? lead, steel, bismuth? Wish I had a dog. I just walk like an idiot all day and hope to flush one or two!

    Hey guys, Just wondering what you guys like to shoot at pheasant with? I've gone the steel route, the lead route, been thinking of trying that Kent Bismuth stuff, but it's pretty spendy. Just looking for ideas of what the general consensus is for Pheasant up in CO? 4 shot, 5 shot, 6 shot...
