I hunt North FL quail with 12 gauge RST 2.5, #8 shot, 3/4 oz loads.

Pheasant.....just depends on the location and circumstances at the time. South Dakota, Idaho and Oregon all a little different. A lot of #6 and #5 for Pheasants though. If I know its more huns and chuchars though it is mostly #6. Again, the loads vary. I shoot lighter loads in SD because its typically closer shots there for me as opposed to the shots/hunting in Idaho and Oregon.
