It would be hard for me to bring myself to use a 12 ga. in the early seasons. Sometimes I will on the tough old late season migratory birds, when the cold north winds blow, but in the early seasons I prefer to be more sporting and use the little guns. It is just so much easier for me to limit with a 12 ga., that I prefer to test myself on the early birds with .410s.
