L. Brown,
If you buy one of the narrow "Quick Adjusting" slings, you can simply pull it tight, and it will not be in the way hunting Grouse and Woodcock (or as in my case Bob Whites).

That sounds like a good idea if you're likely to be switching back and forth between grouse and woodcock vs pheasants and quail. In my case, when I was carrying that vintage Sauer, I was doing most of my bird hunting in Iowa. (At one time, the NE corner of the state had a pretty fair grouse population.) So for me, it was no sling early in the fall when we were hunting the woods birds. Sling attached when pheasant season opened. On rare occasions, we'd do a late season grouse hunt, with about 3 weeks worth of the season left after pheasant season closed. But we were even more likely to head to the southern part of the state to hunt quail later on in January. So the sling stayed on until our bird hunting season ended.
The best part of a sling for pheasants is being able to sling arms when you're half a mile or more from the truck and you're toting 3 roosters in your vest.
