I live right down the road from a state game area that has released birds.

They are very meaty. smile

Two suggestions come to mind after you pattern your shotgun.

One is consider the range that you are seeing the birds. that they could be further out than you think. The other thing would be you might be jumping too far ahead of the bird on the flush and barely catching them with the fringe.

Both are easy to do, especially if you don’t shoot a lot of them.

Shooting pheasants in the front half takes a bit of practice, and a little bit of slowing down.

You really can, insert the shotgun behind the flushing bird, and then stroke through the front of the animal and fire.
To great effect.

I had a chance to do a POI pattern for the Fox, I asked the forum about so I wanted to post it. I think it shows some castoff might benefit me, and that the patterns are high. I also did a pattern test for the load I was using, and it reflects what is shown here and that 1 ounce of 6s at 30 yards fills the 30" pattern. I used white sheeting, so until I can black marker the pellet holes, pictures won't show much. Thanks again for the helpful opinions and advice.

I think you have answered your question.

“Under their chin” will work for any pheasant you will ever point that shotgun at.
