Upland and Bird Hunting: Pheasant, Quail, Chukar, Dove & Turkey
Bird hunting on Hunt Bums covers wild birds and preserve hunts, from dove fields to turkey woods. Picking a gun? Choosing the best upland shotgun walks through 25 options and the 12 vs 20 gauge question, and the Browning Citori 825 review shows what a good over/under does on pheasant.

Before dove opener, the dove hunting gear guide covers what to wear and carry in the heat. Also see our waterfowl, firearms, and gear coverage.
