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. Shells matter as much as the gun, so read the 2026 pheasant load guide and the 2026 dove load guide before you stock up. New to turkeys? Start with turkey hunting for beginners. 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.
