Shells for upland hunting

I am taking my father on a Pheasant, Chucker and quail hunt at Prairies End in Sherman, I have never done one of these hunts and was wondering if anyone had advice on what size shot or shell to use to cover all three

Just my $0.02 #6 should do fine either 12 or 20 depending on how well you shoot. By your O.P. I'm guessing released birds.

#7.5 will knock down pheasant and kill some, but the overall performance is noticeably inferior to #5 shot. For a combo hunt, I'd follow the previous advice and go with #6.

yes its released birds, not my favorite but its something my 75 yr old dad wants to do and will be good for my boys. Thanks for the advice I will go with 6's

If over pointy dogs 1oz 7 1/2's, all you need.

I have killed more pheasants with 7.5 than any other round. Anything bigger will tear those quail up.

I have hunted at prairies end a few times last spring.. first time I brough my normal prairie storm #5s I use on wild birds, big mistake. Your shots will be close and 7.5 shot will do just fine.

Open up that choke too. Pen raised pointed birds a skeet choke is pretty good.

I've used Cyl/IC in an out with good results.

7.5s will work fine.

My .02 yes 7 1/2 can and will kill Pheasants but they are tough birds. Pointed or not pin raised or wild
#5 golden pheasant by Fiocchi to get the job done right. You are paying a lot per bird so bring them down
With the first shot

Is this the one SW of Gainesville or is there another one in Sherman? Just wondering.

There is a big difference between pen raised and wild. #5 golden pheasant is over kill. A bb hits a pen raised and they drop. Pen raised don't know to run and bury themselves in the grass so they're usually easy to find.

For put and take, probably el cheapo 7.5.
