I chase pheasants at home here a lot too and there is no better way to get into 'walking with a gun' shape. The thing with upland hunting is your gun is always in your hands. An 8 pound shotgun at port arms all day will make a 12 pound gun packed or slung a pretty easy tote.
Yup. I only carry my auto loader if I'm in griz country or late season hunting when the birds get 'spooky'. Now I need to stop posting on internet forums and get back to hiking- late September comes quick, and I still need to work off the holidays
