that seems to be a bit much, however, I've hunted pheasants since I was a boy and never used a shotgun with and extended tube to hold 8 shells. They are really stretching it with this crap.
Have also hunted upland birds for many years. There are a lot more extended tubes for shotguns being used than most people realize. Any State that has a spring snow goose season will have a lot of extended tube shotguns around. Been going on for years.
I totally agree when it comes to snows, but in the article, he was saying the pheasant hunters I think. I think when hunting snows about anything is legal!!! I was supposed to head to Missouri for the next three days to do some of that crazy hunting, but, work is crazy right now.
