I've never been hunting before, so I asked my brother to take me along in return for building him a new computer. The plan is pheasant hunting on a private farm.

I don't have a shotgun, but I've been looking at a mossberg 590 for quite some time. It's the 50668 with the 20" barrel, ghost ring sights, and a 9 shot capacity.

This will be my only shotgun for awhile, and will double on HD duty. Is this acceptable for pheasant? If not, can the choke be modified to be acceptable?
