Here in Michigan there are still leaves and thick foliage well into October. I like small bores for my upland hunting and prefer 7's or 71/2 shot until the leaves drop then 8's in the right barrel. I believe the heavier shot combined with the smaller amount found in a 20 or 28 will penetrate both the cover and the bird better.
