I think your are mostly right , I think it would really depend though .
We would pretty much meet any request of our guests . We even hunted quail during a storm once because they wanted to stay out in the field a bit longer lol.
One of the plantations someone mentioned in another thread , their website said they would allow any gauge . I doubt they imagined someone showing up with a 40" 12 ga or a 8 gauge for quail . I wonder if anyone here has used the short 10 ga for quail ? The standard load most of our guests used was the cheap rios in 20 ga and #7.5 shot I think it was . However one time we had some boxes of #9s get mixed into the case and they resulted in a higher kill ratio . So they were arguing with each other who was going to get to use the rest of the #9 loads .
The quail hunting landscape here has greatly changed since last year because of the hurricane we lost a great deal of pine trees . So now the quail hunting areas are alot more wide and open .
Has anyone had a set of W.&C. Scott damascus barrels refinished ?
I would think they would come out looking pretty nice like the American barrels .
