Default Quail 2026
Anybody getting ready for the upcoming season? I dug out the "go to gun". Nothing pretty or graded. Just the ol 24" Sterly 16. I do have a set of 28" barrels I fit to this for dove, if seasons overlap.

I'd like to try 24" barrels. I always liked 26" barrels. I hunt a lot but shoot clays only a little.
Always enjoy your posts Chris.
I often hunt with a Utica SW 20, 28" barrels

Never know what the season will bring but I’ve seen a lot of birds on my place this summer.

Can’t wait for our season to open. I just hope our quail developed webbed feet with all the rain we’ve had.

I keep looking for the right 24” gun…

I’m headed to grouse & woodcock camp in Vermont this morning for the weekend. I’m bringing two of my 24” guns - one is my 16 gauge Lifter and the other is my “Mrs. E. W. B.” Ithaca 20 gauge. It should be a fun time!

Dean good luck on the hunt. We’re actually in Vermont as well for parents weekend at UVM.
