Back when I still attempted to grouse hunt in the mountains of VA generally my shotguns were 24 or 26 inches however as you say I can’t remmember being in any situations 28 or even 30 inch barrels would’ve been an impediment. On the other hand however I’ve been in some situations doing drives for deer that short barreled guns were the rule of thumb and a lot of times a necessity ! Point in fact a bunch of times on Chincoteague NWR I’ve been in some spots and seen Sika deer where a 24” barrel would get hung in the wild rose or some other devil bush . Been in some spots in central VA in the last six or seven years on deer drives that were very very tight as well . Hence the reason I want one of the factory original EH 24” barreled gun
