Poll....who is hunting with small gauge for up-land birds?

Lots of quail plantations require either a 20 or 28 double gun these days. I saw them shut down a guy with a 12 last year.

They ought to allow 16s in my opinion and why they don't I do not know.

Thanks, Mills. You have just given me my excuse.

Should I ever be so lucky as to present myself for Southern plantation Quail, I don’t want to be shut out by solely owning side-by-sides in the disallowed 12 and 16 gauges.

And what gun fancier really wants to be on a hunt while shooting a borrowed weapon.

Always happy to be of service. I will say I want to get a Parker 12 gauge half frame and take it quail hunting. RST 7/8 or 3/4 12 gauge should be just the thing. The type of load used is probably as important as gauge
