Charlie, the answer to your question is, it depends. If I'm walking, I use a Parker BHE 16 gauge, 26 inch barrels, open chokes. If I'm on horse back, 20 gauge Trojan with 26 inch barrels.
Quail have been in steep decline here in middle/south Georgia for some time. But the planting of long leaf pine and native warm season grasses seems to be paying off. Not to argue Bruce's point but I gave up on predator control as it costs too much (time and money) for the return. IMHO habitat is the key. But that means more than food plots. You've got to provide it all, and that ain't cheap either. I burn, harrow, plant, leave fallow, spray, chop, mow, thin and supplement. It's a full time job.
