Steve, it's the Golden Rule when it comes to quail hunting in SW Ga. "he who has the gold, rules". And no pumps or autos. Gil

Show up now with a 12 gauge at a SW Ga. quail property and see how far you get pulling out a 12 gauge of any description before you are told "no". Why? I see SKB is wondering too. ____________________________ Honey, honey https://youtu.be/h9nE2spOw_o

I am starting to get the feeling a "proper gentleman" only shoots small bore doubles. I never really was very proper.

Theory is the 12 sends a wider pattern fringing but not immediately downing quail which fly and ultimately die from the wound. Repeaters are banned to protect covey size. According to Tall Timbers quail research which recommended to a friend building wild quail on his property, coveys shouldn't be hunted more than 4 times a season to insure its survival.

At several North Florida and SW Georgia plantations, hunters and dog handlers are furnished traditional white vests or jackets while hunting for visibility. They are heavy into tradition just as across the pond tweeds and ties and no camo on estate shoots. Gil

Interesting historical information regarding the British 2" shell here. The "advantage" appears to have been for the unfortunates who did not have someone to carry their cartridges for them on long day's hunt  https://books.google.com/books?id=inQCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA279#v=onepage&q&f=falseThere appears to have been difficulty using Black Powder or Bulk Smokeless, and with combustion using Ballistite Dense, so there was a trial of 1 1/8 oz. 3 Dr. Eq. 2 1/2" shells in 2" chambers with long forcing cones, with little increase in pressure.
