My current thinking is that 3/4 ounces of #9 shot out of a modified or full choke might be the optimum combination when trying to limit "collateral" Bobwhite damage.


Our thinking certainly changes over the years. When wild bobwhites were all we hunted around here in South GA, I was thrilled with any "collateral damage" I was lucky enough to get on a covey rise...Geo


As was I - when my Dad was paying for the lease. But now that it is on me and I am hunting the same coveys four or five times a season my priorites have changed.

Best,

I am glad to be here.
