LG what Chuck said.
In the Panhandle of Texas Quail season runs from late October thru late February and you can find me and my hunting buddies out every week chasing quail or pheasant. Last year there was a drought year here and we went to New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma in pursuit of flushing birds.
I hunt on foot behind pointing dogs. I carry a 5-3/4 pound English boxlock extractor 16 gauge. I don't own an ATV. The difference between carrying a 5-3/4 pound gun and a 6-3/4 pound gun is very signifigant - especailly after 3:00PM. I shoot heavy guns at clays and dove - because they recoil less and I shoot them better.
Best,
Mike
