[QUOTE="PatriotHenry, post: 2991531, member: 114356"] Suggestion: If you are going to hunt them a lot, consider going to a 20ga. I switched over 25 years ago to a super light Benneli Montefeltro, usually modified choke and 1.0 or 1 1/8 #6 shot. The super light gun gets you on target faster and is a ton easier to pack up the steep hills. Even when the got spooky the "20 was plenty" for me. I did have 2 amazing GWP's that I hunted over. With the 12 ga, even with light loads I was ruining birds too often. Like others have said they are devil birds for sure, but you get hooked. The areas I used to hunt were steep rocky faces with a mostly flat plateau on top. I found it much easier to hike to the plateau and hunt in a 2-3 mile circle about 30-40 yards from the rim. On good years I would encounter 2-3 coveys on the top, flush and fly over the edge and by the time you completed your circle they were back on top. Much easier than side-hilling and up and down!
