I can find a lot to agree with this post....Especially when it comes to autoloaders vs two barrel shotguns. For hunting with an auto-loader 26 or 28 would be fine...For clays I prefer the longer.
As far a Quail, I'm not about to come off as having any expertise on the varied habitat they may be found in.. However, I had the privilege to hunt down in Georgia on one the the premier private Wild Quail plantations. 15,000 acres of ground literally cultivated for Quail.. It was for the most part wide open shooting as long as a Pine didn't get in the way and there were not all that many..
That tried for years to keep the predators down by various means, which was greatly limiting their success....Finally they came on to the idea to thin out the trees and you cut down on the the places they lived and would sit to wait..Last I was there they figured they had 7-8 Quail per acre.
