The ‘managed’ quail country of the last 20 years is quite different from the overgrown clear cuts and briar thickets we used to run dogs in while foot hunting the hill country of AL/TN/KY. And you’re correct: managed pine/quail plantations of southern AL/GA are wide open, comparatively. My favorite semi I ever carried for ‘rough’ quail and rabbit thickets was a Superlight Auto 5 20ga with a 24” skeet barrel. I’ve still done it more with a Fox 20ga SxS and 26” tubes, cuz that’s all I had when I was starting out as a kid. Guns have purposes. Swinging often wasn’t too important when we had to spot shoot through a hole, when the birds or rabbits were in it. LOL
