I have been a long time reader of this board and have found a tremendous amount of information on all things 16. Thank you for such a great site. |

Patrick,
My 16 gauges, a Model 12 deluxe field that started it all for me, Model 31, Model 11, Model 870 and an Auto 5 that I just picked up on Friday and haven't shot yet. I find the first words out of my mouth when I go into a gun store is "do you have any 16's"? |

Pretty much the same here, guns AND ammo. |

Oh heck yeah! I put back several flats of the Herters 1oz 6's and have been using the Model 12 the past two dove seasons with great success. I plan on using either the M31 or 870 this fall for turkeys.
I have two Lab's but waterfowl hunting is never really been much of an option around these parts.
Quail are starting to make a small comeback and will be giving them a try this fall also. |

Welcome, Keith. Any effort to improve quail numbers there, or are they just coming back without any help? |
