I'm new to the PNW and live on property that is infested with quail. I've been considering harvesting a few. Figured I might as well save them from all the predators around. I have a 20g full choke single shot, and a 12g with full, modified, and improved chokes (I think, been a long time since I dug them out and looked). Assuming I use 8 shot, how much risk do I run of damaging the breast if I shoot one under ten yards? Is it legal to shoot them on the ground or do they have to be flying? Do you shoot them with a full bead or just try to clip them with the edge of the pattern? Thanks in advance.
