Daryl, good recommendations.

While most of my friends use 12 ga guns for geese & ducks and light 20 ga guns for upland birds, I started using my goose gun for upland birds using light 2 3/4" shells and found it worked very well.

I am used to non-lead shot for waterfowl but didn't know that there is say small shot for quail ir doves. Are those shells readily available in California?
