For your first and only gun a 12 gauge is a good choice because you can hunt anything with wings with it and adjust your load accordingly. You have the size for bigger birds like Ducks and Geese and even turkeys, but you can load down for small animals like dove and quail. I recommend a 28" barrel ...

Frankly, if this is your only shotgun I would get a 12. A twelve is much more versatile - better suited for clays, waterfowl, home defense etc. For strictly upland, a 20 is probably fine.

How did you know what size chaps to get? I wear size 36 waist and 36 length. Waist size doesn't really matter - there is regular and long. With a 36" inseam you will want the long. They do make a husky size as well, which will be roomier in the thighs, but at 36x36 that probably doesn't apply to you.
