I used to carry 7 rounds in various pockets but used 5 rounds on 2 different elk to keep them from crossing a property line so now I load one in each pant or shirt pocket and wrap 5 or 6 in toilet paper so they won't make noise and carry that in the right front pants pocket in addition to what might me in the truck or pack. That does serve 2 purposes but I might jingle more on the way out of the woods than on the way in.
