so what would you do hunting pheasants in a crop or crp field Depends what I was using. pump could go either way, Double, by fat my first choice would most likely be hot. However, I there is a slim to no chance I will ever pheasant hunt or bird hunt of any kind. I no longer even own a suitable shotgun and have no plans to get one. The point is if I'm in the woods of field, aside from toting stuff to a duck blind I'm hunting. I could see a cold chamber on a sheep or mountain goat hunt but I've jumped too.many deer while walking in thick stuff, and in close 15 years of hunting I've never seen an negligent discharge from a guy carrying a deer rifle hot

A couple of years ago not to far from where I sit and write this a woman had a ND and killed her son.
Hunting different kinds of train call for different choices. I will carry my 1911 hot for concealed carry, my new model Blackhawk with six while in the woods, and my rifle cold when deer and elk hunting while walking around in rough terrain. I may miss a shot nut and empty chamber will not kill anyone.
Also put into consideration you my friend are younger and do not suffer the same physical problems I do.

With a cold chamber, there is 0% chance of killing someone with an ND. I like those odds.

I think what we are hopefully getting at here is; we are all grown men, living, hunting, working etc in different circumstances, different experiences, & different comfort levels and we should all use our own judgement as to when & where to carry a firearm hot. Absolutes just don't fit every situation. There's no need to be so judgemental about a personal preference. It's great to point out the pros and cons, but, ultimately, it's a personal decision. We should just respect that.

Where I live I can kill grouse with a stick or a shot shell from my 45 Colt. I am not trying to convince you nor am I saying you are wrong. These are just my opinions and they work for me.

A friend of mine in college was a fellow gun loony. Odd thing about this guy was that he carried double action revolvers sans one round under the hammer. I always thought that bizarre. When I asked him why, he said it was for safety. This was back in the early 1980s. Made no sense to me then or now. Roll the clock back many decades and it wasn't uncommon to find people with that mindset. People who weren't gun people mistaking a necessary procedure for a SA revolver and applying it to a DA revolver.

East meets West or some such thing. I'm sure there is an interesting story behind the origin of this divide. Where I'm from, NWPA, everyone hunts hot.

Nope, ever single grouse I've killed I had to chamber a round prior to.

And that makes sense. 1 million guys on 57 acres of state land with a 9 day season.... I ain't saying don't chamber one, but I ain't got much desire to more around too much with one in the chamber.
