I didn't take the time to read all 18 pages of comments on this, and I find it a little humorous that this even comes up. To answer this question, HECK YES I HUNT WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER! It's been my experience that deer don't tend to stand still and count to 10 Mississippi while I'm loading my gun. I've never seen a ringneck hover patiently waiting on me to dig a load of 6 shot out of my pocket and chamber it in the gun. No offense inteded, but to me this seems like a pretty lame question.

Lame as the guy shot in the leg I met last month?

Hey gopher, its an interesting read...If you have the time.
Why pack all that messy meat out of the bush when we can just go to the grocery store where meat is made? Hell,if they sold antlers I would save so much money I could afford to go Dolphin fishing. Maybe even a baby seal safari.

A round in the chamber is bad, but ammo in the magazine??
I leave my ammunition at camp. When I see an animal I want to shoot I leave my rifle there, run back to camp, get the ammunition, run back to my rifle, load and shoot the animal. Most big game will stand in one spot for up to six hours, until I get back.
I immediately unload the rifle, leave it there, run the ammo back to camp, then run back to take care of the animal. Only an irresponsible dunderhead would have ammunition in the magazine while hunting. TooFFunny !!! Thank You, Henry

Maybe we should just outlaw all guns and ammo so we will all be safe. Who's with me????????
Come on Guys and Gals, let it drop. Some of you were born and raised to have one in the pipe, others were not, and still others have made the decision on their own due to something they have seen or heard about to not carry HOT. I respect each and every one of your opinions, but please don't try to force feed me on your thoughts when I am hunting in my sandbox. If I come to your sandbox, I will follow your rules within reason (I will not hunt naked or wear pink in any fashion, I don't care what your rules are).
Again, let it go. The anti's don't need any extra ammo and we are going to need to be a unified force if Hiliary is voted in.

I'm a curious guy by nature, so when I walk through the woods I'm always checking my safety to see if it still works...as soon as they quit, I get them fixed.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Kodiak-you're right, I should read the whole thread, but it's not going to change my view on this. As for the guy who got shot in the leg-how'd it happen-what's the details. Every gun I own has a working safety on it. Unless I'm squeezing the trigger, that safety is on at all times, whether the gun is loaded or not. I don't make a habit of pointing the muzzle end of my guns at myself or any other human being. If you guys feel the need to hunt with an empty chamber, more power to ya', but I would have to think the vast majority of hunters keep one in the chamber on the off chance that they just might find a critter to shoot at. I am going back to read the whole thread now.

Not suggesting it will (or in fact should)change your mind, only that its an interesting read.

Loaded round in the chamber here while in the field. I'm surprised at how many stories I've heard over the years about people discharging their rifles inside their vehicles. A good friend's wife shot a hole through his pickup a year ago unloading her rifle!?
