Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rifle Hunting Safety Question

So, when you leave the truck chasing after a covey of blue quail that flushed from it getting close youre going to haul ass after them through sage roots and clumps of prairie grass humps and when they flush again 20-50 yds ahead youre going to drop a couple in yer double and sit there with your finger you know where?

When you walk up to the creek with banks covered in oak and sycamore and cottonwood timber and the woodies and mallards flush and are hauling ass down the creek and up through the timber youre going to try shucking a round in as youre jumping logs and dodging vines trying to get an opening lined up on them?

You gonna sneak down deer trail through the switch cane along a southern creek and when a bedded buck jumps from a fallen tree top or a cat squirrel hops up on the side of a pin oak to look at you, youre going to try to chamber a round for no real reason.

Youre going to sit by a water hole in the desert and when a passel of doves whips by youre going to try to chamber a round? Why?

I will pass on hunting that stuff with you. You would be more dangerous dealing with the game and trying to load and then move to get a shot than, if like most, you were hot.
