If anyone is offended by hunting with a round in the chamber sure doesn't want to be around me after we leave the truck...
Aside from having a round chambered, when I'm calling coyotes, I flip the safety off as soon as I start calling and have my rifle on my shooting sticks. About everyone I ever hunted coyotes does that too...
You have a coyote running in hot and heavy and flip the safety off an AR, or some other rifles within 100 yards, and they will do a 180 so quick, you won't know what happened.
If I'm hunting, and out of the truck, my chamber is hot.
My pistol chamber is hot all the time as well. Colt 1911. Cocked and locked. How you should carry them.
