I tried empty chamber for a couple years when hunting with family. [/b] I never got a single shot off.[b] Heavy brush, short range, split second shots or no shots at all. Hunting alone, figure about 3 chances for aimed shots out of 10 buck sightings. It's pretty close to jump shooting quail with an empty gun, shells in your vest, not in your hand. [/b]Might as well stay home[b] and watch the NFL, whatever that is.

I have never thot about keeping count. I've had many close encounters w/deer over the yrs. and I'd never have gotten off a shot.
That's not all by any means but I never know when I'll encounter a deer I want to shoot.
When I HUNT.......the rifle is HOT.
