We have to worry about wolves, grizzlies, black bear and mountain lions out here so I don't hunt with my Ruger #1's. Did I ever tell you guys about getting between a hidden momma mouse and her baby (he was in the open and I was angling toward him) while elk hunting one time? That could have gotten ugly. When I saw her I did an abrupt about face and beat feet. Fortunately she decided to drop the subject and she and baby left.
I do only load 5 in the 99's. Don't feel like fiddling with the 6th round when I get out of the truck. But I have 5 or 6 more in my pocket.
