Not usually. About the only time me and my hunting partners load up is just before we shoot or if we have reason to be wary, like walking up on a bear kill or dead animal or on final stalk for an animal we already spotted and checked out. It takes too damn long to tell if a moose or sheep is legal to worry abotu snap shooting anything and having lived and hunting here in alaska for quite some time I'm no longer under the illusion that there is a rabid bear behind every bush. I do always carry a loaded revovler in a chest holster though.
