Never hunted in Africa and I don't think I can afford a brown bear hunt. Therefore, it is fair to say I NEVER carry hot. Only time it makes sense to me is if you are chasing something wounded that can eat you or kill you. I don't put elk in that catagory.


So you don't hunt with a round in the chamber,but would do so if you were to hunt dangerous game?Personally,I alway have a round in the chamber when cleaning game in grizzly country,or if I have to leave some of the animal and come back later to pack the rest of it out.
