Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Poll: Do you hunt with a round in the chamber?

A round in the chamber is bad, but ammo in the magazine??

I leave my ammunition at camp. When I see an animal I want to shoot I leave my rifle there, run back to camp, get the ammunition, run back to my rifle, load and shoot the animal. Most big game will stand in one spot for up to six hours, until I get back.

I immediately unload the rifle, leave it there, run the ammo back to camp, then run back to take care of the animal. Only an irresponsible dunderhead would have ammunition in the magazine while hunting.
