How many tags one might get or how prevalaent the game is is sorta moot to safe practices. I don't think many hunters today are subsistence hunters..tho many DO have a considerable investment in time and expense just to be out there with a tag.
Regardless of whether you can get tags for six deer or one, predation permits for multiple elk or one, caribou or moose tags as AK or Canadian NA ..........or whether you may have one shot in every three seasons..or what..
The onus is on the man with the rifle to hunt safely with reliably functioning firearms and loads..identify his target, and assess his own physical-mental abilities for the circumstances of the moment, including, but not limited to, his hunting style, terrain, weather etc.
Unload?.Sling the weapon?.Hand the safe weapon to another? Stay in camp and sleep it off?..:)
Be ready to chamber a cartridge?, or be locked and loaded.
Ain't no way to dictate what's best or right for every hunter or circumstance and... thankfully, responsible hunting folks still get the chance to make right choices. So make them and choose wisely whatever ya do..Jim
