I wouldn't hunt with someone who doesn't carry one in the tube. Shows they are too paranoid and insecure that they don't even trust themselves.If someone is that bad, I wouldn't trust them around me once they did chamber a round.
Being in the cheap camp. I have only gone on one guided hunt in my life, which BTW was in Alberta in the Red Deer River country. That guide insisted I chamber a round once I had my horse secured.Seems even the Canucks are a divided camp
WHOOOOOOSH , the sound of a bigger flame
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
