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

Huh - how do you hunt with an empty chamber, especially in thick cover where a quick shot is all you might get (if lucky).

This reminds me of the instructions that came with a Colt Double Eagle (remember these?) warning: "Always carry the pistol with an empty chamber; load when absolutely certain that you will shoot." And this was a pistol Colt hoped to sell to police departments. No wonder Colt is nearly out of business.
