I wonder if some guys have ever heard of acceptable risk management.

Same thing here, carry cold if you want,but don't try to tell me how to carry or admonish me if I carry some other way than what you think is accpetable. Especially if we do not hunt together



My comment on ignorance was directed at the fellow who inexplicably made a connection between how one carries his rifle and how one takes care of bodily functions in the woods.

I carry cold unless I'm actively stalking visible game and preparing to fire. What you do is up to you. Casting aspersions about how people manage other parts of their lives is ignorant, and I stand by my statement.
