Shells? Oh, those are back in the truck!!!
... but seriously ... you've gotten pretty good advice. When I hunt with a single shot, if things look like they're likely to get interesting I'll slip two in my left hand, 1 between the pinky and ring finger, one between the ring finger and middle finger. That's three pretty fast shots. My hands know where each other are better than knowing where my rifle butt is or my belt slide ... etc. Most of the time, I pack my spare ammo on a belt slide. That's where my spare ammo is whether it's a belt slide full of .44s, spare shells for my bolt action, or a pellet pounch full of .22s for the rimfire. I don't have to remember what gun I'm carrying, I just have to reach one place for shells. I do, however, sometimes sneak a shell or two into my shirt pocket on my left side ... just in case.
