as soon as I step into the woods, or am about to I chamber a round, unless its pitch black and I'm walking to the stand, in that case I will load the magazine but leave the chamber empty.

has anyone ever jumped an animal they are hunting and had them stand there waiting for a shot? I have, and if my gun were empty I would sure feel foolish, rather than be getting the knife out to gut him
