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

Neither hot nor cold is �wrong� and I hunt both ways depending on conditions.

One thing is for sure � an empty chamber is 100% safe 100% of the time � no exceptions.

Another thing, an empty chamber should not be an excuse for poor handling technique and ignoring standard safety rules.

Looking back on my kills over the years I�m hard pressed to think of one big game animal I�ve taken that I could not have harvested if hunting with a cold chamber. Many, in fact, were taken when I was hunting cold.
