I very seldom have a need for a hasty snap shot in the country I hunt. Used to get a kick out of going into the thick stuff and sneaking up on them in their beds, not so much anymore, been there done that for many years. Been into long range shooting for almost ten years now so I much prefer more open country. Hell nowadays I'd have enough time to chamber 50 rounds without them even knowing I'm anywhere around. Alot of times I'm watching them for quite awhile before I've decided to take my shot. I just see no point in not having a round chambered for most all my hunting. Now if I had my gun slung and was trying to scale a particularily steep area or one that I had a chance of taking a tumble down the mountainside, I'll remove the one in the chamber - its just common sense.
