Any one hunt cold in a single shot? I hunt hot as well in my Ruger No.1s. However, I also know how to check my safety. If it's not safe with the safety, it has no business being out on the hunt in the first place.
Also when my rifle isn't in my hands, it's slung but end up (muzzle down). Ever tried bring the rifle to a shooting position from the typical muzzle up slung position in comparison to muzzle down? In bear country, you'll quickly see which is quicker.
I'm sure this will be ridiculously and redundantly dissected into a "what if" and about how dangerous it is for the extreme tiny moment I'm not checking the safety, and a bush reaches in and cleverly toggles off the safety and deliberately slips it's self into the trigger guard without myself being aware to any degree of this activity.
Cold chamber hunting isn't taught at the hunters education in CO.
Some go through life wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem. Ronald Regan
