When I was guiding deer and elk hunters we had a stead fast rule. Bolt handles up, always. Cant go off by accident and instantly able to put into action when needed. SMARTEST ADVISE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE FIRE! I had a 700 oops years ago (safety release and pew)... been up bolt ever since.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Empty when crossing water and climbing fences.
If someone is with you have them hold it over fences,by yourself lay it on the ground.
Bad thing for both lives ruined.

SMARTEST ADVISE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE FIRE! I had a 700 oops years ago (safety release and pew)... been up bolt ever since. Bolt up? Doesn't the bolt then fall back by either gravity if walking around slung or by brush if you're carrying it level? You're then walking around with an open action and allowing all kinds of dirt and grime into the action and magazine, right? I guess I am not understanding what is meant by "bolt up".

Have you never heard of a rubber band or bungee cord and saran wrap... You probably don't put bright pink electrical tape on your muzzle either.

Speaking of pink tape, when I was checking in 2 of the does that I shot last week a 20-something man asked me about the 3 pieces of pink duct tape around the barrel of the rifle that I was showing another guy. I told him and then when he seemed confused, I showed him. He said that it looked like a good idea and would have prevented the plugged barrel kaboom that his cousin had when they were goose hunting. Having had a plugged barrel kaboom about 50 years ago, I wish that someone has told me about the benefits of putting tape over the muzzle when you're afield.
