Default RE: Opening morning - Fouled/Clean Barrel?

ORIGINAL: randyh

Just a question - saw elsewhere the advice to never go hunting with a "clean" barrel. The author was stating that best accuracy is obtained from a slightly fouled barrel, and that in his experience quite often the first shot from a cleaned, dry barrel, would result in a flier that could be off as much as 8 inches at 100yds. Anyone care to cooment on this?
randyh, what load and bullet are you using?
