I have seen several posts saying to hunt use a fouled barrel. My question is does that mean to run a spit patch and then a dry patch and leave it that way until the season ends?
See this, I am of that philosophy, but don't use this fellows methods:

If you field clean between shotswith 2 bore butter patches, reload, and then in the evening push the bullet out from themuzzle back to the breech, and thenyou look thru the barrel it will suprise you. It is "pretty clean" using just this simple field cleaning method. Look at your barrel field cleaned with 2 BB patchesand look at it "cleaned" and look at it shot once. You will see what I mean.
