I've hunted with a No. 1 for a quite a few years. Unless you're slinging it across your back, you're not going to feel it any more than you would a bolt gun. And unless he's jerking it around in the brush, it takes a bit more than a simple snag to depress the catch inside the lever that unlocks the breech.
I too have not experienced any difficulities when toting a #1 in the woods.
