I admit, when I first started, I carried a ridiculous amount of ammo.

Now, I'll carry the 4-5 in the rifle. Usually throw 2 more in my pack, incase I do something stupid, like hit the floorplate release when I'm in my stand.
(Don't laugh, it happens).

If I'm using a revolver in the stand, I'll have the 6 in the cylinder. Maybe a couple extra in my pocket.

T/C Contender loaded, with 5 shells in a holder.

Blackpowder 2 speed loaders is all I have, so thats what I take after its loaded.

I usually consider the possibility of taking 2 deer, and maybe a second shot
per deer in case I suddenly suck at shooting, which could definatley happen.

Now if I'm walking a powerline, trying to jump a deer with a shotgun, I might carry 15 or
so extra shells.
