This season will be my first ever gun hunt I used my bow all last season and enjoyed the challenge. I bought my ML this winter and can't wait to use it this weekend hopefully. Thanks for asking the question because after reading the answers I got an idea about how much to take. I was going to say 2 loads for my ML,one for the deer and one for me for missing but if I missed the deer I may miss myself so I better take 3. All joking aside I got my ML zeroed in yesterday and if I miss it won't be the ML fault that thing is spot on at 100+ easy.Good Hunting to everyone,by the way I will take at least 6 loaders with me,yotes and a big cat are in my area. Someone released a panther in our area and it is very active even the game warden has seen him and has told us to put a round in him if we see it. A nice mount he would make. Later
