my uncle told me back in the old days when he FIRST started hunting, he would carry his rifle on his back with the sling and then carry his shotgun with double ot buckshot and that way if he would jump a deer on the way to his stand or if it was a windy day and he decided to walk around he could shot them on the run, but now( 30 years later) he can shot them on the run and drop them most of the time with his rifle
me personally i have considered buying a 12g. getting an couple boxes of buckshot and carrying both like him so when it is a windy day( like it was last weekend lol) i can walk and have a chance at one on the run, i can shot them walking with my rifle but not running, but i have only been hunting by myself for 3 years now(only 16 yrs old)
