First day of season -full possibles bag and enough lead, powder, caps, tools and accessoriesto withstand a small siege from any invaders or to survive for months in the wilderness.
End of season -loaded gun and a few speedloaders in my pocket.

"2 pre-measured and one loaded gun. if i need more then that either i don't want to be in the woods that day, don't want to clean that many deer or i don't want to go home and say i missed"

couldn't have said it better myself.

but sometimes I'll stuff a third load in my pocket in case I mightneed to do a "rapid" reload - at the moment of truth that load is opened and thrown on the ground just to get that part over with.

Typically carry the loaded rifle and two reloads. Also carry a few extra primers.

EXTRA SHOTS? WHY? Just kidding. I guess it just depends on what you have available. I usually carry 4 or 5 extra speed loaders in my fanny pack. I remember back in the old days when you had to carry your flask and your patches and balls in your possibles bag. And you were always trying to figure out another way to carry your "loads". Too bad one of us didn't think of 'speed loaders'. Heck I even carried my charges in spent 20 ga shells covered with a piece of newspaper and duct tape.

I've carried up to 3 reloads in the field with me, here in Virginia were only allowed 2 per day & I figure that 4 shots total is plenty.

The loaded ML and 2 reloads in the tubes. Usually a couple extra primers wrapped in papertowel or kleenex (so they don't rattle) in an empty 35mm film case. Carrywhat is neededinthe quick-lok pack.

I pack 3 rounds with the powder charge and a extra flint
My inline 3 rounds and powder charge and a number #11 capper,I like t/c U View capper get right under the scope with out problems

5loads we are allowed 3 or 4 deer normally and with a tractor and a 6 wheel anfib ATV in the steel building I put on the land I bought for hunting I dont do much hand draging anyway. Lee

Loaded gun and 5 or 6 extras.....lol i might get lost and need to shoot some come and find me rounds.

I only carry three reloads and a load in the smokepole. Almost learned the hard way a long time ago to reload before you walk up on the kill. I figure if I need more than three I better go back to the sighting board and get out of the woods.
