I guess you are assuming he is deer hunting....He just asked how we carry....

Even when deer hunting on our farms, I have had occasion to kill groundhogs, coyotes, crows, wild dogs, bear, foxes, bobcats, etc....

A gun without ammo becomes a club...

Yeah, I always carry plenty of extra ammo. You just never know what situation might arise. Especially when hunting out West when you can end up miles away from your vehicle.

Hmmm, I live "out west" and often find myself "miles away frommy vehicle." But I've never found myself short on ammunition.

Now, were I packing into a spike camp, I'd probably have an extra box of ammo on hand just in case I needed to re-zero a scope after falling down the mountain with it or something. Otherwise, I don't have a need to carry more than what the rifle holds during a "day hunt". If a bear ormountain lioncomes after me, I'd better kill him with the first two rounds anyway or things are going to get very ugly for me. Blasting away at coyotes and marmots throughout the daytends to scare off the biggame too, so I don't engage in that kind of thing, either.

That and the fact that more and more pot farms are popping up, and if I run into one and end up getting shot at by a Mexican National, I'm going to have enough ammo to resolve the situation.

Rammer

To each his own. But when its my a$$ that could be on the line, I know I will have more than enough ammo to last me for a long while.

I generally only carry a full magazine. Lately I've stuck to deer, squirrels, and backyard varmints. No need for the extra ammo.

I've carried a few hundred 5.56 rounds, blasting caps, c4, det cord, HE rockets, grenades, etc, and haven't had anything blow up while carrying them. I wouldn't worry about a few rifle rounds going off in your pocket.
