HUNTING SURVEY (prey, gun, # of rounds)
 

I'd be very interested to see other forum members' responses!


prey:
gun(s)/caliber(s):
number of rounds you take on a hunt:

2 guns, 1 to hunt with, 1 backup, 2 boxes of ammo for each.

a week long hunt. 2 rifles one box for each

I take at least one extra gun to stay in the truck. For most my hunting the ammo is interchangeable(shotguns) LAst year i had to run back to the truck after learning my firing pin was busted on my shotgun... for deer there is a extra rifle with a box of ammo in the truck

Deer-Single shot rifle in 30-06, 45/70, or 45 Colt. # of rounds---3 or 4 in my pocket, plus 3 or 4 gallery rounds for small game. Tom.

Deer,my main rifle + a back up 'cause you never know what might happen.Ammo i usually keep about 10 rounds on me and another box in the truck.Small game basicly the same set up.Got 2 of the 50 round nylon cases for shot gun shells.depending on rabbits or birds one box will have one size shot the other will have different in case conditions change.

Two rifles with two boxes of ammo for each.

2 rifles, 1 revolver, 1 carry weapon, 10 rounds for each rifle, 2 speed loaders for the revolver and one magazine for my carry weapon. 1 week in length 600 miles from my reloading bench...

When I am deer hunting I have 1 rifle with 9 rounds on the stock.

I hunt deer with a muzzleloader most of the time, and I only need one round (but I generally carry 4 reloads just in case). When I hunt with a rifle, I carry a full magazine (3-4 rounds), plus one more magazine worth in my pocket. But again, I've only ever needed one shot. The couple times I missed, having the reloads would have made no difference.

When I hunt small game I'll either carry my shotgun with a full load of appropriate shells in the gun (5 rounds), plus 10 more in my pockets, or my 10/22 with a full mag (10 rounds) plus an extra box in my pocket (40-50 shots).
