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

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). Mike |
Mule deer. 7mm Rem Mag, 3 in the belly, 4 more in the sling.
''' 50cal ML, one in the gun, 2 in reloads. |
Mule Deer, Elk, Black bear
7mmRemMag 2 in the magazine, 1 in the chamber 2 cans of bear spray. I hunt 3-5mi. from my house. |
I usually hunt close to home. Leave at 0h dark-thirty and return late evening, well after dark. 1 fully loaded rifle, 2 or 3 spares and the remainder of the box in the truck.
When I do go on out of town trips, it's 2 rifles and 2 boxes of ammo for each rifle. |
