The most ammo I've actually had to fire while hunting, was 17 rounds of .303. And off to my left, my hunting buddy emptied his rifle and was reloading when the shooting stopped LOL
Not often a dozen or more BC timber wolves present themselves at 75 yards and decide charging you is a good idea. Regardless, it happened to me
So now I always (and did before) carry approx 30 to 40 rounds of the ammuntion I sighted the rifle in with. Loaded rifle, spare mag or ammo holder on buttstock, 10 rounds in a ammo pouch on my belt and the remainder, wrapped up in my day pack.
Better to have it and not need it VS being in a situation where need it and used it all up. Kinda like toilet paper hahaha

I routinely place extra rounds, in each pocket. So no matter what pocket I reach for I have at least one.

Bad experience years back, when getting out of the boat, unloaded and encased rifle.
Big buck stands up in the water, just yards from the boat.
Got the gun out, still standing there, search for mag.... WTF? Buck vanishes, find mag. Too many pockets!
There have been other such incidents over the years. Not any more!

Party hunting is allowed here in Ontario, so a guy in a group can take several animals.
You carry lots of ammo if you are with a group.
