Left your ammo on the kitchen counter?

[joe-nwt]

How many people have left to go hunting and left their ammo (someone else can do magazines) at home?

Personally, gun and ammo and a knife, if it's eating critters i'm hunting, are the first things packed. I've had cold feet, cold hands, been hungry, thirsty, dead GPS batteries, all kinds of things but I always have plenty of ammo.

I voted No, remember gun,remember ammo. But with my memory.....Just a matter of time!!

not yet but once I forgot my gun. good thing I had a backup packed

 

[Noel]

Brought the gun, brought the ammo, left the bolt at home.
I always pack the night before now.

I am waiting for the time I bring the wrong ammo. That will be a dark day too.

Never forgotten ammo..........................yet..............now ive jinxed it....damnit

 

[bcsteve]

No yet but if/when I do it won't be good. Everybody in my group hunts with boring cartridge like the .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag and I mostly shoot a 6.5 and a .35 Whelen. I'm not going to be able to steal there ammo!

.....left the bolt at home.

I've seen that far too many times...



Remember the SAS creed: your gun, your gear, yourself (in that order).

 

[Why not?]

One time, on a fly-in trip of all things, I forgot to take the trigger lock off my 375 SAKO. The pilot was in a hurry, the rifle was in the case, and I loaded it into the plane w.o. even thinking about it. The key, of course, was back at the truck!

Great opportunity to hunt with the backup rifle. We always take one. That trip it was my Marlin 45-70. Felt kind of neat packing that thing.

Forgot my ammo one time (at least), but only had to back track ten miles!! Took my old Savage 6AB tube-fed .22 as a backup for a gopher hunt this summer. Left the tube follower rod at home!! My buddy forgot his gun lock key on another gopher hunt. He used the Savage that time!! My wife says I'm worse than a little kid when deer hunting rolls around. She puts all my deer hunting clothes in a storage tub now so I don't have to tear the house apart.

Never lost a mag or ever forgotten ammo. Maybe next year.

Nope, but had to drive one of the guys five miles back to camp to get his. That was many years ago, he never repeated it, and we never let him forget it.

My buddy forgot his gun lock key on another gopher hunt.

One time, on a fly-in trip of all things, I forgot to take the trigger lock off my 375 SAKO.

I've had this happen to other hunters on trips. It never happens to me because THE LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE A FARGING TRIGGER LOCK ON A NON-RESTRICTED FIREARM DURING TRANSPORT.

Trigger locks are easy enough to get off with the small blade on a Leatherman Wave. Every time I've done it for some hapless friend I explain the law to them and tell that if it happens a second time they are on their own.

 

[gth]

I had the ammo but when I opened the gun case I found a .410 instead of a .222rem.

Oh well, at least I had a few .410 shells in the console of the truck........... and no I didnt see any fox or coyotes while I was bird hunting.

 

[bear.23]

I don't hunt so I didn't vote... But I have gotten to the range to find I have the wrong keys for the gun case. and the wrong ammo for the guns I had with me....

 

[snowhunter]

One hunting partner showed up in without the bolt, which was in a locked up at home, as well as wrong ammo ,and no keys for the trigger lock. Lucky for him that I had an extra gun and ammo

 

[Fall Guy]

I grabbed the wrong MTM ammo box - ONCE.

It cost me about three hours to get a new box. What a pisser that was.

 

[fester]

Ikeep a couple rounds in the truck

 

[Republic of Alberta]

I keep everything I need in a little back pack including back up ammo. I go hunting so many times a year that it ends up being impossible to keep track of all me gear. I love it when my buddy's stop in on their way out hunting or give a last minute phone call, all I do is grab my pack get my rifle out of the safe and I am gone. It takes less than 2 minutes.

I also keep ammo in one of those little butt stock shell holders when I am out in the bush. It doesnt matter what happens -I grab the rifle -I have ammo. I think of all the little do-dad things I have bought the shell holder is the best.

 

[gitrdun]

So far so good, I've never left my ammo at home, but I did forget my hunting license and tags...

 

[pfosted]

I have brought the wrong bolt. and i have started putting some of every type of ammo in my boxes, so no matter which one i take i have some.
