How many rounds do you carry while hunting?

[Slowbalt]

How many rounds do you carry while hunting? Specifically for big game using a rifle.

 

[The ROC]

Bear season Spot and Stalk...

Deer season and sitting in my nice and cozy ground blind... One round...

 

[quattro.pilot]

I carry 2 extra cartridges above & beyond a magazine loaded to capacity + a cambered round. So it's usually 6 +/- 1

When I'm hiking and carry for wilderness defense I have a fully loaded gun + that same amount again.... so usually again it adds up to about 10 slugs

 

[pescador]

Two Mags worth. no reason other than if i got lost or if i had to spend some time in the woods i would like to have more than 3-4 rounds.

 

[45C]

About 50 rnds of 7mm magnum.

 

[yomomma]

3 shots insuccession for emergencies...

I carry about 20

 

[Steyn]

Six or seven.

 

[jables]

Full mag plus a couple extras, usually close to 8 for the day. Usually only need one...

 

[cheb]

Two mags plus 5 loose rounds. Most shots are for signalling, if required, i.e. 2 shots followed by more after two minutes. So, about 12 to 15 rounds total, in my case…

 

[obsessed1b]

How far from home? How many days am I hunting( back country camping or day hunting)? Where am I hunting? What am I hunting? What is other game animals around where I'm hunting?......different answer for each question.
If I'm day hunting close to home usually about 9 rounds...the amount that fit in the elastic butt cuff on my stock...

 

[Scott_N]

I usually carry the equivalent of a full magazine + 1 for the chamber and a 6 round ammo wallet in my daypack / person, so usually 9 or 10 rounds. I also keep 20 rounds in a container that I leave in my truck, but don't carry while I'm actually hunting.

[remyltr]

20
One for big game and the rest in case I stumble across a sounder of boar

 

[marty06]

Full mag, plus two in different pockets.

 

[mikeyb]

Depends. Big game and turkey hunting, I will have a full mag, plus a small 'ammo wallet' with 6 rounds in my backpack, and whatever is left stays in the vehicle. So 20, give or take. Waterfowling, could be a hundred or so

 

[Butcherbill]

Two mags, so 15 for my .308 and 20 for my .303
