[QUOTE="Weaselthis, post: 1686682, member: 19417"] Don't backpack any longer, but still somewhat weight conscious as I'm getting too old to hump excess weight! However, few years back, went on a guided hunt in the Selway. Outfitter REQUIRED every hunter to have 40 rounds. Seems a hunter in the previous cycle to ours had wandered off from the guide, got lost for 4 days, and finally found (alive thank goodness) down in the black/nasty under an uprooted tree trunk. He had shot all his rounds trying to signal and ran out. He dad a good story about a curious black bear encounter after running out of ammo (they were THICK that year in the Selway). Any, upshot is that I still carry a carry 1 round in my coat pocket, three taped together in my pants pocket, 20 rounds in a plastic case w/ foam at the top, and 3 in the mag. I hope I never have to use that much ammo for a day's hunt but can't let go of the thought of "I wish I'd brought more this time" that hunter must have had. I know I'm not providing any new info on methods of carry, but thought you might like a story illustrating a reason one MIGHT carry extra. [/QUOTE]
