[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1952287, member: 69192"] I load five in the rifle, carry a ten-round wallet holder on my belt and twenty rounds in my back. When black bear hunting I also carry a loaded Glock 20, one in the chamber and an extra magazine in a belt holder. One year while deer hunting in Greenville, Maine we were hunting with group from New Jersey who busted our asses for carrying twenty rounds when we went out; they only carried five in their rifles (Remington 742s). On the third night of the hunt, George got lost, and........we got about an inch of rain and the temperature was around 33 degrees. We searched for George until midnight and called it off until morning. In the AM I went in to the swamp where George was last seen and started hollering for him. After the second yell, a round went off behind me about ten feet away, and......I nearly [I]--it my pants!!![/I] George was laying down next to a log, he got up ran over to me and hugged me telling me how grateful he was that he was found. He told me that he had prayed to God that he was found, that he was going to pay extra attention to his kids and that he was going to buy his wife a new car if he was found! And.....within five minutes of being found George inhaled a ham sandwich that was left in my coat from the day before, and two Hershey bars within a minute.
