How many rounds do you pack in with you on a hunt?

[Hunter609]

How many rounds do you take with you on a hunt? Whether it’s pack in or day trip, and how do you carry them?

 

[Duh]

I carry 4 in the mag and 5 more in my bino harness. Sometimes there’s a couple more in my pack, in case stuff gets real western. But that hasn’t happened since I was about 14 years old.

 

[WeiserBucks]

I bring 10, 5 in a mag and 5 in a little ammo wallet in my pack lid. If you can't shoot well then you'd better shoot often.

 

[Long Cut]

3-4 typically in the past

Now that I use stock packs, I carry 10 just because I can. Weight doesn’t bother me.

 

[BugleMeTimber]

10 in an ammo wallet on my belt or in pack lid. Might keep an extra 3 in the pack lid or a box in the truck if I happen to lose the ammo wallet.

 

[j_volt]

Generally, 4 in the gun, 5 in the harness, 5 in the pack. That might increase by 5 if I’m going in for multiple days. I never want to need more than 1, but things happen.

 

[id_jon]

Two 10 round mags. I haven't lost a mag (forever) yet, but I've had to retrieve a couple. I am always hoping to see a pack of wolves, and I don't want lack of ammo to be what stops my shooting, I can dream.

 

[BBob]

3rnd mag in gun +5rnd mag in pack hip belt pocket.

 

[DiabeticKripple]

1 in chamber, 2 in mag, I think about 5-6 in my hip belt pouch. Usually only need the first.

 

[CCooper]

Loaded BDL box +2 in the bino harness. 10 in a ammo wallet in my pack

 

[Macintosh]

3 rnd mag in gun, 3 rnd mag lives in hip belt pocket on hunting pack. If a multi-day trip perhaps an extra 3 in pack. Have only broken into the second mag (or equivalent # of shots) once in almost 40 years of hunting.

 

[Reburn]

Dependent on gun.
5-6 if close to truck.
10 or 2 mags if farther out.

 

[Juan_ID]

Usually 3-5 in mag and then a wallet of 10 in my pack.

 

[Maki35]

3 in the mag + 7 in my pack.

 

[PredatorSlayer]

10 - 4 in the mag, 6 in my stock pack. If I can’t get it done with the 4 in my mag, I probably shouldn’t be out hunting.

 

[Hnthrdr]

Full mag (4) few in the harness (3), 10 more in pack lid, I am not sure what I will bring muzzy hunting, I’m thinking 6/7 rounds?

 

[SuperDUECE22]

4 in the gun, 2 in the SAP holder and 2 in the bino harness

 

[Dmoua]

20 rounds total.

 

[atmat]

I carry nine — 3x in each of my magazines, and I carry 2 extra mags in my hip belt.

 

[MTHokie]

I carry 4 in the mag and 5 more in my bino harness. Sometimes there’s a couple more in my pack, in case stuff gets real western. But that hasn’t happened since I was about 14 years old.

"real western" Ha!
