I do most of my deer hunting here in ks. pretty rare im not within a mile of a house. any survival situation extra ammo wont help. i just put 4 rounds in the magazine. keep the box i have my reloads in, in my pickup for in case. chamber a round when its time to. trapping is different. keep at least 50 rounds of 22 in the pickup. usually more. 50 rounds or so for my 22 250. sometimes i have my 22 hornet along. them ill have 50 or so rounds for it too.

I've not hunted bighorns, but pretty much everything else in North America (and quite a few species in Asia). If I can't kill what I'm after with my 5 rounds, I shouldn't be afield, in my (warped) opinion. Shouldn't take more than 1 shot, unless the limit is 5 (caribou or Sitka deer, or whatever).

5-20+ If im deer hunting i like to have at least 5. If im hog hunting i might want a couple mags worth. I am never in a survival situation hunting around here. If I were walking way out in the boonies i would have plenty of ammo. When I was growing up the plan was if one of us got really lost we would shoot 3 rounds as fast as possible and wait there for someone to find whoever was lost. Later on we just carried walkie talkies. Where we hunt there isnt any really getting lost, it was more of getting turned around in a swamp in the dark and not know which way to walk out.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

4 + 4 , if I need all those I better go back to the paper target.

One in the chamber, one in the magazine and 1 in each front pocket. 4 total, no noise!
I have nothing clever to put here.
