Four in the magazine four in pockets one each. Was spring bear spot an stalk in Montana spent all morning looking for bears. About noon decided to set under a tree and eat lunch, couple of pine squirrels took exception to my choice of dining room. Took a perch about 10’ above me and proceeded to cuss me out after about fifteen minutes I had all could put up with and decided to teach them a lesson, so I shot the branch out from under them. Well I thought, that is it for bear hunting so I decided to do a little off hand target practice. Shot three pieces of white quartz on the hillside and reloaded the magazine shot three more all that were good targets. Set there a spell enjoying the day. Got back on the two track to the truck and hadn’t walked three hundred yards when a bear galloped across the two track he stopped about 75 yards up the hill. Looked to be mature and no cubs around so I shot him, he rolled down the hill into some really tall weeds. I took the spent case out of the action and realized I was OUT OF AMMO! After throwing ROCKS where he stopped rolling I figured it was OK to walk up to him. He made a nice rug and squared just under five feet. I still carry four rounds in the magazine and four in my pockets. But I limit my target practice to the range!

.270 holds 5 so that's what I carry. As a kid my dad always said he could tell where I hunted because he's just follow all the shells I dropped along the way. Now I never carry spares because I park, walk in, hunt, and walk out. Only shot empty once and that's because I got into a whole mess of hogs at one time.

Not real sure... However many .310 balls will fit in the little Tic-Tac box in my shooting bag.
I'm allowed 25 squirrels a day here but doubt I would want to skin that many. Lol

I use no rounds, I hunt like a real man. Spear from the trees that are my brothers and sisters. Actually it all depends, sometimes I see a blade of grass lol.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I once could only scrounge up 5 at home before I left for our cabin on the rifle opener. Opening morning I encountered the biggest buck I have ever saw in Northern Michigan and shot 5 times at him. Severe underestimation of the range was the culprit of the misses. He had no idea I was ever there even though I shot at him 5 times over a 5 minute span. Let me tell you it sucks watching the biggest buck of your life close in to 150 yards at 9 am opening morning with his antlers and hide shining as the sun burns the dew off of him and you have no more bullets to shoot him! It was not all bad though as I shot a nice buck that was wider than him but not as tall tined the next week in the same spot. I now bring about 20.
Trapping I always have at least 50 22s.

Dang it adam lol. Ok. When I was 10 and squirrel hunting with the old man our conversation leaded me to ask him how it was hunting with his old man, my Grandpa. And I'm going with the short version. He never hunted with him. We were in a huge stand of Hickory's in the early season before the leaves came off. Anyway he said I think we should talk about something else and as a kid I said no, how was it. He was born and raised in WV, around Sutton in the early 40's and is gone now. He said to me when I was your age my Dad was a coal miner and was leaving for work when he woke me in my bed. He said to me, boy, here are 4 shells for the family .22 rifle which was a Winchester. You have 4 shells, you are to get 4 squirrels or don't come home. The pressure that was put on him transferred to the day of our conversation. First time I seen what was a rattleless man become rattled. I have never since carried only a few rounds. Same reason my Mama had over 20 coats when she passed over last year. I will add a disclaimer because he was my step Dad who raised me since I was a shaver, Both my real parents and all my kin are from SE Kentucky. Moral of the story, put a few extry in your pocket lol!
