When do you load your gun?

I load as I'm leaving the truck. I unload before I get back in the truck.

 I load up at my Jeep after I am all ready to go.  It is the last thing I do before entering the woods. The first thing I do upon returning is unloading my shotgun.
Deer see you and think you are a stump. The Old Gobbler sees a stump and thinks it is YOU!

I load right before going into the woods and unload when I get back to the truck or house

I hunt with an 870. I load the magazine when I leave the house but I don't chamber a shell until I'm setup. I don't do much moving but if I do, I empty the chamber beforehand. I've heard a few stories of guys using an 870, falling, the but hits the ground causing the pin to strike the primer and causes an accidental discharge. It messed with me and I don't want to take the risk with my particular shotgun. I empty the magazine when I get home.

870, I leave the magazine full and slide one in when I get out of the truck, take it out when I get back

When I get out of the truck and everything is in order, I load it just before I take off walking.
