Never had to use the second one. I never load my gun until I get set down at the base of a tree....ready for action. The gun is much lighter to carry unloaded. Never shoot at a running, walking or flying bird, (just my opinion) no need to walk with it loaded. Harder to hit than standing looking for me!!!Never understood the "no load until setting up" mentality.Let me know the next time you sneak up on one. You won't here in PA. I've never shot a gobbler that I suddenly walked up on. Honestly, I think a turkey deserves to be killed in a more dignified manner than just a momentary, incidental, opportunistic harvest.But, I have struck birds cutting and running, I do tend to get within 75 yards of roosted birds, I do tend to move in as tight as humanly possible to birds gobbling on the ground before I call to them and I have also been know to crawl a bird or put the sneak on one that's in a field with hens. None of that is conducive to having an unloaded gun.Guns don't accidentally discharge themselves unless mishandled. The one I carry every day for a living still has yet to get a mind of its own and have a "desk pop."
