I always keep two in my vest in case I misplace the 3 that are usually in the gun. It happens....

5 in the gun, 5 in the vest, 10-20 in the truck
never know what might happen
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I carry one in the pipe, which is a given, 3 in the mag. That way i can load a 7 1/2 birdshot in case of a snake attack! I also carry two rounds of 00 buck for yotes! I also carry a 22 pistol cause you never know!

3 in the gun and 2 in the vest

WildTigerTrout

3 in the gun and 5 in the vest. My vest has 5 loops so that's how many extras I carry.

2 in my gun(superstitious) 1 in my pocket.

Timmer

1 in the chamber, 2 in the magazine.  I've never shot more than once, so I don't know why I need all 3.

Maybe I should put that 3rd in my vest in case I ever forget to load the gun before I head into the field!

All of the tools, some of the skills!

Seven, just because that's how I've always done it.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

With the single shot; 1 in the chamber, 1 in my right hand vest pocket, and 5 in the vest loops.

Luck counts, good or bad.

I usually just put 3 in the gun and go hunting.  There's usually more in the truck  (box of 5-10). I used to fill my vest full of extra shells but after a couple miles of walking you start looking for ways to lighten up the load.

I have always carried two in my right front pants pocket with one in the Encore or three in the SBE, whichever I am carrying.  I did have to reload the Encore once for the coup de grace and was glad the extras were where they were supposed to be.
