How many shells?

Was wondering how many shells y'all carry when you head out. I have 3 HTL's in my vest and one cheap lead 6. When I carry my 20 I usually grab a box of 5 hevi 7's and put in my pocket.

I put 2 shells in my gun and carry 3 extra in my vest of Hevi 6s when using the 835.  When carrying the 20 I load 3 shells in the gun and carry two in my vest.

I usually start with three and get no lower than two.

Exactly. I put 3 shells in the gun and go hunting.

3 in the gun, and 2 back-ups in the vest.

I also carry 2 #4 Buck in case I run into a critter that needs disposal.

I put three in the gun and go hunting.  I might keep two or three extras in the vehicle.

1 in the chamber has become more common for me in past years.

I take five, only allowed to have three in the gun so that leaves two in the vest.

2 and 1 in the vest plus 1 #7 for snakes

I never put more than 2 in the gun anymore. If I'm only hunting in my neighborhood I usually only take 5 with me, but if I'm hunting in a real remote area I take 10 or so. I do that in case of an emergency like getting severely injured and I  would have  extra to signal with. Or get involved with a firefight with sasquatch, you just never know these days.

3 in the gun and one in the vest.  Just a habit no science to it.
