I keep 4 in the rifle and two in a side saddle on the stock. Most of the time I have a 100 round count box in the truck nearly full.

I can tell some of ya'll have never had to run the gun dry on a pack of coyotes or feral dogs.
I HAD A PACK of five feral dogs attack me and my two young daughters one afternoon near Moundville. I ran the gun dry and had to kick and beat the last one off my 5 year old as I tried to reload. I'd of given a LOT of hard money for a M-16 and a 30 round magazine loaded up. Yup. My loadout always accounts for a situation like that where ever I hunt, public or private. When hunting public land the possibility of running into Green Teeth and his inbred cousins is always a possibility too. Plan accordingly.

3 or 4 total bullets. No more than that ever.
In my 32 years since I first began hunting, it has never taken me more than 1 or 2 bullets to ever get the job done, and rarely more than 1 shot per deer. I have both of my godfathers to thank for that because they spent a lot of time teaching me how to shoot well, which is critical to hunting success (obviously).

Fortunately I don’t think I have to worry about any of that where I hunt. If I ever have to refer to what I take hunting as a “loadout” I may just quit hunting and pick up another hobby

I have the Hornady ammo butt pad holders on most of my rifles.
I usually have 4/5 rounds in my rifle, 5 in the ammo holder loops, and 3 or 4 in the zip up part of the ammo holder.
Tote about that many with all my rifles.

I have 4 rounds in my hunting rifle. I have the 16 rounds left in box. I always carry my concealed carry while hunting as well with 3 magazines.
