  1. 1. How many rounds of ammunition do you carry with you in the field on a coues hunt?



Recommended Posts

That is a hard one to answer as it depends on where I am and what I am shooting...Most hunts larger will carry the box with me...just so the ammo is protected from getting banged around

 

but if I am varmit blasting in Texas//I carry as much as I can :rolleyes:

Usually a full mag...so 3-5 depending on what rifle plus and extra 5. i figure if i need more i should stay at camp with the rest of my ammo. although my buddy shot a moose in montana this morning that took i believe 5 good shots from a 300 win with 180 accubonds.

I generally carry the full twenty out of the box into the field:

 

270WSM 140 gr

3 in the mag, 1 in the chamber

4 in (L) front pocket

4 in ® front pocket

the remaining in fannypack

 

FNP 9 MM

17 in gun

back up mag filled to the brim in fannypack as well

 

 

I always have another full box in my camping box back at camp for those just in case days. I wish I could say that on past hunts that I have never had to dip into those, but that would be a little white lie.

Funny you should ask, I usually only need 1 to 3. I like to carry 10 spares, 4 or 3 in the magazine depending on the rifle and then 1 in my pocket (total of 15). For the first time in a long time I hiked back to my quad a couple of weeks ago..... with .....lets just leave it at not very many spares :)

I usually have 4 in the mag and 5 or 6 on the shell holder on my stock. But if I empty the mag chances are I'm not going to the extras I'm going back to the range cuz something is wrong with me or the gun.
