How much ammo: Hunting?

[Moparmike]

Anyone know the standard load out for an A-10? If I am hunting light game it is usually about 10 cans for the M-60 in the Huey.


Havent hunted yet. I imagine a couple of stripper clips worth, plus a mag full of 8nm.

For deer, I fill the magazine in my Savage 99 and carry another 5 in a pocket. Can't remember the last time I used more than 1, though. When handgun hunting with a revolver, I fill the cylinder and carry a speedloader with another 6. When using the Contender, I usually carry 10 rounds. Since I hunt my own land, if I somehow ran out of ammunition, I can just walk back to camp and get more or over to the house and swipe some of Dad's. For bowhunting, I have four arrows on the bow.

For bowhunting, I have four arrows on the bow.

Now that is another story. I used to have sights and an arrow holder on my bow, but this year I took all that off. Now I carry just the one arrow.

Depends on what I am hunting with...

Bolt gun for deer - 5 in the gun

Coyote hunting with the AR - 1 20 round mag

Squirrel hunting with the 17HMR - 40 to 50 rounds in an ammo carrier

Muzzle loading for deer - 3 speedloaders

Bow hunting - 6 in the arrow holder

44 Mag revolver for deer - 6 in the cylinder

10mm Auto for deer - 1 10 round mag

Can load up to 1187 rounds but the standard load is 1150 rounds of
30 MM.

I usually have a full compliment in the hunting rifle and 10 extra rounds for deer.

When hunting hogs I usually have 20 extra.

Birds, as much as you can carry comfortably. Say 2 boxes for dove and quail.

I always have a sidearm on during hunting season. Got shot at once before and ran into a few suspect folks out in the wild.

Expecially down where I am if you know what I mean

For deer 20-30. You never know when you need them...... and on the rare chance that you are injured and cannot walk you may need the rounds to signal for help.

 

[TrapperReady]

Deer hunting - 10 rounds, half in the rifle, half in a pocket.

Bird hunting - 25-50 depending upon how far I'll be ranging from the truck. I'll usually have at least 3-4 extra boxes in my field bag, so that I can change loads if need be.

Rabbit and squirrel hunting... just grab a handful of .22 shells... kinda like M&Ms. Just make sure to clear out your pockets before they go through the laundry.

15 to 20 rounds when deer hunting.
