    2 mags of 4 each with me, extra mag and @ 10 in the truck.
    Probably have 100 rounds overall but Son In Law and I both shoot 30-06 and I share a few with him.
    We've had a long tradition in our Family that Son and Son In Law get a box of whatever they are shooting in their Xmas stockings.

    while in the bush, usually 12.

    4 in the rifle, another 4 on the buttstock( depending where I'm hunting). And I have 4 that stay in my survival kit.

    A guy in Peace River Ab came across a pack of wolves eating 2 deer on a hillside across from him. There was 15 wolves. Since then I have always had at least 15 rounds on my person for the rifle I carried. Minimum 25 rounds if carrying a shotgun.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    9 on the stock holder, 1 in each pants pocket and the rest back at camp. I usually bring 40 rnds for each pea shooter I take. If it’s my Tikka, 2 full mags, 1 bullet in each pocket. The 444 gets 5 in the mag tube, and 1 in each pocket! But I always bring 40 rnds! Moosin

    2 full mags, 1 in the rifle and the other in my pack or pocket if I carry the xbolt.
    if i take the no1, one in the chamber, a couple in my pocket, and 5 in a sleeve in my pack.
    I almost always have a box or 2 in the truck as well

    10 in an ammo wallet on my belt plus whatever the rifle holds (3 or 5), so total of 13 to 15.

    Re: How many rounds of ammo for hunting?

    If I have my...
    .22, then it's 2 full mags and at least one box of 50.
    .30-30, enough to fill the tube, at few on the buttstock, and a full box of 20.
    .308, 2 full mags, and a full box of 20.
    12 gauge, full tube and an ammo belt with a mix of slugs and 00 Buckshot.

    I have an extra box of 20 hunting rounds, some birdshot, and a .22 brick in the truck and quad.

    I don't do much hike in hunting (overnight +) anymore, but when I did, I always carried another extra 5 rounds (in a ziplock bag) of whatever caliber I was packing. Don't remember exactly why I decided on 5 rounds, but it just became a habit. 3 for signaling, 1 to shoot my partner in the leg so I could outrun the bear, and 1 for me if that didn't work out maybe??? (just kidding of course!)

    I usually have about 60 of each load for each rifle and at least 100 rounds of 12 gauge in my ammo cabinet. Always shoot TTSX or TSX.

    I like to have a dozen perfect arrows each for my compound and stick bows plus a bunch of practice arrows.
