All of this
I think I have more firearm experience than most people (who doesn't think that?) and I've found my booger hook accidently inside the trigger guard while pulling it out the hard case, fumbling up a ladder and it slips, etc. Until you're in a position to concentrate 100% on the gun, it should be unloaded.
You can't take the bullet back once it's fired. Remember that.

Agreed. I know that people have different rules and habits when it comes to gun safety, but some that I ALWAYS abide by:
When climbing in and out of my deer stand, there are no rounds chambered. It’s a habit to double check
Same for riding on a four wheeler, back of truck, etc
When hunt is over, check gun before putting it away in vehicle. When I get home, I check to make sure it is unloaded again before walking inside
I know it seems repetitive and unnecessary maybe, but these are things that I’ve always done, and will teach my son to do as he gets older. It takes a split second for something to go wrong, as everyone can see

I started a thread here a few years back that was kind of a poll on who leaves their rifle loaded all the time and who unloads it when not hunting. A staggering amount of people never unload their rifles. Its mind blowing to me, why take that risk? Do you think you're going to shoot a deer out of your camp at night or off of the fourwheeler riding out at night? Taking unnecessary risks is ignorant .
