Similar for me. If I'm hunting out of a stand, I don't load until I climb up and get situated and unload before I climb down. If I'm hunting from the ground, I'll load up as I'm walking away from the truck then unload as soon as I can see the truck...even if I'm just moving to a new spot. When I'm at home, all my guns are stored unloaded in a safe except for my home defense pistol. Even on that, I keep the mag in but don't leave a round chambered.

the same for me.

I understand that chambering acround takes extra time, in that case I am dead. I have assessed that the minimal threat of that happening is less risk than having a round chambered. I understand that people differ.

Killing an extra deer or duck because I am locked and loaded is not worth the risk of transporting a loaded firearm
