It depends on how long that I will be hunting, the game, and of course, the gun. Typically, I would say that I have whatever firearm that is in my hands fully stoked-whether bolt, semi, lever, etc. for fast follow-up shots-should they be needed. There is typically then 5-10 additional cartridges on my persons with another 20 or so accessible in my truck or the cabin, as needed.
The reality though is that I have never had to dig into a second pack or box of rifle ammunition while hunting and safely return the majority back to the ammo cabinet upon my return home. Now shotgunning for birds is another story...  Back the truck up and get that liftgate down!

Now I suppose that if I hunted in a state which allowed personal carry too with a sidearm...well there would be at least a full clip and two spare magazines to add to the list too!
Would definately be new belt shopping!

I usually carry the gun full plus a few, but it depends. The question is kinda vague. When I am hunting whitetail? about a full box of 20. When I am hunting squirrel or rabbit? assuming I am using a 22 then about 200 rounds just in case. If I am hunting hog? As much large caliber ammo as I can carry without bogging up to my knees, and still be able to climb a tree. etc etc

Normally carry 10-12 wheter hunting deer with a SG or Rifle. Normally have a box in the truck or cabin. Most every fired in one day was 9 but we wouldn't get into that. Normally a full weapon plus a full replacment will do.

I usually carry a full magazine and two refills for deer because there are many coyotes about.
For small game with the shotgun, I load up and carry a dozen more rounds in the pocket loops. Adam

I usually take 8 rounds with me. 1 in the chamber and 7 in my butt stock shell holder- there is usually a full box of 50 in the truck- my reloads- or however many happen to be left in that box.

Well I should have read the comments then voted. I just thought rifle and answered the question. I did not indicate the model 66 that I always carry on the belt with two cylinders full or the shotgun shells if bird hunting. If I take my clays cart bird hunting, which I normally do, then I can and do carry several flats of shells of different velocity and shot size. No sense going to a pigeon shoot or crow hunt with the wrong shells...
Best, Ed

Depends on which model 100 I am carrying
The 308 model 100 Winchester holds 5 in the clip and I carry 2 clips.
The 284 only holds 4 in the clip so only 8 total with two clips.

Usually around 12 counting 6 in the .44 ruger redhawk and 1 in the spout of my kimber 270 wsm and 2 in the mag. with 3 extra 270 rounds in my pocket. But for one of my antlerless rifle seaon tickets this year Im going to try my new toy. A CZ550 magnum in 416 Rigby I tested some loads for it yesterday. They consist of 300 gr Triple shock X bullets over 92 grs of Imr 4350. A 3 shot group went into 1 1/4 " @ 100 yds 3 " above point of aim. Which is right on at 200 yds. usings the iron sights on the rifle. Man I cant wait.
