Usually full gun + 10-15 on person; If I'm out in the hills(back country) I will also carry a sidearm loaded and 20 rnds on person.
It's really dependent on circumstances, like what I'm hunting, how far out I'm going or potentially going, weather and length of hunting trip. |

Can't answer that. The ammo that would last me a few years of big game hunting would be gone in a day of predator hunting - and wouldn't last the first ten seconds of a prairie dog hunt.
Then again, I don't carry PD ammo ON me, either. They don't make pockets for full ammo cans.

How many Rounds?
I assume we are talking about metalic cartridge guns here, at least that's the way I responded to the poll. I have been none to take 3-4 boxes of shotshells on a dove shoot.

As some said, it depends what im hunting...
Big game I usually have full gun, full pocket....up to another 50 in the truck. Coyotes I usually would have 100 or so, plus some 00 buck for the 12guage back-up. Gophers....well I went gopher shooting over weekend(Was supposed to be a 5 days shoot but we got snow/rained out)I took with me approx. 20,000 .22LR rounds, 800 .204 Ruger rounds, 25 .270Win rounds, 100 .50cal BP loads, and 350 12gauge rounds. And that was just my stuff I went through 100 .204 rounds, 150 12gauge rounds, and about 1000 .22LR rounds If it hadnt rained us out I woulda used ALOT more!! LOL!!

Hunting what?????????? When deer hunting with a muzzle loader I will carry as low as 3. When coyote hunting with my AR I never carry less than 40. The last coyote I got I put 14 or 15 rounds down range before I knocked him down the first time and had to knock him down 2 more times before I got close enpugh to head shoot him and kill him. The first shot was at around 150 yrds. acrossed in frount of me and he had already been shot at and missed so he was smokeing when I started unloading on him, and the last knock down at over 300 yrds. They never get to far out for me to shot at if I have a clear line behind them.

"It depends" is the answer that makes sense to me.
Deer hunting, I might have as little as 4 rounds, total. Probably no more than 10, usually- depends on the rifle, too. Woodchucks? Probably more like 50 for each rifle.
