I and fellow hunters that hunt together with always hunt with no shell in chamber and an uncocked bolt.I may end up perhaps losing a bolt but will not have an unplanned discharge.Even when calling coyotes, which I do a lot of, I will never chamber a shell till I see an animal.In my opinion you can never be too careful around guns be it alone or with others.A person I know fell and had his 300 Win mag blow open his stomach.Fortunately he survived.
