That is not so simple - giving some shoot in places where if you followed that rule you would never shoot anything
All my Hunting is so close - the animal would be spooked by the reload itself - not to mention the usual 2-5 secs you have to shoot before its gone
Maybe - you meaning - do not close the bolt from half cock ??

Climbing over a fence is a complete NO NO - and was drummed into all us farm kids before anything else.
