Our main problem is we talk too much if hunting together.

Excellent point mate :thumbsup:

Look, just point the fucking thing in the right place and there is no problem. It's a rare day I go on point and it's a rare day my mate shoots more than me. The rifle gets loaded at the start of a trip and gets unloaded at the end. Everyone knows that. No problem.

If hunting with another hunter, and their on point I carry my firearm pointing backwards,holding the grip with my left hand and the firearm resting on my forearm when possible.

otherwise i carry it with a full mag and a empty chamber,with my AR i have it with bolt locked back and safety on.
