Depends.

Big game hunting I hunt cold, both with rifles and muzzleloaders (few minor exceptions to this, ie: in AK bear country). Bird hunting its hot, slow & careful.

I dont see an option for both.

I was taught to hunt hot way back when. I was also taught if you followed the basic ten commandments of hunting/shooting that hot or cold you would be considered safe. I still believe that.
95% of all my hunting is done with a single shot rifle that requires the hammer be cocked in order to fire. They also all have hammer blocks to reduce the risk of an AD as a result of a fall or impact.

I'm not a democrat or P.C.-so you know what my answer is!BTW-I still use ruger blackhawk's with three screws,hammer down five holes loaded!Treat them all like they are loaded and there are less problems IMHO.

What are "obesticals"

Can ya find 'em in deep cold pools?

or do they shrivel up?

H-Joe,

I don't see any "obesticals" around. I guess whatever they are, they already shrivel up, disappeared, run off, or something.

I always hunt with a hot chamber, the safety on and watch the muzzle. Crossing obstacles when afield or in the woods requires safe hunting practices and I unload temporarily. Take care...

Dimitri,

I was imitating H-Joe's spelling. I didn't know what the heck he was talking about! Sorry to participate in a ribbing.

Dallan, I'm not a front stuffer shooter, so maybe a silly question but, how do you hunt cold with a muzzleloader mate? Do you load everything except the putting the cap on the nipple or do you do the complete load when game is imminent?

Cheers, Vince
