I've seen this topic come up a couple different times and was hoping to get a sense of what people do at the end of a day's hunting.
Do you leave your rifle loaded or blow off a "practice shot" at the end of the day and start fresh? If you leave it loaded, do you have limit to the number of days you'll do so?
Personally, I unload daily when I'm deer hunting with my Dad in Nebraska in mid-January mostly out of habit but also because of the huge temperature swings from outside to the truck to the house. When I'm backpacking in Colorado in September, I leave it loaded for up to 3 days but change the cap daily.
