Deer Season is Upon Us

I can't even comprehend the thought of this. I need two hands to safely carry either a rifle or a shotgun. So what do you do, chuck one down when a deer or a rooster pops up and then try to use the other before the target gets out of dodge?
Sling one, unsling the other. Or lean one against a fence post and pick the other one up. Ive carried a shotgun and rifle fox/coyote hunting since I was 14. Gun bearer and forward carry style slings make it even easier and safer.

Before I got tired of deer hunting I would also carry my slug set up and an encore pistol.
i guess the times have changed because I remember this situation from gun safety class with the CO in 1987. No birdshot on you when deer hunting.
However you want to do it I wish you luck and safety. But the 5 year old email response doesn’t say you can have both kinds of ammo in the gun at the same time. It says on your person. I would think a CO who wants to would ticket you for that because when does one action stop and the other start? Either way happy hunting!
 
This thread sure got derailed, ha! Not sure about hunting for both at the same time 😂Also I used my normal shotgun with a bird barrel up until recently, and have killed lots of deer.

But I’m looking forward to slug season and hopefully getting a deer.

Last year I went out on some public mid week chasing roosters. Just Use common sense and good judgement as always
