I don't know if Gumplummer's sentiment is aimed at me, or not.
But, there's no way in hell that you'll catch me in the woods with a single 'round' for my primary firearm - whether it's a single-shot, smoke pole, shotgun, bolt-action, pump-action, revolver, or auto-loader.
I don't take the shot on game animals unless I know it's a kill shot.
But that doesn't mean that I'm arrogant and stupid. There's always a backup plan.
Heck...
A few years ago, I was carrying a .444 Marlin Handi-Rifle on an elk hunt and fired all of my .444-410 shot shells bagging grouse. That, alone, was enough for me to turn around and head back to camp. I didn't care that the primary loads for the primary quarry were still good to go (seven rounds, I think). I wanted to restock on the secondary stuff. Grouse are easier to find, easier to clean, easier to pack out, and easier to cook, anyway...
