I do the same as BDHTR. Just unscrew the breech plug and push the charge out. I use pellets instead of powder so there is no mess. If you shoot your gun off every day after the hunt, you're just fowling your barrell up.

On the way out of the woods, I too just shoot it out. I do it for the same reasons cayugad does. Like he said it confirms my setup was weatherproof for that day, it checks the accuracy of my gun, and it gives me the confidence to know the gun is working properly so if that monster buck does walk up I won't be worring about a misfire. I am fortunate in that I own the property that I hunt, so on my way out of the woods of to one side of the logging road I have a shooting range that is shooting into a hill so discharging the gun is it not an issue for me.

I use the same method as Cayugad and for the same reasons. But I do like 12 Pointers idea of shooting at the neighbors cat. No more paw prints on my truck, hmmmmm.

Superman8791,
I have to agree with Livbucks.Suppose you were sitting on your stand for 6hrs with still alittle hope for that last shot and along
comes a YA-HOOOO and unloads his gun.You think he would get MAD?Thats not the word for it.Now if you were shooting at a
DEER, you just have all the right.....thats the way it goes,but to unload your gun?
YOU have the right to hunt or do what you want in the woods.........Think about it!
Cabelas has the co2 unloader....check it out.


KEEP ON ROOTING!!!
