With me it’s not so much the ‘nano second’, it’s more the noise. And in the bush the shooting ranges are well within hearing distance of the deer.

One up the spout shooting must have been very common up until 2019 with semi auto hunting rifles, most of which are loud to load.

Agree 100% this is how i hunt too. Empty chamber if its just being carried, and one up safety on held in my hands pointing in safe direction if im expecting action.

it depends on the type of hunting i guess. Bushhunting i believe you need to have a round chambered. too noisy and slow to load otherwise.

I'd say if you're worried about wind you are too far away away and should get closer - its called "stalking" and its a very underated skill that is way easier to learn than making wind calls!
