Did 11 this year. Knocking it back to 8 next year. Hard to imagine a situation in the area I hunt where 2 full load ups wouldn't get it done. Take 30 or so with that stay in the truck .
For my rifle I usually take 2 in the gun 4 in my FHF gear bino harness and 8 in a my pack. I also take 14 in my 40 just in case I get I to it with wolves, cougar, or a bear.
