Quick Answer
When hunting with a slug gun for deer, the best way to carry shotgun slugs is in a shell carrier or pouch that keeps the shells protected, organized, and easily accessible.
Choosing the Right Shell Carrier
When selecting a shell carrier, consider a design with individual shell compartments to prevent rattling and damage to the shells. A well-made carrier should also have a secure closure system to keep the shells from shifting during movement. Look for a carrier that can hold at least 5-6 shells, depending on the intended length of your hunt.
Securing the Shell Carrier
It’s essential to secure the shell carrier to your belt or clothing to prevent it from becoming dislodged during hunting. You can use a dedicated shell carrier belt or attach the carrier to your existing belt using a clip or strap. Make sure the carrier is positioned in a way that allows you to easily access the shells with your dominant hand.
Additional Considerations
Consider carrying additional shells in a secondary location, such as in a jacket pocket or on a separate belt. This can be especially useful if you’re hunting in a dense area where it may be difficult to access your primary shell carrier. Additionally, make sure to check local regulations regarding the number of shells you can carry during a hunt.
