Well, I never thought of that with my CZ 600

OK, so I know the CZ 600 Alpha .308 that I have has a detachable magazine. But what I never really thought of was actually carrying spare mags in the field. Obviously most solid hunters tell me they rarely if ever use the entire 4 or 5 round fixed internal in their preferred hunting rifle during a trip. Not being an experienced hunter in any way, shape or form, (sorry), BUT a decent shot I figured if I ever get out, I'd want to have one spare mag with me for malfunctions related to magazines, and I've heard of hunters lost, using the fire three system, and being shot dry in a matter of minutes. Yes, of course I'm over thinking it - I'm justifying using a spare or maybe even two spare magazines for this fine rifle. So, rationalizing all out of the way, any recommendations on how to carry one out in the woods, or desert, down here? Just curious.

Not overthinking at all.  As the saying goes, two is one, one is none.

On another note, I have an extra pair of eyeglasses on my car and in my laptop bag, just in case.

I had something happen to me on a hunting trip in the late 80s, that changed my ideas about being prepared while out hunting. Prior to that I carried only the fully loaded capacity of whatever rifle I was using- and I didnt own any single shots at the time. Afterwards I finally settled on 9 or ten rounds. That's why all my rifles have butt stock shell carriers. For a magazine, I'm not really sure....do you carry a day pack or some other goodie bag in the field?
