How much ammo do you all carry besides what's in your gun? I usually carry two extra mags (30–40 rounds) but it depends...Hikes, contests or patrols mean I pack more. Do you carry extra rounds or mags?
 
Deer hunting with a rifle? Four in the magazine. Four in a spare magazine.

Small game with a .22 LR: a pouch full of about 50 rounds.

EDC: 9 in a mag plus one in the chamber and a spare 10 round mag.

Do note that in NYS magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds, while huntimg magazines for centerfire semi's are limited to six rounds.

It really just depends on what I'm doing. For everyday carry, I bring one spare mag but when I'm training, I bring three or four to save time
 
I usually carry a couple extra mags too, enough for an hour or two of shooting
