Had a grouse hunt RUINED by a broken shotgun when I was a kid. I usually take 2 shouguns dove hunting.. I to shoot and one to loan out if anyone is lacking.
Do you take a backup shotgun?

yes, usualy a mosberg 500 beater/spare/loaner, and sometimes something nice of a diff guage (3 guns). had a mossberg tang safety (plastic) break once, not in the field. had a s/s old 16 ga discharge without touching double triggers when I brought it into shooting position and my left hand hit the forend it went off. removed the firing pin and practiced/learned stock refinishing with it and hung it on the wall as art.

Yes, and yes. Usually the B/U is left in the truck, but if I'm going off in a boat, it'll be in the boat. Also dependent on how reliable the primary gun is perceived to be. When 2 or more of us are hunting together, we will commonly bring one B/U for the group.
