Do you practice shot your rifle before the hunt season
Do you hunters re sight or practice shoot your rifle before the season start ...

Absolutely. I just sent in my gun club renewal payment today actually. I handload every round I shoot also.

always several times threw out the year. As well as practice with the 22 with the same action.

I shoot it throughout the year and most definitely just before the opener... You need to get comfortable and confident with your firearm (tool) in order to use it properly. I also practice a lot of free hand shooting with my .22 which really helps me shoot tight groups better.

I may be sticking my neck out on this one, but I would think not taking the time to ensure your weapon of choice "is on" is irresponsible. I sight before going, and once I get there (as I travel a fair bit to get to the hunt and stuff gets shuffled around a bit).

You're not sticking your neck out at all.
If you're not sure if your gun is on, then you shouldnt be in the bush.
I shoot year round, increasingly up to the time of the moose and deer hunts. Likely 60 minimum from each of my large calibre rifles, and a few bulk packs of .22LR. A couple cases of shot as well. I always shoot minimum two shells the weekend before each season opens, with the box of shells I will be using that week.
