Take it off and buy a replacement off of eBay to use for hunting. Store the nice one and save it for later. Don't put tape on it.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I've used this stuff to cover up a youth bow that was bright red... it holds on good, and doesn't leave any residue.

I agree with Jackalope.  If you're trying to keep it showroom new, the tape will keep the finish nice, but you'll still get dents in the wood with the banging against trees, rocks, dropping it, etc...

Don't worry about it! Scratch it before you go and you can focus on the hunt.

if youre that worried about the stock getting marked up youre better off buying a replacement stock be it wood or synthetic and hunt with the replacement and leave the original at home,  every gun that sees any sort of use will get a few dings and scratches even my higher dollar trap guns have a couple dings in them and they only see the trap range and i baby the crap out of them.

or just take ICEMAN's advice and slide it across the garage floor before you leave
