Walking around with a knocked arrow?

[Igottanewknee]

You knock on a door. You NOCK an arrow.

I think in some circumstances it's fine to hunt with a nocked arrow. It just depends on the situation. But the majority of the time it's certainly going to be better to not have an arrow nocked.

I was waiting for someone to say something so I didn't have to....

I could have corrected it, I just didn't care

I’ll walk with a knocked arrow if deer hunting slow or close to elk. Taking an arrow out of the quiver is just a nother movement when an animal is all ready aware of me that you can’t always afford to do. You can die or get hurt doing a lot of things. I don’t like to worry about the what if’s. Driving to the hills seems a lot more dangerous.

I don't because I teach hunter ed and it would be stupid to injure yourself doing something you teach your kids not to do. I nock an arrow when I'm sitting and waiting. If I'm moving in on an animal, I nock before I step into the clear for a shot.

I don't hunt all the time with one nocked but there are times during a stalk that I will have one nocked as I approach.  My thought is less movement when I do see the animal.  No stalk, thick brush, obstacles are all times that I don't have an arrow nocked and that is the majority of the time.

I'm not a bow hunter but I just have to ask: if you put an arrow on your string while getting ready to shoot, does that mean you're nocked up?

Yes

I'd have to ask: While driving around with a nocked arrow in a vehicle, would that be the same as a loaded firearm?

Should be.  This is also the best way to rip up the inside of your rig and gear riding around with an exposed broadhead.

The picture I mainly had in my mind is seeing the two guys in the back of a pick-up,knocked up and ready to go

I do it   
Not when traveling but when hunting it's knocked. Thick brush or over something it goes back in the quiver. That is how I was taught by My Dad. I can Hear Him Now "knock Your arrow."
When around another hunter it goes back in the quiver.
I also Hunt with a round in the chamber? The gun is never ever pointed in an unsafe direction. We load the guns when We start to Hunt same as above. Not when Traveling and not when stepping over a gate or some other obstacle.

would you say you spend A LOT of time picturing two fellers in the back of a pickup together, nocked up and ready to go?!?!
