Yah, I would be inclined not to chamber a round until ready to shoot either, its not that big of a deal to do, and protects you and others against a negligent discharge from dropping or mishandling your firearm. Especially seeing how most of the common carries for rifles have relatively unsafe muzzle directions, and not all safeties are created equal. If you hunt with people like that, ask them as a courtesy to stop, if they don't, hunt with different people!
And please, cartridge, not shell....Its not a shell unless its a shotgun
