Some concerns about muzzle down carry:
Jamming the muzzle into the dirt/mud/snow.
Muzzle down is still pointed at someone next to you, if you hunt in a group.
Ricochets if the rifle goes off.
Remember that you are not in combat, and you need to identify your target before shooting, rather than react and fire.

Some advantages:
Quick to get into action, especially if you carry over the left shoulder and do the jungle squat.
One-armed control of the rifle, especially handy if crossing fences or climbing up or down rocky areas.
