That emptying of the charge, at the end of hunting season, was a ritual of mine too. Last couple of years, I've been trying to ding a coyote with the old rifle so I left it charged.
Of course I always pull the cap off the nipple. Anytime the rifle is loaded & uncapped, I also set a fired .22 LR case over the nipple and let the hammer rest on it. This provides me with a visual and tactile reminder that the gun has a load in it.
