RE: carry a side arm?
We hunt a 1000 acre farm in the mountains,and we all carry side arms,hunting or just walking around. We saw 5 different bears last year,I had a mom and two cubs come within 20 yds of my tree during bow season..I' d hate to have one decide he wants to climb the tree I' m in . We have several coyotes too..I have a concealed pistol license.
