How many carry an..?
 

This isn' t really for people who hunt from stands but just for a conversation sake, i am curious if anyone here carries a hanggun just in case during bow hunting? I dont think i would, and if i did it would be maybe wild boar hunting.

It' s illegal to carry a gun while bowhunting in WY.....So I do not.....However I' ve never hunted in grizzly country and considering my irrational fear of bears, I would consider violating that law if I did hunt in griz country....;)

It' s also illegal in Georgia; however, I know quite a few guys that carry a revolver loaded with snakeshot just in case.

No handgun...but I do carry some hardcore pepper
spray. Saw a loose rotweiler (sp?) in my neck of
the woods[:o], for such a remote area I was
suprised. To be quite honest...it scared the sh@*
out me, decided it was time to have something
besides the 3 arrows in my quiver;).

I don' t use a hand gun for black or brown bears, so I doubt I would take one along while deer or boar hunting.

I carry a my 45 every time I go out, you got to round here.

Lots of feral house cats running around – there big, there nasty – and they will not hesitate to shred up a new summit seat. Let alone nip at your feet. When I hunt close to the Hamptons there is a big problem with wild dogs, poodles and terriers mostly. The nastiest little things you would want to find in the woods. There small but a real pain in the arse when your bow-hunting, almost lost a few good friends to them.

We don’t take chances here in the Burbs – It’s a dangerous world out there!!!

Here in SD the prairie dogs can get pretty big - they' ve been known to overthrow entire small towns - and - you know - they carry Monkey Pox so this year not only are we carrying side arms but we' re also carrying .223' s - so we can shoot them from afar w/o the risk of getting close to Monkey Pox.

BUT - I shoot a BOWTECH PATRIOT so I needn' t carry the .223 - I can hit a prairie dog in the 10 ring at 300 yards.;)

Red Hawk,

I asked this same question last fall on this forum.
It caused such an uproar that my topic was locked.
Newbies came out of the woodwork on that thread. :)
Some who replied to that topic have never posted since.
I always carry a Sig P220 ST .45 when I bowhunt or go to the woods.
I am going to be straight and tell you it' s for human predators.
Not, lions, tigers, and bears, like everyone else pretends, lol.
No, I don' t trust strangers in the woods and will not let someone approach me if I don' t know him.
Who wants to squeal like a pig ? LOL.
If that' s paranoid, so be it.
Like a cop friend once told me...
" It' s better to be caught with it than without it" .
Just ask Ned Beatty. ;)


Sag.
