Hunting the North

No but I'm looking at getting a Glock 29 in 10mm for 2 legged creatures and black bear protection.

I have Bow hunted for many years (20+) ANDi HAVE BEEN PUT UP TREES) more times than I want to remember. By wild dog packs, coyotes, other SO CALLED HUNTERS?, and just that erie feeling that didn't seem right? I'm glad that Indiana finally adapted a carry permit! Unfortunately, if I hunt on federal reserve property I can not still carry which is honestly my worst fear! Maybe some day? I hope so anyway? The bottom line us bow hunters aren't going to break the law and shoot an animal with a firearm, if we are hunting with a bow. That's why we are out there to get rid of the noise and panic! I enjoy the piece and quite of bow hunting the most, but I would still like the option of protection if need be!?!
My 2 cents

It' legal in Ohio and I carry, either my S&W XD 40 sub-compact or my Ruger SP 101 in .357 revolver goes with me all the time, Way to many crazy people now days.

I carry a S&W .357 Magnum "just in case."

In firearms season I use it for deer when I'm just walking to my spot or something of the sort.

I walked up on a coon with her babies one morning in the dark,was not good,she finally left.But even a coon
your not gonna come out on top,either way i was pretty lucky.Now in indiana it is legal.

I know of no reason you couldn't carry a pistol in the hunting woods, especially if it were exposed. The permit is for carrying concealed and loaded in a vehicle. Most places you can walk around with an exposed firearm legally.

That reminds me when I climbed up over 20' to my tree stand and poked my head above the platform and there was a sleeping coon that woke up and as freaked out as me..all I could do is duck under the stand and hope he went up, he did.

a guy i know was hunting public land in northwest IN. and shot a nice buck the last couple of days of late archery and that late in the season its self checkin theres nobody working on the property well anyhow he was draggin his buck out and 3 guys approached him next thing you know these guys started beating the crap out of him and took his deer. all he could do was lay there and watch them take his things and never to be seen again.

i hunt that same place and with my new .45 all i have to say is try that crap on me and see what happens
