Default pistol

do you guys take pistols with you when you hunt? because wouldent it be hard to shoot a fast moving cat or dog close range with a rifle? or if it is bolt action and there are more than one wolf?

I generally carry my ccw with me when I hunt. For daily carry, I use a Smith and Wesson M38 "bodyguard" 38 special. I occasionally carry my Glock 17 or Ruger Blackhawk 357 when I hunt but mostly the M38.

I always carry a side arm.I usually carry my Ruger 44 mag or my Taurus 357 mag. My view is that if I need to "finish off" an animal that I've shot I'd rather not do that with a 300 win mag or whatever I'm carrying.

Also you're right, it is nice for shootin a cayote or dog, I don't run into very many cats big enough to shoot in Indiana!

I carry a Ruger.40SW every time I walk out my door. Doesn't matter if I am going to Wal-mart, fair or the deer woods. You must be 21 in the state of KY to own a handgun. You must have a CCDW licenses to carry it.
