480 ruger. Not because it's necessary, just because it's awesome! ;)

I did love my Taurus Tracker Ti 41 mag though. It was the perfect woods pistol.

Really depends on where I go and how I am packed. Generally .357 mag as a minimum. Use .45 ACP sometimes and then .44 mag if it's really wild country.

.45 Colt loaded a little hot, then during elk season swap out the Colts for the .454s.

Well I carry a 1911 or my CZ 75 with a .22 conversion kit just for grouse or bunnies. If I was in bad bear country I may carry a 45 ACP or 45 LC.
