guns while shed hunting?

[jdb]

anyone carry a gun while shed hunting? I normally carry a pistol for snakes and such and depending on the area I'll carry a rifle for coyotes.

you shouldn't need a rifle for coyotes, unless your going small game...my opinion, not exp.

and snakes...you leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone...the worst your gonna find is an over gown, venomless gradner snake.

a rifle everyonce in a while for coyotes..that is if i feel like hunting em while im shedding....most the time nothing.

I don't leave my house without a sidearm, certainly don't enter the woods without one. You never know what you may run in to; bear, big cat, rabid coyote, tweakers, you get the point.

I don't.  I probably would carry though if I owned a pistol.  I have had that "somethings watching me" feeling more than once.  I have bumped into a handful of bears but they always turned and burned if they saw me, cats just watch, and tweakers don't go where I go.

Carry a rifle makes it more fun if the shed hunting turns into just hiking with no sheds showing up then you can start looking for yotes too.

Sometimes I carry my 40 S&W Glock, sometimes I don't.  Just depends on my mood I guess.

I carry a sidearm every time I go shed hunting.  You never know when you are gonna run into a cougar, rabbid coyote, etc.  When I am shed hunting, I am out there to shed hunt, not to kill anything (but I would shoot a cat if it was within pistol range).  Just my

I always carry a side arm. I 'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!!!
