During bear hunting I'll have my Springfield XD with 13 rounds of 230 grain ball ammo. During archery I'll have my trusty 870 with slugs on hand leaning against the tree while I wait my perfect shot on a deer.
FYI, If your hunting a true archery season its not legal to carry anything but a handgun. Your 870 would be illegal....

Guess I'm just not that scared of the woods or things that go bump in the night.
Besides a pistol hanging off ya is just that much extra weight.
If I just out scouting I will carry a sidearm but thats the only time.
Then it could be a 3 screw Ruger (41 Mag) or some kind of S&W auto.(40 Auto)

Rest of the time SW Sigma 9mm.

I carry a big friggin' rock. I'd jump on their back and ride 'em like a bucking bronco and beat them to death with it.

I was messing around with a friends blackhawk serpa the other night and liked the but :dunno: I'm open to suggestions. 8)
The only drawback I can think of with the Blackhawk is that the plastic is noisy if you bump it. But with 40 days until the season starts there's no way you'd be able to break in a leather rig. It'd be creaky with every move you make. I have a Serpa for my G17 and it works well. I can't wait to shoot that 10mm.
I'll be packing my LC9. I don't worry about the 4 legged varmints, just the 2 legged ones.

Just got a call that the glock 20sf I ordered came in today! :IBCOOL: it'll be fed some 220gr buffalo bore hardcasts. Should be adequate enough for any trouble that may come my way :chuckle:
What's gonna be on your hip this hunting season?
Same gun, but loaded with 200 XTP's. Good choice in pistol...

Then there are the back up handguns which go with the hunting handguns. If the Contender (in any caliber) is the primary, the full sized Kimber goes along. If it's one of the Savage Strikers, then the Chiappa Rhino rides on the hip.
It's all about having a well matched pair.

Either a 4 5/8" Ruger Flattop in .44 special using a cast 255gr SWC @900fps, or a 4 5/8" Ruger Flattop in .44 mag with the same bullet at 1100fps. Pack either one in leather as it makes the least noise and leather is just cool.
Or anything in 44. :chuckle:

As for my woods rifles; 30/30 Winchester (170gr) for Deer, and a 444 Marlin® with Beartooth® 300gr LFNGC Hard Cast Boolits*

I am barely aware that there is any other caliber out there :oEither a 4 5/8" Ruger Flattop in .44 special using a cast 255gr SWC @900fps, or a 4 5/8" Ruger Flattop in .44 mag with the same bullet at 1100fps. Pack either one in leather as it makes the least noise and leather is just cool.

Dang I had no idea hit was so common to git charged by dangerus critters. I ain't never been in 40 years of huntin and fishin sept that time I stepped on a bar cub and he sqalled for his momma n she come arunnin. I guess I dint know how lucky I been I spoze I better git armd better cause I ony carry a ol trapdoor .4570 that my great great great grandad used in the war of northern agresshun.Interesting, how does one use a gun/cartridge combination invented in 1873; in a war fought from 1861 to 1865?
