i carry but not all the time. Some folks knock it but the same old rules apply as any outdoor activity with firearms. Safety, safety, safety.
A 44 is a good choice in my book.

I carry a .357 mag. Only had to use it twice. Some folks don't like guns on hunts. If I'm hunting with some one I've never hunted with before on there place Ill always ask if it's ok to carry. If not its no problem. I'll leave it in the truck.

No guns here. Too many liabilities. My father-in-law teases me about going and taking a gun but I dont trust someone else shooting when my dogs are around. The people I hunt with have some kido's help out so guns are a "no go". I respect that they dont carry, but on the same token if I am hunting by myself then I am carrying.

I like for someone to carry a pistol or I keep my .44 revolver close by. I don't take it to the bay with me but I know its close by if I need it. I have had a couple situations that I have been in where I NEEDED a gun and those memories are what make me want to keep one handy these days.

We don't bring guns. One of the places we hunt doesn't allow guns on the property. Although I probably should at least pack one in the cammel back for the places that will allow it. Never know...   |

I never go without a firearm of some kind......no exceptions. I do understand that some of y'all, ninja included, hunt on places that don't allow you to carry. Plus a lot of you hunt at night which can present another kind of problem. It's my opinion that when you're hunting an animal that has the potential to do serious harm to your dogs,....then you should carry a firearm in the case that it becomes needed to dispatch a hog or bear or whatever you're hunting. If I used a catchdog I'd for dang sure have at least a 22 Mag. handy. I don't really hunt at night so shooting is safer than for some of y'all that do. I carry an M1 carbine, which is a short 30 caliber rifle from WWII. I put a synthetic stock on it and it is, in my opinion, the perfect gun for hunting hogs with dogs. This cartridge will not shoot through a hog from the side if it's over 75 lbs., yet it will kill a 300 lb. hog outright if you hit it in the vitals. I've read too many stories on here from guys that don't carry a gun about their dogs getting killed by a big, bad hog that could have been shot to save the dogs. I know that shooting hogs isn't too popular with some folks and that's fine, but where we hunt we have to kill all hogs, period, that's how we get access to these places we hunt.

Hubby carries a .44 mag revolver. He has decided to let me carry a 10mm alo we only use them for protection. And if the pig is too big and tearing up our dogs.

FireMedic, one of the places is a children's home, and we like to help them out, but to do so we have to do it without the help of firearms. Our dogs are not used to gun shots either, so I wouldn't know what would happen. Funny you say that about an M1 because my granddad passed his down to me. I love that rifle, but carrying that in the woods would be complicated where we hunt. So we just stay on our dogs behind as much as possible, and no matter what type of hog it has been we have been there to either dispatch or tie it up. I'd like to think that we know what we are doing, but another side of me knows that we've probably gotten lucky and not gotten on one in a bad spot. I also think our dogs know their limits most of the time. They are gritty yes, but most of the time if it is a bad boy they will backup and hammer down on em until the CD gets there... Of course all this is the ideal way for it to happen, but out in the woods you never know. I will probably start carrying one in my pack though. And I have a Springfield Armory subcompact XD40.
