I carry concealed during bow season and ML season on WMA's. Once gun season opens I carry a revolver. Not too many animals I worry about out there. I worry more about crazy lafayette county residents than wild animals, honestly.
40 plus stitchs in the back of my left thigh from a pissed off very bad ass boar 30yrs ago means if i am out there so is a handgun. went tree rat hunting for dinner while in stienhatchee with four friends, had 3 rats and two birdshot left in my 12gauge was charged and gave it two rds point blank in the face and then broke the stock of the gun over its head,, did not phase it. headed to the nearest tree big enough to climb, but he cut me before i got up. as i hollered for my friends who were luckily close by i sat up in that tree hurt and bleeding my only thought was where the hell was my redhawk. the guy who showed up first put three 308 rds in the head before it dropped. he had it mounted with a piece of my jeans glued to the cutter. jet black 375lb with 4.5in cutters and 3in wetters.
there will always be a superhero in the crowd who says that will never happen to them but you will never know when that chunk of kryptonite will drop in your lap :turtle
Kind of funny(hypothetically speaking)...I have hunted Steinhatchee my entire life, and I have heard the story of you getting cut. At least, I assume it was you. I remember my dad and uncle telling the story back when I was a kid of a fellow who got cut real bad, so I am assuming it was you

My weapon of choice.
I hunt 90% with my bow so i usually carry my xd on my side. Not so much for the 4 legged critters but for the 2 legged variety. With my luck i'll never hit the lottery but i'll walk into someones pot farm or meth lab. Either i'm getting more paranoid as i get older or this world is heading downhill fast. There seems to be 0 respect and no feelings or considerations for each other anymore.
allen ,, it was in 1979 and we were camping at tenniles
very good choice, mag. you can see my xd service 4" 45cal in the pics of my second 7pt in my shoulder holster during m/l season
