I ALWAYS carry a handgun when Bowhunting. Usually my Glock 32 in .357 Sig Caliber here in TX. And my Glock 20 in 10mm when I'm Bowhunting where bears are known to be in the area I'm hunting.
But my main reason for packing a handgun during bow season is for any possible 2 legged varmints I might encounter.
It's not uncommon to run across wetbacks, here in a lot of areas in TX.
I will add that you need to check your State Laws concerning carrying a handgun when it's Bow Season Only. It's not legal in all 50 states. But It is legal here in TX, though, if you have a CHL. Your State may be different.
