The best way to carry a handgun while hunting is to leave it locked in the truck. If you encounter something that you can't kill with a hunting rifle, then you have more problems than a pistol can solve.
Lot to be said for this. Most of us aren't all that good with a pistol and waiting for the dangerous animal to get in your range could be fatel! That saig I do carry a handgun of some kind with me every where. Usually my 9mm in the carry holster. But actually would rather carry something like my 32 long for small game if I come on it. As for dangerous game, no way would I throw down my rifle to grab a handgun!
