Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Sidearm for Elk Hunting

Now, I am a pretty new hunter, and I know I carry a few extra things on me. LIke Roost, I carry a first aid kit. I also carry some lightweight survival items, and a couple extra knives.

I also always carry a sidearm.

Why?

Well, first, I always carry a sidearm when I am going to the grocery store. Just part of habit for me now.

Second reason? Two words. Chai Vang.

All those hunters, and they only had one firearm with them, and most of them were left defenseless and were killed at very close range.

Sure, a .357 S/A revolver aint the best pick for a SD pistol, but it sure as hell beats throwing rocks. This way I know I always have atleast some means to defend myself.

Just my perspective.
