That being said, I intend to hunt with it, so I’ll have plugs in when stalking. I wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone could recommend a smaller revolver to carry while bird hunting just in case the dog gets into it with a coyote or other varmint. Instead of plugs, use electronic muffs. And a dog getting into it with a coyote qualifies as an emergency. Carry your 357, or get something like a glock 23 or XD 40.

PRDATR Report post Posted December 20, 2019 A Coyote isn't going to stand and fight after you fire a shell in it's direction. You would be more apt to hit a coyote if you have a couple of #4 Buck shells than a pistol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelhead Report post Posted December 20, 2019 Although it's been a long time since I hunted over a gundog, coyotes had never been an issue while in the field. Javelina can be a problem. Especially when the whole herd takes up the pursuit of an offending canine. Often the gundog will come running to it's handler with the whole herd bearing down on both. Can be exciting. Doubt AZGF will buy a javelina DLP shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
