(Rattlers, bears and two-legged yotes) This is how I roll but rarely carry a side arm because I am wuss and don't like the extra weight... gotta fix that! I also rarely have a round chambered unless the magic is about to happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I was able to find a link to what I wanted... http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Allen-Deluxe-Ammo-Carrier/productDetail/Clips-and-Magazines/prod99999031115/cat100043 RCD, if you hunt in A. Lion country B. Undocumented Democrat country, the handgun is extremely worth it. When I killed my lion way back in 2006, I shot him at extremely close quarters, like 20 feet. When I looked over the edge after I shot and re-gained my composure, he was not there! I put the 270 down and grabbed the XD-40, thinking 13 rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger was better then one round. He was dead as a door nail, just rolled a few feet. Plus, a handgun works very well at putting an animal that might still be alive when you walk up to out down for the count, as compared to a high powdered rifle shot at very close proximity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I agree completely for all the reasons you gave I have just been lazy lately. The Ruger P89 is heavy, the Kimber is also and too nice bang around. I keep saying I am going to get a concealed carry/pack gun just need to do it. I shot my lion with a scoped rifle at about 15 yards. It scared the snot out of me since it was about 20 feet like yours when it showed up, seemed more like 5. I was using a hand call and never heard it coming and then took a minute to even register what was staring at me. Fortunately it finally walked of a few feet so I could shoot it in the back like a man. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save yourself $400 or so, buy you a used xd-40, 9 or 45 or Glock 22/23 and call it a day My xd has seen some serious carry time, been refinished twice and still shoots like a house'a fire! I never jump in my truck to go into the woods with out it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8OWHUNT247 Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I keep one bullet in each pocket.. That way there is always one available and they do not "clank" together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I keep the magazine full 4 and I also have the shell holder on the stock that hold 5 or 6. Then a few in my pack just in case those come up missing. Note I have never had to go to any back up ammo. Knock on wood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I keep one bullet in each pocket.. That way there is always one available and they do not "clank" together. Same here.......I keep everything else out of my pockets, nothing up front or in the back just one round per pocket. If I have to go deeper than that I have rounds in my daypack......

wildwoody Report post Posted August 14, 2015 One shot one kill. Take good ethical shots and you won't need more then one extra clip. But I guess its like my father says , its all proportional to the amount of lead you put on the hill, but then then again he never hits much, practice and you won't need extra bullets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
