Default Does anyone else pack a gun in the summer?
I always try and have one handy for various activities. Especially in large carnivore country. Anyone else?

Just the 30-30 when I’m going way in to hang a game can or 2.

Not sure ya need one if your running a saw.....that’s have to be one goal oriented bear.

I'd like one even when running saw. Trust the gun more than the saw. Who knows what kind of whacky things you'll run into.

With my luck, it would be one of them hippy guard bears, so messed up it doesn't even hear properly!

The saw doesn’t run constantly.

Usually have my BPS camp gun around with 00 Buck and slugs, in case I see a coyote sneaking up on me.....
