Handgun while archery hunting?

I debate bringing a multi tool vs a folding knife weight wise. I couldn't imagine lugging a hand gun in the backcountry.

I was a park ranger for the BLM for years surrounding a big desert metro area. We found bodies from MS-13, but I still never wished I had a gun. The scariest people were the 3% militia dudes tactical Tom set up with body armor in the mini vans.

I will be ordering a venandi holster that attaches to the back of my bino harness. Might be something to look into

It used to be not legal in many areas....now with pot growers on public land, etc.....the game debts have come to their senses.

I was in Southern AZ many years ago and the Border patrol and USFW Agents told me I was stupid for not packing a pistol- even though it was illegal at the time.

I get it...a lot of guys packing pistols that shouldn't be. They have rarely fired it...and many never practice proper draw and shoot technique.

It stands to reason, THE most effective weapon is one you have trained with and know it well. These days, with dry fire and the laser bullets...there is no reason not to be good with a pistol.
