Hello all,
Still relatively new to hunting in general and I wanted to get some input about what people carry when out in the woods.
I am going out to Colorado this year for Elk bow season. I was thinking about bringing my SIG 220 10mm as my sidearm.
What do you guys carry?
 
Colorado OTC archery elk...the bears are running for their lives.....

I don't pack a sidearm in CO in over 30 years of OTC bowhunting

Isn't just bears though, there's also mountain lions, coyotes, wolves in some places, moose, other people, or even to be used as a signaling device during emergencies. If you carry a gun daily in society, it's not a bad practice to carry it in the woods as well. Now, if you were considering taking a gun only because you were concerned about bears, then I agree with you.
 
Taurus titanium 357 snubby w 7 shots, when I'm not carrying a long gun. Training hikes, Keltec P9 pocket which is my daily carry piece.
