What do you carry in the woods?

For trout fishing when the bears are out and about I like this one. My upcoming custom JK will be the perfect compliment to this:

I have heard of a polar bear being killed with a cute little gun like that, but that was because he poked his nose into a tent and was shot point blank. But a charging bear? Remember Jaws? "You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, shark is in the water. Farewell and adieu my fair Spanish ladies...." ;)

Since it`s not legal to carry in Illinois, I would not think of breaking the law. :rolleyes: But, I may or may not have carried this one, an S&W 3" .44 Magnum

Or any of these.

S&W Model 15 .38 Special

Ruger New Model Vaquero .357 Magnum

Ruger Single Six .22 / .22 Magnum

And for sure when I go hiking with my wife, I never carry this.

S&W Airweight .38 Special

HJK that's a beauty, what caliber? No Polars here, just black bear:)
Those are some nice ones John. I love my Ruger's, that 4 5/8" single six is one of my favorites.
 
I`ve had that Single Six since around 1978, all my daughters learned to shoot with it, as did my grandson Jon. In a couple of years I`ll be teaching Hayley and Hanna, and a few years after that, Emily.
 
I have a 5 1/2" Bicentanial that all my kids learned to shoot with. Still my favorite after all these years.
 
As John indicated, until May we are a non-carry state.

However, if legal to do so, I would have either a .40 or .45acp auto-loader with me.

Since we also do not have big-game, I would not have to take the jumbo package with me

For those of us in IL, the woods is about the only place that we can carry a firearm.

When I get a holster and ammunition for it, I will carry my new Glock 17.

I don't carry anything different in the woods than I do on the street, but in SD the predators are the same in both places.;) Most of the time it's been my Browning Hi-Power, but a couple months ago I bought a Bersa BP9CC which has been added to the mix. It's very thin and even easier to CCW than the BHP. Recently I got a Beretta Nano and added the Trijicon sights to it. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but it handles like a dream. The trigger is excellent. If it proves reliable I'll be adding it to the rotation.

Luckily SD is a "Shall issue" state. I've had my permit to CCW since somewhere around '90.
 
Now that I have a CCW I always carry when in the woods. I still do not have a clear cut favorite and each of these gets time afield.

When hiking during big-game season this is my favorite.
 
It depends, just how big is this bear?
