Bowhunting Sidearm

[Drop Tine]

Springfield XDM in 10mm. Load depends where I’m at. In bear country it’s some heavy hard cast; Texas I usually have hollow points in it. “For snakes and such”

Sig p365, appendix carry, 15 round mag plus 1 in the chamber, 12 round mag in my pocket.

G20

[Preacher Man]

A G20 in a kenai chest holster loaded down with 220 gr hard cast solids should put you at ease……or you could borrow low fences’ unused nunchucks.

[Deadfall65]

Whenever I’m in an area that has wild Russian feral boar hogs in it I ALWAYS carry these 2 items

1. Nunchucks
2. A rape whistle

Luckily I’ve never had to use the nunchucks

Oh my that’s hilarious!

One big advantage with a revolver is that you can load a couple of cylinders with shot shells if you want.

I guess the hogs are just less vicious where I'm at, they tend to run away so I don't generally carry a pistol when hunting. Oddly enough it's about the only time I don't carry a pistol or other gun.

But I guess if you're real worried about pigs, I would buy something like a Glock 19, or a different gun that's about the size of a Glock 19 that you like better like an m&p or XDM, etc , and then you have a good carry gun so you can go take your CHL class, or not nowadays, I forgot we have constitutional carry, and then you can carry a gun for when you might actually need it. Good luck

I always carry. We don’t have hogs. We have 2 footed animals and a bear. Bears can be hell on feeders, lol. Thankfully, he likes the neighbors more than ours [emoji3]

Just curious, has anyone here actually been attacked by an unwounded hog unprovoked? I'm sure it has happened, but I know an awful lot of hunters, and I've never heard of it happening. Friend of a friend of a friend doesn't count.

Heck yeah!

One member had a friend that was being attacked by a Wild Russian boar hog. Almost made her dead… but luckily her dad taught her how to shoot under pressure and she made a 300 yard shot off hand… in the dark I believe and killed the mighty beast! But then she died… but then she lived again, so it all worked out

Unwounded? Never here.....


Wounded? ....yes. My Dad and I were chased buy a wounded pig.... and Fishndude has a good story or two. The heavy **** I have tracked in the past few years including some in the dark, I'm not going in alone (or with an army) looking for a hopefully dead pig without a pistol. A grunt or two and the sound of multiple footsteps is a little unnerving in the new moon dark..
