I understand a lot of places don't allow you to carry, so if you hunt in one of those areas, no need to post, "I wouldn't, it's illegal." We get that.

But for those who CAN carry, what do you carry? I got the Elknut Play Book and was reading it and it looks like he carries a .357. I am wanting to do my first CO elk hunt this year, and I am in the market for a large cal. revolver anyone, so I wanted to see what everyone carries.

If you vote on the poll, tell us what gun it is too. :tongue:

 

[05allegiance]

.45

 

[HighCountry46]

Taurus model 66 4in bbl in 44spl. loaded with corbons.

 

[Broken nock]

Can't vote. Then it would say I carry when it's illegal in Washington. They won't even concider a Concealed Pistol Permit to be leagal.

 

[JG358]

45 colt or 45 acp for me

 

[bowmanhunter]

.45 for me too.:wink:

 

[YooperKenny]

Ruger Blackhawk .357 mag is what I carry here

For a backpacking hunt I would probably bring my Buckmark 22 as a "survival" weapon to take small game along with pepper spray for bear protection.

 

[DaJester]

.45ACP

or

 

[hoyt bowhunting]

Its not legal to carry here while bowhunting so i carry a .38 special everywhere and then take it off to go bowhunting. Wow that is stupid law.

45. because if you hit some crazy pot grower in the woods things will go black for him REAL Fast

 

[builditall]

Mostly my .357 Blackhawk goes with me. There are times when I want to lose some weight and take my 9mm Hi-Power.

Now Sean, you know the game commission frowns upon such action.:nono::nono:

 

[rsarns]

.357 and Washington is or might change to allow us to carry this year

 

[SteveID]

After having an Uncle get stalked by 2 cougars and numerous run ins with bears, I won't go without a pistol. And from experience, I can tell you that a .357 is not enough for black bears. A .41 mag would work, I won't be without a .44 mag.

 

[jkoperski11]

taurus .357 utlra light

 

[Nuge60]

I carry my Ruger SP 101 .357 with a Crimson Trace laser grip. Here in Indiana I'm more concerned with two-legged morons rather than large predators. I'd carry a .44 Mag for the larger four legged predators.:wink:

 

[creasey]

.22

 

[coelkbowhunter]

handguns

I pack a 40 S&W and a Ruger redhawk 41 mag.Was packing a 45 in my truck till some lowlife ripped it off out of my truck.

 

[Nimhates]

.45 Glock with +P ammo (makes it essentially a .45Mag) VERY effective if you need it on most any target. Not sure I would consider it a great gun or caliber for Grizzly, but then, what hand gun (that is a side arm vs. primary) is?

 

[Shinsou]

.50 Desert Eagle (when I get one) :wink:

-or-

.454 Casull
