Your "Woods" guns?

[MountainBear]

In Alaska, it was a 4" Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag, loaded with 340 grain +P+ Buffalo Bore.

If it's a pistol somewhere else, it's probably a stainless S&W 1911 loaded with 230 grain ball.

But usually it's a rifle, and then it depends on what I'm feeling like.
1894 Marlin with good .357 ammo.
1895 Marlin with hard cast .45-70 loads. I had a great 336 Marlin that I built, but in a moment of business desperation, I let a customer talk me out of it. I'll be chasing that gun again forever.

But there's also the milsurp collection that likes to go out, there's the sporter milsurp or two I still have.
The 03a3 with the 19" barrel or the various mausers.

So many choices. Oh, then there's the .30-30 Savage 99 I'm rebuilding...

Too many choices.

It wood be kind of fun to walk and gawk with the Ruger PCC but it's kind of heavy.
Maybe the funness of it would require the Charger? Not enough stopping power? I could sling over my back one of the Ruger Ranch variants, maybe some .300BO or the 5.56. Those are rather lightweight. A little much for invading squirrel hordes.

I find myself carrying my 22/45 the most in the woods. I have had a few squirrels play Darwin on my hikes. Never really felt too worried to need anything bigger yet. If anything I usually have the 22/45 or the G19 on my body.

If I'm squirrel hunting, I'll have the 17 sling on my shoulder or out and ready.

Glock G20
At 50 feet it makes holes like this...
Good enough to hit the boiler room of whatever might need whackin' I reckon.

Woods Gun? That would be my trusty reliable 1940 Colt Woodsman I've been packing for the last 25 years.

Remember, it's the Indian. Don't smell like an Indian.






lol, not really

 

[No_Regerts]

Not much I can't solve with my regular carry guns and a 12 GA shotgun.

 

[Twodogs]

Been carrying a Glock 20-C for about 10 years, built this rifle for cat hunting .44 mag T/C encore 18" barrel aimpoint sight, It's light weight points fast and shoots a 240 gr bullet at around 1750 fps.

Sense every one is just putting guns that they really would not take hiking.
I will play the game.

 

[Boboclown]

Oh I'd most definitely hike with my AKs.

Everything else is too long.

Carried a 4" Mod 19 Smith for MANY years on 100s of miles hiked, backpacked & woods roamed - now replaced by a Mod 66.

Pretty sure the cops would be called the moment anyone sees a clown with a gun.

[EPS]

Lol let me set the record straight.
The chance of me getting up and driving to some trail head.
To go climb or hike up a trail with a bunch of GRANOLA EATING LIBRAL TREE HUGGING JAY INSLEEE SUPPORTING.
CLOWNS.
is slim to none .
I garantee I will win the lottery first.

 

[Twodogs]

I throw a lite rifle and a couple of coyote calls in my Eberlestock X2 pack no problem.

 

[Boboclown]

Trailing ain't hiking.

 

[EPS]

Trailing ain't hiking.

Welcome to the PACIFIC NORTH WEST.
drive your SUBARU to a parking lot at the bottom of a hill .
Walk up chewing on granola talking to a bunch of others . turn around and come back down.
LOL WELL IF YOU DON'T GET LOST.
then the state will send out 1000 people and helos .to find you.50 feet off the trail .
And not charge you but tax every one else in the state to pay for your rescue.
Lol they should make them write a check for 50.0000 dollars before they go out.
And if they get lost in the woods .
They can send a response team after the check clears.
Pack food for a few days.
