Hiking Hunting

best handgun for pd for camping and backcountry hiking/hunting.?

What would be the best handgun for what i listed above. I would rather have the take down power in a .45 rather then accuracy in a 9. Ive looked around but dont know what i want.

I’ll kind of echo what bear crap said. 9′s and 45′s are fine for home defense, but I feel undergunned out camping with them. It’s the subject of much debate, but personally, I don’t think the .45 offers much, if any, more stopping power than a 9.

In fact, I sold my main .45 in favor of a Super Blackhawk 44 mag, for camping. I now have a 9mm for home defense and the 44 mag for out camping, which I do one a month, rain or shine. I retain another .45 but it’s a collector and a safe queen and don’t foresee the need to use for anything more than a backup.

After owning .45′s for 20 years and holding the opinion that they are the ultimate in human defense, I’ve come down to the opinion, recently, that they’re unlikly to be any better than a 9. Bring on the thumbs down.

Trophy Elk Hunting – How To Overcome The Challenges

Because the trophy elk is such a challenging target for any hunter, it is often the journey just as much as the prize that keeps a hunter returning year after year. When fall season comes around, trophy elk guides find themselves booked for eager hunters itching to get out into the field. Hunting trophy elk requires much dedication on the part of the hunter. The elk are often found in the deepest parts of the wilds and a hunter must hike into rough terrain for hours on end. Trophy elk hunting is certainly not for the faint of heart, but it does offer a huge payoff to the successful hunter.

Many outfitters are available offering trophy elk hunting guides to make all of the hunter’s dreams come true. Since elk can be one of the most difficult creatures to locate and bring down, elk hunters often enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the cool pre-dawn air and the rocky terrain beneath their boots. Finally the adrenaline rush of a herd spotted often makes the hunter’s journey priceless. It is often the case that an outfitter will not guarantee a kill, so a hunter should enjoy his time there regardless of bringing home a trophy or not, because chances are that he won’t get his money back. A quality guide can be well worth their money though, because they know where the elk are. They also know the local terrain and vegetation and habits of the animals.

The hunter also has the option of preserve hunting, which is the hunting of protected land where trophy elk are raised. While this certainly may not offer quite the challenge as trophy elk in the wild, chances are higher for a hunter to come home with a prize to mount. Some hunters however, feel like this is a sham; they don’t consider it a real hunt. For some though, it is just the right option for them. Many hunters don’t have the time or money to put into a guided hunt into the wild; preserve hunting caters to that hunter. He can go for just a Day Trip and come home with a trophy, and often at a much lower cost than if he were to hire a guide.

Whichever option is right for the hunter, he is sure to have one of the best times of his life hunting for trophy elk. There are any number of states and locations to choose from, and the hunter can really customize the trip to just his needs or preferences.
