How many of you carry a pistol while hunting? If so, belt clip or something diff? What kind of shot?

I was thinking about carrying my 40 cal with a rat shot for snakes. Rattlers are abundant on our mountain.

I just carry a couple dove loads to pop in when I come across a snake. No need for the extra firearm

I feel better in any situation I have ever been in with my turkey gun in hand. There is not an animal or human that a turkey load will not handle anywhere I will be hunting. I had rather have it was my .40 or deer rifle for sure. Hunting on a panther preserve in FL made me second guess that though smile

Anybody ever tried to kill a turkey with a pistol? I'm thinking with TSS a man could do it pretty easy at 20 yards or so.

I would think a pistol would be cumbersome. I'm going to start carrying a dove shell to finish a turkey off if necessary or pesky snakes as required. grin

There was a guy several years ago that had permission to hunt some of the same land I did. He wounded a bird and decided to finish it off with his pistol, but somehow during the struggle he managed to shoot himself through the hand. I imagine it would have been a youtube quality video lol.

Either PCP or B'ham Fred posted a pic where there had shot one with revolver.

head shot with a 255gr lead bullit....

I really want to shoot one with a 40cal muzzleloader(rifle) to the head....may just have to go to Ga where it's legal.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Yeah I know a guy that hunts them with a .357. I was thinking more along the lines of one of those long barreled single shot .410's like a TC Contender.

That would be fun. I'm trying to kill one with a 410 this year.
