[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2209866, member: 87243"] This is more accurate than it should be. My father in law carries a glock 21 in an alien gear chest holster when riding in the Arkansas mountains because of that, he actually had to draw down on a guy. He got way back in the woods on horseback where he had never been before, like a 3 hour ride back in, and a random guy stepped out from behind a tree in front of his horse and asked him what he was doing there, he said riding, what are you doing? The guy was in plain cloths, no backpacking gear, no rifle so he wasn't hunting, nothing. The guy bladed off to him and said what if I just take you off that horse? My father in law reached inside his jacket and pulled out his pistol and didn't say anything, just started backing his horse up, the guy turned and started walking away, and my father in law turned and rode out of that place as fast as he could. So ya, I personally in those mountains would hunt deer with a light carbine ar-15 with an lpvo optic and offset red dot, and at least one spare mag, and a glock 22 or 35 with a spare mag for backup. Unless there are some large fields or power line cuts, the opportunity for long range will likely be limited. Even then, there are some great bullet options for .223 that will take out white tail out to 300 yards without issue. [/QUOTE]
