[QUOTE="dls guide, post: 1918029, member: 3496"] I have no clue who or where you are going on your hunt with, but I see no need to pack a pistol to hunting camp. You will have a rifle and probably bear spray , so no need for the extra weight of a handgun and ammo. The fact that Hunters already pack so much gear with them in a pack and saddle bags , the extra weight is not needed or wanted. Most of the time you can get to the rifle quicker than the pistol anyway and can hit better with it. My bear gun when I was guiding was a Marlin guide gun in 45-70 with peep sights. I did not want or need a pistol. In camp I Always had My 12 ga riot gun by my bunk. Also If your outfitter is good , he will have his camp surrounded by electric fence to keep the bears from coming in at night. The only time I would pack a pistol is if I was bow hunting by myself and then I would want a 44 mag or bigger. This is all been there done that from experience. [/QUOTE]
