Watch out! Boys got robbed in the IV

Excellent advice. I spend a lot of time in the boonies hunting and fishing and I have always 1000% of the time been armed. A 357 mag or 44 mag on my hip for both 4 legged and 2 legged creatures. Occasionally I also have a small concealed backup piece. Carrying in the boonies has saved my a$$ a few times. One time actually had to fire it. One time my short barreled mossberg 12 gauge sent a couple tweakers on their way. The key is always be aware of your surroundings, stay alert and be vigilant. Distrust of strangers is a good thing.
A lesson which was hammered into me in the Marines is one I still follow to this day: If I am in the field with a weapon, that weapon stays with me 100% of the time. A friend had his shotgun stolen when he set it down to take a field dump. He rested it against his pack and went behind some trees to do his business. Came back to his pack and his shotgun was gone.

O damn. Talk about getting caught with your pants down.

Shit happens.
 
Stealing the thread but I was hunting dove and my buddy had his shotgun while taking a Deuce he shot one with his pants around his ankles.
thieves suck and we make it way to easy to be a thieve in Ca.
Fwiw, last month when I was dove hunting, I got one while I was sitting in my chair eating my lunch. Bird landed in a bush about 10' away. BOOM
