I've hunted with one for a number of years. They are good holsters for a number of reasons:
They stay out of the way
Quick retrieval of the weapon
More comfortable to tote on ling hauls in the woods
That being said, when I'm carrying a non-scoped pistol of barrel length in the 5-6" range, I prefer a cross draw holster.
For the baldoleer holster, make use of the holes at the bottom to attach the bottom to your belt or belt loop so that when you lean over the rug doesn't swing out away from your body.
