I like to think my momma raised her youngest son to be smart enough to carry backup when around animals bigger than I am. I grew up with animals on our farm and even the nice and "tame" ones could and sometimes did turn on ya if spooked, had young, or in the case of a couple of bulls, just went nuts. I carry 44 mag or 45 colt most of the time I'm out and about here in Montana. Don't matter if I'm hunting or just on a walk about, even working at the cabin one goes with me when I leave the porch.
