Always a toss up for me for a "woods" gun....either the 3" GP100 or a 4" 686.

The 686 is more of a hunting gun for me...with adj sights I can try different loads as it suits me.

The GP100 really likes light bullets so it's not perfect for larger stuff.....but it's a long time companion and I shoot it very well, so never feel under-gunned carrying it hiking/camping etc.
