Most hiking, hunting, or fishing that I do occurs on our own place so a handy .38 Special or .32-20 revolver on the belt is suitable.
 
Other than occasional photography sessions in the Cleveland Metroparks, the only time I'm in the woods is during my rare deer hunting trips to Catawissa, Missouri. I carry my 6" 29-2 as a backup gun to the .30-06 Savage 112BVSS I use. I carry in a Hunter holster with a quick belt release and a safety strap.

Now that I'm making my own holsters, I'll probably make a better holster for myself.
 
Sometimes...

I sometimes wear this'n...
Anywhere from ridin' the River, crusin' the piny woods or packin' in the back country...

So do any of you who actually carry regularly in the woods prefer hip carry over shoulder holster?
 
Great, didn't see that link to view results. Though I had to participate first and since I didn't know, didn't want to skew the results.

Do you think it would be different if the poll was how you carry a revolver (which may poll differently than a pistol)?
 
There ain't nobody around in these woods to care one way or the other how someone is carrying their weapon. I carry open, with speed loaders. I use a holster that is closed on the bottom to keep the crap out of the muzzle.
Peace,
gordon
