Actually, my biggest task when preparing for any hunt is: "what rifle and pistol should I take". I suspect that most on this forum, or any firearms forum has more than one rifle and one pistol. So on that issue, I usually change my mind about ten times before I go.
ML hunting, I always take my Jeager and a cap-gun for back-up, for super wet weather, but pairing it with a sidearm is hard for me. Should I take my lucky Remington New Model Army in Navy caliber? Should I take a .22 pistol? Which one...the AirLite or the High Standard? Maybe I should take grand-dads Luger. Or the Webley. The Webley does well on grouse with .45ACP shot loads. The 1862? The 1860? My Plains Pistol? Or the M95 Nagant? or....or....or.....???!!!
If I'm out during a modern season, with a friend or the son, and just looking for Cougar or Bear, it's worse. Should I take the 03A3? A Trapdoor? The Monkey Mauser?? Just stick with the Jeager? Pack the 1861 Springfield around and build up the biceps? Something in .30-30 flavor? Dang...haven't used the .44 Carbine for years and years....or...or....!!
THAT...is my trouble with packing.
