if you are a hand gunner you will always be hunting. Even if its concealed at the Mini-mart. No, the "ready" for it when you didn't realize you needed to be. Moose prime example, rifle against tree get 5 gal bucket from truck head to creek to get water to boil and ready for dinner and a early night after 9 days of not seeing a bull moose. water bucket half full, bull steps out onto trail 500yds from camp. looking and moving, 44mag raises to the occasion and a SHIDTT moment is avoided when I kill the objective of my desire instead of lamenting as to why I didn't bring my rifle with me... because I didn't have to, I had the perfect tool for the situation on my hip!
