Best backup guns for hunters.
Should hunters carry backup guns? We think so, and recommend it. Backups serve many purposes. Besides, it’s just common sense to have a Plan B when you’re out in the wilderness.
Given you should carry a backup on a hunt, it begs the question which guns are best for this mission?
We took a long hard look at the myriad guns on the market and narrowed the list to a few, awesome choices. Keep in mind, we’re not here to flog a particular brand. We just want to give you our recommendations as to what type guns to consider for your backup. The final choice is up to you. It is, after all, your hide, not ours, on the line out there.
We divided our backup handguns list into two distinct categories: guns for those in bear country and those who are not. A hunter’s needs in each situation are unique with little overlap.
While our list may aggravate some fan boys out there because we passed over their pet gun, we believe any hunter will find our choices sound and worth their consideration.
