I always carry my Single Six.
I also sling my single shot 12 gauge over my back when I'm beaver trapping in early winter. I'll take every bonus partridge I can get!

I carry a 220 swift in my truck when running traps and a 22 just in case I need it, I use a hammer to dispatch evey thing except skunks.

I don't have a need for one. guess you haven't ever come across a sickly or rabid coon or some other unforeseen reason to have a gun handy? Not that I use it much for dispatching but I got it if I need it.

I go nowhere without a gun. FOR the trapline for dispatch (when necessary), I carry a cheap .22 revolver on my side.
ON the trapline my conceal carry gun needs to be very light and compact due to all the other things I know I need to carry. I usually carry my KelTec P3AT (.380) with a Totally Fragmenting Soft Point load. When I am traveling a little lighter I carry at least an 11 shot 9mm KelTec P11 with the same type loads. You never know when you are going to stumble onto a Meth lab, or who knows what. Not everyone is in the woods for honorable reasons.
My philosophy on carrying a gun is you never know when you are going to need it. If I woke up one morning, and thought, "I think I might need a gun today"; I would climb right back in bed. So, I get up, pick which socks and gun I want to wear, get dressed and have at it.

Several, a 22-250 is ALWAYS in the truck a 22 semi-auto is on the front seat just in case too. I have my Ruger MKII with me almost all the time and an old single shot for dispatch

My regular trapline gun is a S&W model 34 J frame 4 inch 22. When I am trapping just beavers it it a S&W stainless 4 inch 32 H&R mag. A quality sidearm should always be handy. These are carried in a Bianchi Hi-Ride with a thumb break.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Most folks, even those who are licensed to, don't carry all the time because "It is uncomfortable and inconvenient". Funny, because that is exactly what being shot is. Come see me tailgating at the the FTA. I just might be able to make it so comfortable and convenient that you will never be without again.
