ofc, ofc.

Hm.  If this is your Plan B while hunting, I'm guessing you're going with some kind of long-gun (rifle or shotgun; not sure what you're hunting, or whether the critter in question co-habitates areas with bears.)

Like I said before, whatever you wind up going with, you're gonna want to practice drawing, and a lot.  Personally, I'd see if I could find an old mattress or something that I can drop my long-gun on, while I draw the revolver.

Drop long-gun, draw.  Reholster, pick up long-gun, rinse and repeat.  (I'm a fan of simulation training; I do something similar with my martial arts group with practice knives.  You could probably even practice with a blank that you cut out of a 2 x 4 or something.)

If you shoot with your long-gun on a sling, it changes things slightly, but I'd still encourage lots of practice drawing the revolver.  Muscle memory ftw.
