Good grief, they are so tough in Brown County that they EAT guns down there.

I still hold the Morgan County record for vertical leap after seeing my first Timber Rattler in Morgan-Monroe.
I shot one off my leg in '82 opening day of squirrel season. 47 1/2" long, 2 1/2" around. 10 rattles and a button. I still have the polaroid and piece of the boot where the Timber hit my leg. IF you broke my record you earned it. I couldn't jump over 20' backwards for the dung around my ankles.

Generally when Im in the woods, I'm either coyote hunting or plinking/camping with my Polish AKMS, and I always keep a spare mag loaded with 8m3 hollowpoints for hunting or SD.
Also, I generally have my tokarev in a leather flap holster. 7.62x25 Tok actually is a interesting little round and is pretty useful in the woods. Shoots flat out to like 50 yards, is pleasant to shoot even with hot new production ammo, and with proper shot placement is not the worst SD choice. Also, flap holsters are great for the woods because they are easy to get to, cheap, and if you fall down or something it keeps the crap out of your gun

With so much metal removed it handles nice!
Seems to me the definition of "woods gun" is relative. I had bought a glock 20 since 10mm is going to be my "woods" round, problem is I don't want to risk beating it up, so it's now a BBQ gun, which leaves me without a woods gun. I suppose my "go to" gun for te woods would actually be a ruger American rimfire or a Remington 550. This is a pretty funny discussion.

I don't think it is 1) possible for a Glock to ever be a BBQ gun or 2) beat up a Glock. I mean come on, its a Glock. What are you going to do make it uglier?

Dang Vert, LOL! Kinda stating the obvious. We know how cosmetically challenged Glocks are. Salt in the wound.

I am repping you Aaron580....I have never seen "Glock" and "BBQ Gun" in the same sentence before.....Did you maybe mean BBQ as in "The wife asked me to go pick up some Famous Dave's BBQ and I had my Glock on me?????"
I am still stumped with the premise of the OP's question....
This is INGO for Pete's sake...We have designated Zombie Apocolypse Guns, Watching "Band of Brothers/Saving Private Ryan" Guns, Watching "Dirty Harry" guns, Truck Guns, Farm Guns, Coyote Guns, Loaner to the nephew guns, Squirrel guns, Rabbit Guns, Bird Guns, Turkey Guns, Deer Guns, Daniel Boone flintlock guns, Jeremiah Johnson style Hawkens Rifles, CAS weapons etc....etc....And he is shocked that we have a designated gun for strolling through the woods hunting morels, ginseng, golden seal, etc....
We are nerds dude....And nerds like guns.....Period....

Now that I think about it shouldn't a "woods gun" be a .22lr?
I mean Smith & Wesson made a bunch of beautiful, gorgeous "kit guns" with this premise in mind. I think a "woods gun", if a pistol, is a .22.

Dang lawyers always spouting precedent. I think a "woods gun" is any gun, the purchase of which, you are trying to justify.

Ok, shut down INGO for the day, Birds just won post of the day. Roll it up and put it away, Fenway.

You mean there was one bred large enough for him to ride? I thought he just huffed and puffed chasing kids that were drunk?
The more classifications we come up with helps throw the wife's off our trail. My wife refers to one of my higher capacity pistols as my "Indy gun". I typically carry a single stack daily. But the few times a year I go to Indy I typically carry something in the neighborhood of 17+1 9mm and a reload or two.

I fish at a lake that is way out in the middle of nowhere, and I always carry my Super Redhawk Alaskan, I guess it's my "fishing gun", so yeah, I've finally justified buying it.
Woods gun, zombie gun, HD gun, cc gun, surf (different than zombie gun), dress clothes gun.... whatever it takes to justify a purchase. A woods gun in my eyes is reliable, and can be beaten up a bit. Even if I don't wander around the woods regularly, I like to have one handy if I need one!
