There is no reason to carry a handgun, you are already armed with a rifle

1. The aforementioned ability to administer a coup de grace from close range without making a mess of things.
2. The ability to still be armed even if you have set your rifle aside while cleaning a kill, answering the call of nature, etc.
3. People like the chance to take big game with a handgun, but don't want to lose out on an animal that is outside of their comfort zone with the handgun. It's a way for people to progress into handgun only hunting.
4. Because I personally ENJOY strapping on a hog leg when out and about in the woods and that's reason enough as long as it's legal. An it IS legal here and most places.
