To some extent it may also depend where you hunt.
We hunt in the Umatilla National Forest in the southeastern corner of WA close to the Oregon border. There are two recognized wolf packs in the Wenaha Wilderness area, and a recent article was noting the failure of the elk herd to recover due to over-predation since the hunting of cougars with dogs and the Spring bear hunts were outlawed.
One of my hunting partners was climbing out of the Wenaha and was followed by at least 3 wolves...they remained at least 50 yards behind him, but followed him for more than an hour.
Some states have issues that other states do not have.
Whatever handgun you choose to carry, remember it may not only be used for deer.
