Generally yes, but it depends on the location. Some places where I hunt on public land are pretty remote and there is the possibility of a car jacking or robbery at a trailhead. It doesn't happen often, but it has. My G19 or G29 are small and light enough for easy carry, and would be a better option than a bolt rifle in a parking lot with multiple attackers. Technically hunting firearms are supposed to be unloaded 50 yards before reaching a road or parking lot anyway.
Other places are so rugged that I'm looking to reduce the load I'm carrying by every ounce possible. Sometimes I just take my chances and leave the handgun in the truck.
