I usually do not carry a back up when I am tracking deer. I know they are dead because I shot them. We do not have any predators around here that will attack man under normal circumstances.
....thing is, in the OP's case, because he does not want to scratch his rifle in the thick brush, the second he leaves it behind, his back-up is no longer a back-up, but his primary weapon. I think this is where he's going with this.....
