How many of you archery hunters carry a pistol?

I've been archery hunting this season primarily at dusk which often has me walking through a pitch black forest back to my car after the hunt is over. Other than hearing coyotes howel close to me there hasn't really been a threat to me out there. But goddamn is it spooky being alone in a pitch black forest trying to navigate back to my car using the OnX app. I'm going to start carrying a .40 pistol with a light attached just to make me feel better. I was curious if anyone else carrys a handgun or has had a reason to draw it on a threat?
