Ages ago, I hunted a large ranch and preserve

in Florida that had many of the animals you describe. The guide carried a SW 44 magnum on his side at all times for the lack of a better term. I believe he used Norma factory ammo for his daily use.

As far as a rifle I can't seem to recall anything than a 22 lr in the well of the gun case on the swamp buggy.

For me, it would be my Reederized Redhawk on the side at all times and a Ruger bolt action scout rifle in 308 for clients who mess up shots.
