[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3116963, member: 35036"] I wanna be extremely clear that I am not gonna be going out looking for trouble or hunting bears while I'm out trying to catch some trout and hiking. I intend on giving them as wide of berth as possible, but I don't want to leave myself helpless when wandering around in some of the most beautiful countryside this nation has to offer. I view carrying a firearm in the woods similarly to carrying one when going to the store... I have it, I'm readily capable of using it efficiently, legally, and with sound mind and judgement; however I would prefer that I never have to use it. A better safe than sorry kind of deal. I do not have a dog now, as I travel. out of state 9 months out of the year for work and cannot give a dog the attention and care it would need. However, when I leave this job, a Heeler or Pit Bull puppy is at the top of my list to get, and will accompany me just about everywhere. Only issue is I can just about guarantee the dog can outrun me, which makes me the bait. lol. I kind of view carrying bear spray and a stick as the outdoors version of having a stun gun and pepper spray for home defense. It might do something, but I wouldn't put my money on it, let alone my life. Honestly for the price, it may be something I pick up regardless of my end use for the weapon. Especially when applying said discount.... I believe they still give one of those out a year to the GSSF members. [/QUOTE]
