Mention guns and your going to get 20 pages and then the admins locked it. I must be lucky, the only encounter that I've ever had was with a chipmunk coming to visit. I don't even havw a dog. Guess we are lucky out here in the west, lots of nice people, and few of the not so nice dont bother to come way out into the wilderness to cause disruption. We do carry bear spray if we are going to bear country.
Lot's of nice people around NC, TN, VA and WV, but had a close encounter with a Bear once and scared the heck out of him when I fired my gun in the ground to get him away from our camp, was WAYYY too close...I preferred that over Bear Spray after being told by a DNR officer, a warning shot will usually send them running ...mixed reports on Bear Spray from the DNR officer..
Those who go way out into the wilderness/woods could also be moon shiners or making meth or growing wacky weed...it's there for the research..so the bad guys could be "way out there" also...maybe even hiding from the law...
