We lots of critters where I live (creek by the house), and I don't mind the Coyotes, Deer, Raccoons, Owls, Bats and other stuff here.
But when I go to dark places, then Mr. Smith and Wesson, Colt, or Ruger keep me company. Cougars and Bears I don't mind, its the the two legged kind 50 miles from no where that concern me. View with a buddy or two, but its legal to be armed in forests in this state and I am:)
