Zerk , I do agree there is plenty of reasons to be armed in the woods and backcountry ,but typically the four legged critters are not the first type of coyote to come to mind
I had a sow with 3 cubs. Most likely ran off when I drove up. Not saying I had one 100% of the time, nor 100% of the time I leave the house. But I do believe in insurance.
There are some people with the tree hugger belief that there are never bear attacks. I have yet to shoot a person or bear with my handgun, atleast that I can admit too.
