Barryt;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the day was a good one for you and that this finds you well.
Thanks for the additional information, I appreciate you taking the time.
Honestly I am at a loss to understand why people continue to believe that if they leave predators alone that the predator will leave them alone.
When I'm teaching the survival night in our BC Hunter Safety course I start by telling the class two things
First - luck favors the prepared.
Second - the mountain doesn't care if you die on it.
For sure and certain we don't know if a firearm would have helped or not, but I'd also suggest that without carrying anything, we'll never know either.
Anyway sir. thanks again and good luck on your upcoming hunts.
Dwayne
