My post was, as you realize, rather facetious. Over the years I�ve considered the chances of me personally running into a bear or lion. I�ve been living in Colorado since 1980 and have yet to see a bear at any time, let a lone while hunting. The only lion I�ve seen was crossing the road a mile from my house and 5 hours away from where I generally hunt. Go figure!

Also, I generally am in the company of a hunting buddy who also has a rifle. If I�m going to pack an extra 3-4 pounds, its going to be more water!
