its rather foolish to go anyplace where your potentially at risk without being fully equipped to defend yourself
its not being paranoid to at least carry a weapon of some type, while out in the great outdoors

youve got options, bear spray works,....

when its your survival thats at stake its up to YOU to be prepared to deal with the threat you usually carry a spare tire and a jack on the road,don,t you? "because theres a low level threat of a flat tire," well in the wild you need to remain observant and deal with animals occasionally, so you need to deal with that low level threat, and just like the spare tire it can go for decades without being used ,but if you need it "you need it badly ,right now!"

Have I got a story for you guys!

King season is over, and since I had a

day off before silvers start, I
Thought I would go for a walk! This
occurred at 11:16 am this morning
(Sunday), just 2/10 of a mile from
my house, ON OUR ROAD while walking
My dogs (trying to get in shape
for hunting season, ironically!) for the
Record, this is in a
residential area-not back in the woods,
no
Bow hunting, no stealth
occurring...

I heard a twig snap, and looked back...full on
charge-a huge brownie,
Ears back, head low and motorin' full speed!
Came with zero warning; no
Woof, no popping of the teeth, no standing
up, nothing like what you
Think or see on TV! It charged from less
than 20 yards and was on me in
About one-second! Totally surreal-I
just started shooting in the general
Direction, and praise God that
my second shot (or was it my third?)
Rolled him at 5 feet and he
skidded to a stop 10 feet BEYOND where I was
Shooting from-I actually
sidestepped him and fell over backwards on the
Last shot, and his
momentum carried him to a stop past where I fired my
First shot!

It was a prehistoric old boar-no teeth, no fat-weighed
between 900-1000
Lbs and took five men to DRAG it onto a tilt-bed
trailer! Big bear-its
Paw measured out at about a 9 1/2 footer!

Never-ever-thought "it" would happen to me! It’s always
some other smuck, Right?
Well, no bull- I am still high on adrenaline,
with my gut in a Knot. Feels like I did 10000 crunches
without stopping! Almost puked for
An hour after, had the burps and
couldn't even stand up as the troopers
Conducted their investigation!
Totally wiped me out-cant even put that
Feeling into words, by far
the most emotion I have ever felt at once!

No doubt that God was
with me, as I brought my Ruger .454 Casull (and
Some "hot" 350 grain
solids) just for the heck of it, and managed to
Draw and snap shoot
(pointed, never even aimed!) from the hip! Total
Luck shot!

All I can say is Praise God for my safety and for choosing
to leave the Wife and kids at home on this walk!
Got a charter tomorrow, so gonna TRY
To get some sleep now!

Talk to ya soon,
