I don't know how you guys walk into the woods at night in bear county....it's taking me a while to get used to walking in the woods where there are no predators....I can't imagine having to worry about bears. Even if you were packing most bear attacks happen so fast people don't even get shots off.
Anyway...thanks again for you all making me feel a little better with your stories...I'm off to conquer the big bad woods of Illinois...
