If you guys are scared of running into bears and wolves while bowhunting, maybe then you shouldn't hunt with a bow but maybe stick to guns? I just see it as a bit odd wanting to carry a gun while hunting with a weapon that is supposed to be primitive. In my view you shouldn't be able to have it both ways. Plus the odds are better that you will get killed in a car accident going to your hunting spot than you ever might run into a man eating bear or wolf!
