If I had yotes that close and wanting to trail my butt the first thing my headlamp would be trying to fing would be a nice size stick suitable for swingin', clubbin', stickin' and stabbin'. Though not necessarily in that order.

But I have to tell ya I wouldn't hesitate to pop one with a hand club. I punched a dog one time that came after me and busted him real good right in the nose and upper front jaw - straight on. It was obvious it was something he had never experienced or expected before the way he left faster than he came.
