+2. I have hunted almost 30 years in Colorado and have yet to see a mountain lion. And I have covered LOTS of miles near and far from roads. Have seen a number of bears, but they have never bothered me. The main issue from them is food sources when camping and you won't have to worry about that.

So, while it helps to be prepared, you shouldn't lose any sleep over it. And if you are hunting in Novemeber, you will be carrying a gun. That is far and away better protection than any other. Fire a warning shot to scare them away if they are threatening you and 99% of the time, you won't have to fire another.

One more thing. Be sure there is no salt block out where you hunt. It is not legal to hunt over any kind of attractant, salt included.
