Thanks for all the replies! Its nice to know im not the only one who feels a little timid when going into the woods. Bucksecrets helped out alot because of the few times i have seen bear they have been in almost same situations all resulted in th e bear bolting! Believe it or not what Gryan sd helped too even if it was meant for a 10 year old. animals pretty much avoid you as much as possible in the day so why should the dark be any diffrent. Thanks to all for the help!
