Only thing I ever think about is Bears...I have had 3 encounters with them.
1st one was 5 of us hiking in to were we had palned to hunt and the 5 of us stummbled on a sow on the ground and a cub up a tree..could have gotten ugly but didn't
2nd time I was still hunting for deer hunting in Maine and had a bear pass on my left in very thick cover..wind was right and that bear walked right by me..first thing I heard was it's breathing..Talk about your butt getting tight!
Last time & I hope it is the last >> I lived in VA and went out in the dark to put the garbage out..(cause my better half told me)..I reached for the lid and realized it was not on the plastic can? Thats weird I thought...then I realized as my eyes adjusted there was a black bear sitting on it's butt looking at me...it was sitting on the other side of the plastic can! We both scared the crap out each other..I could'nt get to the door fast enough..A couple of weeks later they trapped that bear and relocated it ...it was in the neighborhood everyday.
