the only encounter ive ever had with one was a couple of years ago me and some buddies were out campin out for the last day of school. We had a campfire goin and it must of had rabbies or somethin cuz the darn thing attacked us AROUND THE FIRE i couldnt believe it so we grabbed some sticks that were in the fire and scared it off, thank god no one got hurt or anything but it was a scary encounter....so yea i believe that theyll attack
