I don't live in the city or even close to a big one. I carry one in my pack when I trout fish during the summer too. I understand that the probability of something happening is very slim but like I say I have had two encounters. Another issue that we have are porcupines. I have arrived at the top of a stand more then a few time where one has been sitting on my foot rest.

Never found a need to pack anything besides my bow.

not for me - but we are starting to see more and more cougars, beer and other larger predators in Missouri so who knows in the future.

I use to worry about the crazy folks but I figured out that other than gun season, the only time that they hunt is at night. :D

My 2propane tanks were stolen off my RV by Meth thieves. I have been told towatch out by neighbors who have come across them on their property. I am in Illinois and guess what my answer is!

I have my permit to carry, so its normal for me to have it with me. After you have it for so long its just second nature to have it on you like your wallet.

Having it to defend myself in the woods from killer squirrels isn't what I carry it for. I hope I never have to pull it out to use, but better to have and need it than not to have and need it.

I am in VA where its allowed with a permit, if no permit you can open carry during regular gun season. I know when hunting on the Eastern Shore for Sieka deer on Assateague Island they required you to open carry even if you had a permit.
