I agee with Jim. I've felt more threatened by folks than critters. Of course we don't have big bears in abundance in our area, though there are a few black bears and coyotes. A few reports of cougars. And the folks come in many forms. One night a couple of young (15 years old or so) girls decided to swim in tiny suits in the pool I was fishing. Very very flirtatious. Not a pleasant evening. No fish either. A couple of hours of driving down the tubes.

I do not. The only real danger here in the California central valley is from the two-legged types and most folks frown on outright shooting them. However, when I went fishing in Alaska (near Fairbanks) two years ago, the friend of my sister who took me and who fishes all the time there says he always carries a pistol. I don't recall what caliber it was.
