Dogs are far and away the #1 reason I carry in the woods. We got black bears and panthers, not too worried. Not even sure there's ever been a recorded attack in my county. Oddly, I've never seen a coyote, but hear them in the distance every time I camp. Never imagined they would jump a human.

Dogs OTHO? There was a pit bouncing around my front porch the other night. I have a giant dog door for the pig, so I jumped back inside and grabbed the single-shot shotty over the door. Turns out he was just a dumb puppy running around with a young couple and their kids. I cannot describe my relief.
