>>1294886>work on the eastern coast, often innawoods for 12 days at a time>see moose all the time in spring, summer, fall>black bears too, mostly in late summer>been withing 100 meters of black bears, including mother and cub>not one thing has happened to me, because I mind my own shit and keep to my jobIf you really want a gun, anon, you'd not be retarded in getting one, I'd probably say a .44 magnum would do you good, but really, with wildlife unless you're retarded you're not in as much danger as you think. Just wear your bug spray, hang your food up somewhere out of reach and away-ish from you, and don't make your shelter where you see tracks/runs and droppings. Also, it might help that when I work there's almost always at least one to nine other guys with me.
