I want to go out into the Texas hill country to collect insects for personal study. My only option is to go alone because no one else I know is interested in this sort of thing. I'm worried about dangerous wild boars and mountain lions that are seen in this area. How can I protect myself from hostile wild animals without using a gun? Will a big stick be enough to scare them off? How big of a problem is this potentially? Should I even be worried?
