>>921261There's some weird/archaic laws in the state about carrying a firearm on a sled. I'm also generally less worried about crime in the winter than I am in the summer months.
On the moto, yes, bears are a concern to me. I see them about once a month when I'm riding regularly, and I've had a mama grizzly with two cubs wander right behind my bike, close enough I could have kicked them. >Pic related, before I shoved my camera in my jacket and got ready to move if they even looked at me sideways
I've also ridden by a couple very recent meth/drug labs in the woods, so there's that human aspect that I'd like to avoid interaction with.
