Not in my experience, Erik. The trade-off in weight of food not carried is more than offset by the weight of a firearm (or fishing gear, for that matter) and additional needed equipment and fuel for preparing and cooking game. Not to mention the real possibility of coming up empty on the hunt...
I didn't run. I did log off and go about my life in the real world about an hour after I posted it and there'd been no reply :).
I stand by my point...there is virtually no reason to take a gun into the back country to protect yourself from wild animals, aside from Jay's thoughtful approach...
I'm not gonna get within 10 feet of the gun ownership arguments here...but I have to lol at y'all whenever the "not gonna catch me out in the wilderness without a gun, what with all those bears and coyotes and wolves and cougars and..." point gets raised.
:lol:
