I'd like to know more of what you are experiencing out there. I'm in Central PA. If you are looking for help e-mail me at enbergm@msn.com. We can talk it over and at the least maybe I can give you some advise on ballistics that you don't usually hear about. If something is happening that makes you uncomfortable to be out there alone then listen to your instincts. This is not always the fun and fuzzy weekend diversion that some people make it out to be. A half-ton of irritated animal will make you dead very fast. Be careful.
