Sounds stupid..but I always keep an eye out. not much pot growing around here..but ya never know what or who you will come up on out there. I am always armed when out on the prairie or in the mountains.

BTW..had a young guy from Texas call me today..he lives here now for at least a couple years. He said he thinks he needs a gun for protection in the mountains. He is horn hunting and has run up on 3 grizz in the last week..close range grizz. He wanted a 38/357. I asked him if first..he had a death wish horn hunting unarmed..and a second death wish for wanting a 38/357. He asked if he should get a 44 mag..and I said that was somewhat better..but what he really needed was an 8 or 9 shot short bbld shotgun with slugs..NO buckshot. Personally..I'd rather have a 15 shooter shotgun loaded that way. He said he was within 20 yds of one. He turned and walked away from the grizzly. Usually a bad thing to do..
