Of course, a rifle would end that shit - but the park rangers probably wouldn't be too friendly!!

Well like I said we go to swamps that aren't state park property, there aren't that many bears in the swamps anyway.
Small bears will stay away from the wolf urine and bears that have cubs will usually stay away from it as well.
When you're in a swamp the only thing you really have to worry about is alligators and snakes, all you have to do is keep away from a snake and he'll leave you alone eventually. Alligators usually just hang around water and if we run into one we just stop,back off ridiculously slow and after you've gotten a safe distance you can just turn around and walk away.
And of course if and only if all else fails we've got the rifles. |
