For those who spend time in the great outdoors, and who also carry. How many of you consider tactics and strategies for defending yourself and those who you are with against the possibility of an animal attack for the location that you are in?
I love how people always first jump to thinking about bears.... but recently someone here in Texas was attacked and killed by a wild hog on their property. Last year someone was Severely injured by a gator on their property. So it’s not always bears. I don’t know how accurate this is, but from the article I read about the woman killed by the hog, is that she normally has a handgun she carried, but that day she wasn’t. Therefor we have no idea if she had her gun with her, if it would have prevented or stopped the attack.
Is SD against animals a concern for anyone else?
