Lots of bears around where I live. We see them 3 - 4 times a week easily not to mention feral hogs, coyotes and the occasional bobcat. Daytime they’re usually not a problem since we’re making noise and working around the house. We go for a walk in the evening after supper I always carry and if the grand kids are around and outside an adult is always out there carrying.
Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Where is that?
