Hopefully you appreciate that place - has to be one of the most beautiful areas on the planet.

I’m not against protecting self and loved ones. However, there has to be at least a few places where natural actions and reactions by wildlife aren’t punished with instant death.

If people cannot abide by that, they should stay away from the protected areas set up for protecting and PRESERVING them.

This isn’t “anti-gun”, “anti-self protection” or “anti-hunting” - it’s just basic conservation and appreciation.

I’ve been six times so far.

I get way out back.

I’ve been rushed by black bear in WA.

I’m taking reasonable self defense precautions.
