[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2216588, member: 118769"] Amen. I also have trained for a handful of ironman triathlons and ultramarathons by running trails (mostly solo), and have hunted deer, elk, bear, and moose alone in the backcountry. I and a buddy had a close call with a cow moose and her calf just last weekend. I've had to warn off a pair of mountain-lion siblings who started to approach me while I was hunting solo. WeekendWarrior's recommendations are spot on. The scariest thing? Idiots shooting at/near camp at trailheads, and careless hunters shooting towards me regardless of my hunter orange. I haven't figured out how to deal with that yet, except to enter and exit the forest away from trailheads, and to hunt the backcountry where hunters tend to be of a more serious and cautious mind. You can't get more than six miles away from a road in the lower 48. Worry more about getting shot than getting lost. [/QUOTE]
