[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1062608, member: 1742"] Reminds me when I've been a little jumpy when solo backpack hunting back in designated wilderness areas dressing out a muley after dark in known griz and black bear and wolf country with a long range rig a couple of steps away. Not a very good weapon for in close at night... Every few minutes I'd put the headlamp on 'hi-beam' and scan the area occasionally seeing eyes staring back at me. From best I could tell, it was more deer coming to the alpine meadow to feed only to realize that they didn't want to be there because I was there. By the time I was done boning out the deer, there were no more eyes around. Still a little spooky... Would've felt better with something on my hip, but, for that hunt especially, ever ounce is scrutinized and there's no way I'm added 3lbs plus to the load on my back. [/QUOTE]
