[QUOTE="Talyn, post: 1836911, member: 22901"] That's up to you, but for those of us that actually live out here (me 18 yrs in ID and 10+ in MT) and have seen how effective the stuff has been in encounters then that's up to you. Like I said Tex Creek is a low risk area being just east of a decent-sized city, and the Tex Creek WMA is primarily winter range. So your chances of encountering a griz there are low, but if you plan on returning and going into any back country your risk will go up. Plus if you talk to any IDFG wildife bio or fed bio (I'm a retired Fed wildlife bio) they will give you the same advice if you plan on going into griz country.
