Is there any normal activities they/(you guys) undertake without the need for firearms to be involved

 

[richo966]

pay dirt if you lived there with bears and mountain lions I bet you would have more than hand gun or are you as tuff as chuck Norris

 

[Paydirt]

Bahahahaha, so you seriously think its for bears and mountain lions when they come over to check all the NOISY action with a few humans hanging around. So does every backcountry hiker take a firearm with them?

 

[Bazz]

I'm always on the lookout for drop bears and mountain wombats

 

[kawman]

In Australia we are very lucky that there are not many things that will eat you when you are out in the bush. So if you think wild animals are going to be scared of you just because you have a water pump running and making a little bit noise then you could be in for a surprise. I talk from experience as I grew up in Africa where a firearm is essential kit if you heading into the bush so i kind of know what i am talking about. but when a wombat that raids esky at night is nothing compared to a bear of lion comes calling because it will bite you f*&^ing face off and wont care how much noise you make because you are meat and its hungry its that simple!!!

I diunno the Bush Tucker Man always had his .44mag on his hip wandering around in the Mangrove areas, probably for good reason. I would not want to be Bear food.

I never go prospecting now without a toothbrush in my crevising kit.

I am on a few American/Canadian prospecting forums, and i assure you bears and mountain lions are a real threat for some over there.
Personally after the size of some of the leeches i have seen, if we were able i might think about packing while out panning

 

[richo966]

what calibre for leaches 303 or 45 :lol:

 

[Tathradj]

12 gauge,
Up close and personal. LOL
