Hear a pack of wolves howl from close by while you're walking down a stretch of country road at night, or see a 500 lb blackbear outside your cabin poking around, or while camping wake up at 3 am to the lovely musical sound of a mountain lion growling in the near vicinity and you'd change your tune pretty quick. Assuming you survive.

And at any of those moments or any like them, there's a chance you might piss yourself, but trust me, you *will* wish you had a gun.
