I see your bear spray and raise you a shotgun. I’m in Alberta, we have it all up here, dangerous. Go hiking armed heh.
I hike with a pistol sometimes-the shotgun is too cumbersome and heavy to hike with-when I’ve seen fresh feral hog tracks on a trail recently-I am far more afraid of them than I am of the mountain lion-they are not reclusive and solitary like that big cat is, many weigh upwards of 300-400 pounds, they have tusks that are several inches long, they travel in packs, are not afraid of anything at all, and are known to attack humans.
There are bears where you are-big bears-I’d be terrified of them, too...
