And looking for sheds, they were scanning the ground with total focus. You can’t let your guard down out there.

My wife likes to go hiking in Georgia State Parks. I had to buy her a Lady Smith revolver for protection. A small all-steel footprint 5 shot 357 magnum (or 38 variety). Rangers will tell you that Georgia bears don’t kill, but they have.

"Carry firearms when operating in lion country."
These days, all the world is "lion country." My motto is, "Don't leave home without it."

9mm 16+1, 16, 13, defensive ammo should do the trick. That, and the two legged predators in the same area. Up-arming for black bear, prolly start with about 5 rounds of Buffalo Bore hardcast, followed by the regular stuff.
