So the Mrs. was always pretty much anti-kill-anything, (like alot of women) until a coyote took the neighbors dog last summer. Both families were either still outside or had just come inside which made it alittle more of a concern, it wasn't like at 5:00am or something. Neighbor saw it happen. So my wifes family has a property in the mountains of NY and Bears are now quite common. Saw my first Bear scat on a trail maybe 500 yards behind the house last weekend. Carrying a pistol is impossible legally with my being a MA resident. Rifle/shotgun might be legal to hike with sometimes but may flip out alot of other people. Bears are becoming an issue in the Boston MA suburbs but does not seem as risky as walking into one on a hiking trail in the mountains (might just be my own comfort level being at home?) I do not want to get a dog but that may be our best option. I know the odds of being attacked are low but a bear took a child out of a stoller right at a cottage door last summer in the southern Catskills & a group of swimmers were attacked this summer in NC or SC or was it TN this year. What do you-all living in rural areas do?
Thanks,
Bill
