Burt: "People call me overprepared. Paranoid. Even a little crazy. But they never met ******* life forms, have they?"
Insert whatever the latest likely to eat you lifeform may be instead of the ******. And my answer, hells yes. I see wolfies in my area, no discussion, they's getting shot. Its bad enough with stupid neighbors letting their aggressive dogs off leash while they go to work. Wolves aren't as stupid as aggressive dogs. They actually DO know how to kill things and if they're wolves and not pups, they've had practice. Practice = working knowledge. I ain't takin' that risk. Like you said, if you can see them the stalk has begun. Know what the nice part of seeing them is?
We can also apply line of sight, line of shot. Tee hee. I moved out here to be able to be responsible for my ass and the asses of those I care for. Coincidentally, wolves endanger said asses. If I see them during the stalk, tough shit for them, I'm always armed, even in the john.
