for the most part they want nothing to do with you, that being said wild animals can click in there head and its a diff story. We have a bear that hangs out every year in the green belt but has not been an issue. never the less the spray is there if needed.
Lol I just don't trust them especially these ones up here we've had 3 people go missing this past 4 months I'm not saying they were killed by bears I'm just saying if they came across one with Cubs or one that's hungry they'd be dead no doubt.
Another thing that happened which involved my fiancee too was when we went to another lake last summer, it was going on 10pm and we heard what sounded like some younger guy making fake screams coming through the brush just across the lot. But soon it became clear that it was a damn mountain lion! When the thing got closer you can distinctly tell what the "screams" actually were.
Honestly Im afraid to go in the woods alone or walking on trails alone because I don't own any guns and all I have is a hunting knife to defend myself even though I don't hunt smh..
