Within my limited horizon I can recall coyote attacks on small children in Jasper Alberta some years ago.
There was another instance of what was beleived to be a man killed by wolves in Saskatchewan??? a few years ago.
When hiking Bears are the animal that really concern me.
Carring a gun may be nice but will one have it when needed and with a bear will it be of adaquate stopping force and still be packable over distances by smaller persons.
