I've spent a fair amount of time, in years past, walking in some obscure areas. The least I carried was a .44 Magnum. Preferred a 12 gauge pump with an appropriate mix of buck and slugs.
With apologies to the tree kissers, I walk upright on two legs ... if I can't defend that against quadrupeds, I insult what G-d and/or Darwin says what I am.

I visited Tsavo West in 1985. Was in a van with the lift top so we could stand an look out and take pictures. We drove into a pride of Lions who were napping. They mostly just ignored us. They were "nice" kitties.CombatController wrote:Yeah, the dogs smell it and get nervous and hang around close. From what I understand they never attack a group (unless you count the lions of Tsavo) but will stalk to see if anyone peels off. Almost never see them but I see lots of tracks.

Ahhhhhhhhh, I see, not quite a hundred years later than the man-eaters killed stalking and eating tasty humans. Of course, I could be wrong, humans just might taste like shiite - I have no idea.Rumpshot wrote:I visited Tsavo West in 1985.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

People don't taste like shit ... they taste like chicken.

I for one strive to be the most foul tasting thing alive. If something ever tried to chew on me I'm sure I'd taste like lead.
Years from now our children and grandchildren living in a 3rd world America will ask "What were you doing on March 21st 2010 and why didn't you stop it?"

Could be worse, could the bears of Tsingtao. Beer-chugging bears from an industrial port city in China. Could be very troublesome if found in the United States.
