Riiiight. Crawl back under your bridge, Stan.

I guess it would be pretty limited, there is nothing left on this
continent that could hurt you other than a few grizzly and polar bears
(no one should be hunting them to begin with) and the neighbourhood
dogs. I've found my encounters with wildlife to be pretty one sided, I
can shoot them, they can run.

There is quite a number of things on the NA continent that would love
to savage you. Wild boar, mountain lion, just to name two.

And considering the photographs floating round the net, of what a
regulation mule can do to a cougar... when we say "hardass", we mean a
"hard ass." Bucked his rider off and tore into the cougar. Kilt him dead.
"D-e-a-d, beaten on the rocks ... dead!"

So watch out for wild horses, or other ruminants. Feral pigs aren't
exactly Jimmy Dean flavored shmoos on the hoof, if you know what I mean.

Btw..I do hunt with a bow on occasion. Ive hunted wild boar with a
homemade boar spear too. Shrug

Friend of mine was the Great Hunter. She hunted with a bow "for sport"
and most time just whistled her deer and then told it to take off. But
when it was time for putting meat on the table, well, that was why the good
Lord invented 30-30s. And Maglights.
