Hey Jason good info, and I'll check out that site, thanks.
Kinda funny you mention the bear repellant thing. I think
people assumed certain things when I mentioned that I
wanted to bring a firearm, but in the area I'll be going
(Eagle River) it really is a necessity. The bear attacks
have been going up, and a short while back they had to
shoot a huge Grizzly in somebody's "backyard" 2 houses down
from my friend's house, I saw the pictures! Plus, the
rifle is not to protect me, it's to protect my truck!!
