I have been following this thread and it is extremely disturbing. I fish at night and it's a long walk down the boardwalk at night. I make the trip several times a night sometimes (alone) to go to my rig in the parking lot. My biggest fear so far has been running into a coyote or a skunk. I have thought many times about pepper spray.
I never really thought anyone would want to bother a fisherman. I rarely have anything except my gear with me.
A few years ago there was an attempted rape, during the day in a secluded area of the Refuge. Since then I always make sure I have my knife on my belt and carry the walkie with me. What do I need in order to purchase pepper spray or mace?
I really think this puts a damper on the whole fishing experience and it sad that we have to even think about these things.
