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.
Nothing for pepper spray, LTC for mace.
