exciting would be the word I would use, I tell everyone that I carry a pistol all the time while out in the woods for two reasons, number one being people, number two being mountain lions because they are the only thing that bothers me in the woods, number three is sow bears with cubs which I have been charged 3 times now, the last one the sow charged me 3 times after I ran her cubs up a tree, the 3rd charge was to 10 yards
