Knowing they are out there and being aware is always a good thing. I was with my kids scouting out mulies on the ridge. We had walked in 2 quarters and cut over 1 quarter checking things out. The kids headed north the 2 quarters while I headed diagonal across the 2 quarters to get back to the truck. I was going to then drive over to pick them up. I was packing only my binoculars and a pack of smokes.
Crossed this griz track and puckered up pretty good in those slow rolling hills.
