You ain't the bowhunter I ran into on Willow Creek are you? He was carryin' a bow, a shotgun, pepper spray and about a 14" bowie knife. I'm sittin' in the shadows under the trees restin'. Me and my pepper spray and fly rod walked in about 7 km and had almost fished all the way back to the truck by dusk. He comes stillhuntin' up the middle of the trail, mind you the trail is an old road and at least 20 metres wide. Spooked him somewhat when I asked him if he'd seen anything shootable, for a while I thought he was gonna drop everything and run. He seemed right insulted when I asked if he packing enough equipment. Told me the wilderness was a dangerous place and you couldn't be too careful whilst I was standin' there with my pepper spray, flyrod and a bagful of dead brookies
