Haven't hit anything yet. Had a Bobcat jump out on the trail a few yards down the trail in front of me one day. I stopped. It stopped and we sat and looked at each other for a few minutes and he took off.
Came across 2 conservation workers one day in the middle of January, both packin rifles. Stopped and asked them what they were doin. They suggested we leave the area as some other sledders in the area had reported a Grizzly bear that had come out of hibernation early was in the immediate area and acting very aggressively.

We left!
