Hey Oz, look's like "ol" C-head is one cool customer! Keep packin, but you'll probley only need it for the 2-legged varmits @ B.C. From what I've read, most coug. attacks are on small kids and or by young inexperienced cats. Size and aggression seems to make them back off. So a regular guy out fishing may get looked over by a stray cat, but jumped? More likely to get run over by a UFO
