hi everyone !i might b new on that,i'd been hiking for the last 2 years,inly @ the NJ area and some parts of NY,i know there are black bears @ the trails that i do,i never encounter one yet,only once i got to hear the loud groul,but i did not get to see it ,my question is,for safety,is it good to carry the pepper spray for bears?
Any ideas on the law about carrying those pepper sprays?
I love hiking but i also love to be alive,i never got to hear about anybody been attacked by bears in this area,but it doesn't mean that y never happend
thanks for the help
