I have foxes and fisher cats travel through my yard at different times of the year. I also bring my little dog out at night on a leash and carry a small bat. Should I upgrade to a hand gun? Any suggestions?
If you're truly concerned you can carry a spray. It's like pepper spray but made to ward off bears.
