Okay folks I wont go on and on about this one but being attacked while
birding is definitely an unnerving situation. I have dealt with adult moose
and black bears while doing wildlife research on birds in Canada but so far
only a nasty farm dog that got called off. By the way moose are much more
dangerous overall but fortunately I went unscathed with the moose adventure.
Okay now to my point. I am not sure about Aussie law but in Canada if I am
in heavy heavy bear country I prefer to use bear mace which is totally legal
here. The kind that actually will turn grizzlies around like a scalded hog.
One jolt of that and even the most determined pack of mutts will be rolling
and screaming in the dirt while others will be be yelping and panicking to
leave the area. A bit pricey but great for peace of mind. Hopefully this
will be helpful to some of my great mates in Aus.
