Guess its all what you grow up around/with...have had many sub-twenty yard encounters with black bears, and have kinda learned to take them for granted...but my hair stands up on end at the prospect of poisonous snakes. I remember the Vang incident clearly as well, and the mark it left on many in this area.
I had a friend who I frequently went pheasant hunting with that had an AD of his A5 while laying it on the back seat of his car during a break in the hunt. The discharge hit another friend standing outside the opposite door just above the knee. A frantic high-speed trip to the ER, with one person literally holding the femoral artery shut ensued, and the person who was shot survived and received a brand-new knee for his trouble. Fair or not, I never hunted with that guy again.
