Not exactly. I tell my friends that if anything like that happens again I'm confident that I could take a deer in hand to hand combat. I figure that I've seen a deer fight, but they've never seen me fight. So I've got an edge there.
Seriously, I think I would of taken up hunting anyway. I've always enjoyed the outdoors. And I think that if we had more hunters in Maine we might have less Lyme Disease.
But I will concede that my doe permit application might have a little to do with self defense.
