It was mentioned that sound can be used to scare away large critters bent on 
mayhem, and Eninem was mentioned. Hey if he wants to be point man that's cool. 
Sorta like a sacrificial anode eh? I've always though things like bells & 
shouting in people visited wilderness areas is like ringing the dinner gong while 
bathing in the stew.

Failing that, I'll continue to carry my .44 or 12 ga. as I have zero desire 
to be on the losing side of a, "tragic wildlife misunderstanding." Be they a 
he, she, or they; better them  than me. Innocent, guilty, common, or endangered, 
last of species, my fault, their fault, don't matter. I'm sorry..... me 
first, me first!
