I don't know what I fear most :
- setting up my hammock discreetly and then getting hit by a slug that missed the targetted deer, entered said hammock and ended in my person ;
- hanging a red light (oh no ... maybe another colour ...) to signal my position and having undesirable visitors.

In the first case, I can't do anything, but pray... and first of all check with game wardens if such risks exist in the area...
In the second, as I said, a Colt .45 is not an option, unfortunately... Maybe using Doug's RSK or my Emerson's Commander to slice and offer a piece of cheese or saucisson to my visitor could help... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You don't need to be parano?ac (or to have seen the "Delivrance" movie) to wonder about such a situation .....

A good 10 or 20 years ago, in a forest not far away from Paris, a young couple disappeared. Only their empty car, parked, was found.
A few years later, their remains have been found (buried) and several hunters arrested, accused of slaying both man and wife : IIRC, one of the hunters accidentely injured one and then they decided to kill both, as cover-up ....

and that disturbed me more than the cold or the "strange" noises I heard that night...

OTOH, I certainly have more "chances" to be injured by a wild boar, especially if I keep setting up camp right on its favorite track ........ <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
