Hi Ron

Oh sure. As I said there are many tricks I've learned and to stay down wind 
is definitely a good idea.

Right. Even here in northern Illinois a person has to watch out for rabid 
skunks, raccoons, bats, etc. We had a horse die from rabies just last summer 
after being bitten by a skunk.

Well thank you for your concern. I appreciate it. Walking sticks are good 
for a Sunday hike but they tend to cramp my hands on a long journey.

That's okay. As I said, I appreciate the concern. I do carry a field kit 
just in case. A injury as small as a blister on one's foot can be deadly out 
there if left untreated.
