Capital Forest is known for spotted owls (when they are not living in Fred Meyer signs) and the elusive sasquatch. I think I would be more worried about the out of work loggers. If you hear banjo music it might be wise to lock and load what ever you are packing. :wink:

A RPG some might consider as over kill but why take chances?

Probably a "Pistol" would be sufficient.

Technoweenie season is open all year around there :shock:

Really I would be more worried about leaving your truck unattended out in the boonies and those big rats who mess with people's property when they get a chance.

Have a fun time out there. :D

Thinking bout hiking/camping/backpacking for a few days... What kind of wildlife should I expect? Anything overtly hostile? or more like deer and such? Will 5.56 and .45 be enough for self protection if I'm going off the beaten path? I don't know if there are bears and whatnot.. lol

The Big Bad Bear does frequent those parts. He is more into "huffing and puffing" than mauling, so you should be OK as equipped.

I agree, I live about 10 miles away and lots of target shooters, appliance draggers..etc Maybe take a shittier vehicle to fit in or park in a well trafficked area. DNR #10 patrols up there a lot, though.

My 5.56 IS a pistol... snicker... But it'd be slung.... I have provisions, wet weather gear, etc..plenty for a few day hike in woods... And a portable for emergencies.... I just wasn't sure bout wildlife.... Sounds like I should be more concerned about the 2 legged variety instead of the 4 legged.. :(
