Mark William Rabiner" Mark, It's funny you mention using a R8 to defend youself. You comment reminded me of when I used to take night photos and could hear the coyotes in the distance. As I'd walk the mile or so back to the cabin, I could hear them following me. I was on the dirt path and they were in the brush. There were no reports of anyone having been attacked by one of the coyotes, but I always feared I might be the first. I must admit that the thought occurrred to me more than once that an R8 might be of home help than my M6 on the tripod. In reality, the coyotes were as afraid of humans as the humans were of the the coyotes. One afternoon, I was walking up the dirt road of a small hill, as I got to the top, coming at me, was a coyote walking up the other road from the other side. We both looked at each other, turned around, and retraced out steps. I didn't have the presence of mind to iake its picture. Doug
