Wow. Glad it ended well for your son and you. Could have been very different for sure.
I personally always have spray with me. It's attached to the pack I always wear so it isn't even a thought. Not saying that to judge you, just saying.
A few years back I took my young son along on a bowhunt for elk one evening.
At the end of the night, another guy with us casually mentioned that the patch of bush me and my 8 year old were tramping thru cow calling was where he had just saw the biggest grizz he'd ever seen walk out of. So I guess it winded us and chose to vacate. It could have ended very different.
They walk among us......Carry protection.
Cheers.
John
