Ok. I appreciate the feedback. Guess I'll just have to grab a holster. I never thought I'd EVER see a cougar, that whole experience definitely taught mer a lesson in defense. They are definitely around even off national forest land.

Also can you open carry on BLM land? BLM and NF have a lot of the same rules when it comes to hunting etc. What about state parks? Like the Anzo Borrego State Park?

It's unusual you can't carry on state parks, many state parks allow hunting.
