Great article Samantha! I too find myself shooting a lot more in the winter, partly due to the fact that I'm a lot less likely to run into bears. Just like you I feel a little silly for it sometimes. I think to myself that if Marc A. and like-minded individuals (if there truly are any) can spend weeks in the field and not have too many serious run-ins, why can't I spend a morning or an evening shooting without being fearful? I guess a some bear spray and a little more courage should be in my future :)
