I abide by all permits on weapons some are different park to park and state to state so I do have to be aware of them! We always have ways to protect ourselves and of course the dogs. Now the skinny on that is in this part of the USA where we travel there’s not many predators that can or want to challenge a husky. Pretty much the largest possible wild predator that we may come in contact with is black bear. We have encountered a handful and they are always curious but never aggressive but that can change if they have cubs which we ran into once but the mama bear did not give chase to us. One thing about bears is that packs of wolves are considered predators to most of them even polar bears. In fact people that live in regions where polar bears roam will sometimes keep a few huskies (because they resemble wolves to other animals) in their yards as a deterrent to polar bears as the bears will usually yield to them or at least not usually choose to attack or go near them as the wolf pack threat is lurking in them. So we are fairly safe from black bears again though this is the animal kingdom out there where we roam so we’ve got to be prepared as situations don’t always work out like we think they will. Again we have bear spray and animal spray deterrents always at a minimum. Also, there are bobcats and from above they stalk and pounce their pray but with a pack of what looks like wolves and two men (myself and copilot) in the area their probably not as likely to do that. We have rarely, but we have run into coyotes and they also don’t wanna mess with a pack of dogs (the size of huskies) either so their threat is pretty much neutralized also. I would say the situations that are most concerning are rabid wildlife. I have had a few situations which of course I am not positive they were rabid but the wildlife like raccoons and skunks acting very erratic and they have approached my dogs and the dogs will kill them if they get a hold of them and that’s a bloody mess and exposes the dogs to possible rabies… of course all my dogs are vaccinated but still it’s not great but it can happen
