What about on the wildlife reserve? I know they allow hunting to take place there. Is someone gonna hassle me for a license or assume I'm up to no good?
I'm mainly carrying a 9mm with pest control shells and a second mag with FMJ's in case I run into anything that tries to harm me. Wild dog, poisonous snakes, etc.
Nothing wrong with OC there at all that I am aware of myself, however and it is a big however... Turkey season.
If you are carrying bird shot in a pistol, you may not have any carry issues but potential poaching may come into question. A 9mm with gold dots for personal protection during deer season has some debate, a 9mm with bird shot during turkey season, not so much debate and I would be more than cautious.
As far as snakes go, wear good boots and watch where you walk, little need to take em out. I would not be using bird shot on a dog, it would get the gold dot.
Those are my opinions for whatever you feel they are worth.
