You meet bad people all of the time in cities and other civilized places. Does that make you wanna go buy a flame thrower? No need man. Just go hike!
Instead of taking the time to deploy something from a hiking pole, why not opt for a greater range? Bear spray with a 30-35 foot range would keep any varmints further away from you. Plus if you are bushwhacking, you don't have to worry about it hanging up on the vegetation like a pole would. If a hog was charging me, my preference would be to engage it a 30 feet vs 4 feet.
One time this bear got a hold of me and...nevermind, I'm just glad I had a magnum.ahhh, THOSE "wilder animals"! yeah, you do have to watch out for those, most definitely.

An accidental fall on such a Rube Goldberg device would most likely shorten your pole and you'd have nothing to expose.CBSSTony-"I have been thinking of a way to attach a bayonet or forked type device to my trekking poles. Any thoughts? Maybe attach around the second section so that if the need arrises I can shorten the pole to expose the device."
I only hunt foxes when using a magnum"You're not here for the hunting, are you?".

oh. i thought this was about condoms. Baltimore Jack has been carrying a condom concealed for a few years now. he hasn't had to use it
you know, just a word of warning, but if i saw you wandering around in the woods (not on a path, so you say) with a bayonet strapped to your pole, i'd be pretty much assume that you were some kind of freakin' nut-nut, similar to Hilton (may he rot in Hell), and the dogs would immediately be taken off the leash...
And then:LOLsmack-sombody-in-the-face-with-porcupine-quills
LMAO! Got me! - I'm feelin' a little froggy today...And then: LOL
Noticed, ain't stickin my neck out anywhere round you girl
