If you are doing day hikes on common trails you probably won't see any dangerous wildlife. It took me daily walks in the woods for about a year before I saw one black bear waaayyy in the woods and it ran away. Be more worried about the ticks, I think someone beat me too it, but use a little bug spray on your legs and check for ticks when you're done with your hike.

Also, check your hair/head even though it's far from the ground, I had a friend who ended up with a massive and gross tick engorged just behind her ear in her hair and thankfully no illness but you don't want a tick anywhere so check well!
