I hunt the sierras every year. Ive had a few nasty looks, one guy said he didn't realize it was hunting season & regretted he wasn't wearing blaze orange, but last year I got to a trailhead to an area I hadn't hunted before, & there were 10 other backpack hunters there but no granola munchers. In the "golden trout wilderness" Ive found it not unusual to see other hikers & horse riders to be packin handguns in the summer. There are a lot of us who don't fit the liberal mold, just not enough.
