Remember, a lot of those hikers, photographers, mountain bikers, etc. are hunters, also.
I don't know if I would agree that a lot of them are hunters also. Some are, but it has been my experience that most are not. If they were hunters why would they look at us in the way most of them do? They wouldn't have such a startled, frightened look on their faces when they ran into us if they were hunters. Most of the avid hikers, bikers, etc. I have come across are more likely to be from urban areas and in general better educated than the run of the mill hunter. This is not a knock on hunters, just a general observation I have made when I compare hunters I have known to others outdoor enthusiasts I have come across.
