Quite a story. I have only had one issue and it was up Big Cottonwood canyon, I was bow hunting about 15 years ago or so, was up high enough that I didn't expect to run into anyone, wrong, walking down the trail I was walking up was a lady in a tyedyed shirt who gave me the riot act, yelling at me telling me that I can't hunt there and why would anyone hunt etc etc, I told her that I was legal and if she feels I'm not she should call the Sheriffs Dept. She literally tried to block my path to go up the mountain and just leave her to herself, I forgot to mention her scronny boyfriend was standing behind her not saying anything. After I tried to walk around her twice and her blocking my way to where I would have to put my hands on her to move her which I wasn't going to do. I told her boyfriend that she was going to get his butt kicked by me. He grabbed her and pulled her away down the trail. Never saw her again. It made me wonder about who else I may run into while back in the woods. When this happened I did have a CCW (still do) but it was illegal to carry it while bow hunting at the time. This has been changed thankfully. If your competent and legal, carry and carry loaded. Be safe.
