You don't need an excuse to carry a gun while walking around. Tell them nothing. The less info the better

Never talk beyond need.  If stopped answer who you are and provide ID. They have to have probable cause and then evidence. Being armed in the woods is not a crime. I wouldnt get in the weeds about my purpose, i'm armed because its my right. Dont answer any other leading questions about what you might, or might not, have been looking for. Their questions are never designed to help you. Look up the youtube video of a well known defense aty called never talk to cops.

Hunting is the practice of killing or trapping animals, or pursuing or tracking them with the intent of doing so. Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, to remove predators that are dangerous to humans or domestic animals, or for trade. Lawful hunting is distinguished from poaching, which is the illegal killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species. The species that are hunted are referred to as game or prey and are usually mammals and birds.

Wikipedia isn't a legal definition.

Your fine with carrying a shotgun in the woods.

Then I would like to hear your definition , and your source of where you came up with it.

Several decades in law enforcement enforcing fishing and hunting laws.

Looking at animals and animal sign is not harassing or hunting.

Then there gonna assume your hunting,and charge you with a lot more laws being not followed.

I hunt deer in an area that has elk and the elk season is not open then. You gonna try to tell me that since I am there in the woods with a rifle and I'm even actually hunting, that I can get a ticket for hunting elk out of season?  I don't think that would go very far.
