No, he was ridiculed for dressing up in a brand new camo outfit for an obvious photo-op to try to give the fraudulant impression that he goes hunting a lot and is gun-friendly.

Cheney, OTOH, frequently goes hunting, and Whittington "...shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, as his hunting companions walked to another spot where they found a second covey of quail. Mr. Whittington 'came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself,' Mrs. Armstrong told the A.P." -- NYT

Not good hunting safety...but he *was* actually *hunting*...not primping for cameras.
