I presume you are talking about snow.
Rain, clay, wet leaves and frost are the hazards I encounter on steep slopes. Taking a misstep and rodeo'ing down a ravine >300' on your arse is a good wake-up call. Lesson I learned? If the terrain or traverse is that treacherous, find another way.
I've never considered crampons while hunting because it's impractical.
If you do go the route of using traditional ones, familiarize yourself with them. They are not a panacea of traction, superb on firm snow, better than nothing on ice, dangerous on rocks and I have found them potentially lethal on scree.
Traditional crampons can also be a serious liability when you fall if you accelerate down the slope. Catching a point during a fall is a great way to snap your ankle or leg.
