Annoyed? Pleased?

I enjoy ethical and safe hunters. I appreciate anybody willing to take the time to teach me somthing new. I appreciate good stories too, real or BS.

The things I dislike are not as numorous, but I've preached about them before, no need to go there again. :wave:
 
The guys I hate are the ones that 'know it all' and see all kinds of game - when you're split up in an area. Then they proceeds to tell you that they passed on a spike or a 2pt - WHATEVER.

Hunting, for me, is a vacation and I'm out there to enjoy the peace, quiet, and fresh air. If I am fortunate to take a deer, then my family will enjoy the venison, which is a treat. It's not a competition and I don't want to listen to some BS story that you know is not true - because the guy can't spot deer!

By the way, I am no expert and every hunting trip is a learning experience - you never stop learning.

One more thing I don't like in ahunting buddy

..if he shoots a moose and it drops and we get on it and it is still kickin or huffin etc and they watch it die. Sometimes with a dumb comment of letting it die in peace, or bleed out cause it's better for the meat. I once shot someone elses animal for this reason and we practically had a fist fight.
We dressed the animal and never hunted together again. Not so much cause I disagreed with what had happened, but we really blew up on one another...
 
People that want to go home/quit early without filling tags... I stay at it till the bitter end.:D
 
I can usually remain calm, and allow everyone to hunt in their own way, unless they 'scope me! If someone is hunting in a manner I don't like, it's a big country and I can find another spot to avoid them, but if they dare to spot with a rifle scope instead of binoculars or a spotting scope and their rifle gets aimed at me, they will get called a douchebag before I move on!
 
Unsafe practice like drinking and such is a no no when there are guns around.:mad: I refuse to be around somebody who is intoxicated and packing a loaded gun. also people leaving all there #### laying around grinds my gears
 
When I was living in Moose Jaw, truck hunters. Even though they were responsible for pushing out a few of the deer I got.

One guy that didn't "get it" says to me " I don't understand! Every time I see a deer. By the time I get out of the truck, they are gone!" He got pissy when I laughed at him. :)

True story. Hunting near Coderre, south of the Jaw. Heard a shot, then the sound of an engine revving to hell. See a camper van, doing about 40 miles an hour cross country after a doe, with some asshat standing on the drivers side running board, holding his rifle, while his buddy drove after the deer he just missed.

No s**t!

Was too far away to get the plate number. Too bad.

There were a lot of deer there, but they had been truck hunted so hard, that they would not come out of a patch of thistles if a truck drove by, let alone come out of the trees.

Guys driving down cutlines playing whumpa-whumpa
"music" with the subwoofer cranked up, comes in close to that, too.

Guys who won't be be quiet and then tell you it won't scare game, while he slams the jeep door in the bush. I also can't stand guys who making hunting a contest instead of a good time

I appricate the guys who took the time to teach me about hunting when
I first started because helping hand does more than a snooty know it all attitiude
 
Can only think of two things that really get me going:
TRESPASSER'S: Nothing I hate more than sitting in my treestand on my private property and have 25 to 30 hillbilly's start encircling it for a deer drive. When confronted they usually say "Oh one of the boys knocked down a doe but she ran off, so we're just looking for her". Stop shooting running deer in the a#@ and they won't run off.

WOUNDED DEER: Yes it can happen to any of us but I can't stand it when someone shoots a deer, finds a little bit of blood and hair and then shrugs their shoulders and says "Oh well guess I didn't hit it that hard" and then moves on to shoot something else.
 
People that move into your area and start shooting ducks that are circleing your decoys!!

Of course littering also piss me off those, especially when I fill every pocket I have with garbage every time I'm out only to find butt load more next time i'm there.
 
people who use thier kids and wives to get extra tags. We have a couple of guys in our area that buy tags for the wife and kids, I don't think the wife even knows what a rifle looks like.

I like the people that take time to take out new hunters young or old. I always keep a couple extra rifles around just for that reason.

hunters with deep pockets and short arms

That one made me chuckle :).
I hate trespassing hunters, hunters that can't control their dogs, hunters that litter, hunters who have forgotten everything they learned in their safety courses, hunters who use their scopes instead of bino's & short hunters; we all know short people ain't got no reason to live....:p

I hate the hunters who never miss. For example a flock of geese comes in over the pits and boom boom boom. Some birds are down and the one who never misses pipes up that he dropped three of course. Next flock comes in so we all let Mr. Sureshot be the only shooter. Funny... no birds get shot :D

I miss my share as much as the next guy but I won't BS to look like a hero.

True story: Very good friend of mine was waiting for a deer to come buy and a decent buck comes trotting along and boom flop. He begins to dress out the animal when Mr. Sureshot comes barreling over the hill in a car saying it was his buck and he had just hit it moments earlier. My friend being the reasonable sort says lets open it up. One wound my deer, two wounds your deer as he only fired once. The deer only has one bullet wound.

Mr. Sureshot doesn't back down and says my friend missed and that it was his deer. At this time a game warden drives up to see what is going on. Seems he was watching from a distance and tells Mr Sureshot that he missed and it was my friends deer. To make the things even sweeter the warden goes to the jerks car and inspects his rifle only to find it loaded.

End result: The right guy got the deer. Mr. Sureshot got his gun taken and was fined ( All in front of his girlfriend no less)

Now and then the good guys win. :D

LACK OF RESPECT

1) to my property and other private lands climbing fences, unhooking gates.
2) to ignorance saying they are lost when there is no way in the hell they are
3) Lack of knowledge of the area, I hate the fact I spend all year spotting feeding food plotting and some weekend warrior walks through my food plot or worse drive through it with a bike after he ran over my gate.

I guess when and where I grew up, If i did not show respect as even walking across someone property as a kid, or tracking an animal hell walking on someones front yard. If i did not get permission I would get whopped 10xs more at home than I would from the owner, and a lecture about respecting an other mans property, I just would not do it. Now days You get holes shot in your no Tresspassing signs or gates run over for just owning land and saying no we hunt this land our selves. Back in the 40s ,50s and 60s, there was not such thing...
There is no respect today, and it ignorance because society allowed it to happen.

I know you older fellows no what I am talking about!

The days of getting the strap in school are long gone, I felt that strap for things that you see every day now in school.

It always pleases me when I meet a fellow hunter in the woods and we can have a polite conversation, even though we are complete strangers to each other:).

What I dislike is when I meet some hunter who gives me that look like he's thinking about his odds of getting away with burying my body (we've all seen that look):mad:
 
I get mildly annoyed hunting with people that are really slow to get their rifle up, make a decision, see the game that is standing right in front of them...basically miss out on opportunities due to hunting incompetence

The reason I get annoyed with slow people is that normally it is me doing all the actual hunting, supplying the gear, diesel fuel etc. What should take an afternoon ends up taking a few days to fill a tag. It IS fun to hunt but dragging it on and on can get tedious.
