Several things: - Not practicing with weapon of choice - Having zero respect for the animal they pursue - Believing that a deer grows a larger rack every single year no matter what - Laziness; it's pretty unbelievable how many lazy hunters there are out there that try and ride on the hard work of others and either pry for information or try and hunt others stands - Pretty much anything illegal
#1 - People who drive around and shoot deer from their vehicle or within feet of it. #2 - People who shoot deer and have their wife, who suspiciously has a hunting license but you've never seen her near a gun or bow, tag the animal so they can continue hunting. Only one deer per year where I live so this happens a lot, and it's usually a tactic used by the people in #1.
"Inconsiderate people" in general. I will hunt our woods quite a bit during the last week of October and first week of November. Inevitably, neighbors who don't hunt believe this is the perfect time to run their 4 wheelers full bore through the direct neighboring property they don't own and don't have permission to ride on. The people who do own the land though are seasonal and not there. Or, other hunters, who believe they have the right when I am hunting to cruise up and down our neighboring driveways in their trucks on land they don't own to look for deer. I mean, what are you going to do if you see one? Shoot one illegally from your truck while trespassing, which is also illegal? Another time, one of these road cruisers showed up the second weekend of gun season while I was bowhunting on my driveway, got out with his grandson and both with loaded shotguns that were upfront in the cab, and proceeded to stalk the woods in front of me. When I challenged him, he about had a heart attack and his excuse was "oh! I thought you had tagged out and was trying to get my grandson his first deer." This guy thinks he owns all our woods and cruises up and down constantly during deer season looking for "his" buck. I finally put up no trespassing signs in which essentially is by backyard (5 acres of woods) and he will not look at me or talk to me anymore when I see him. Ha!
Yep. Not looking to make enemies but not friends either if it comes with a price or screwing up my hunting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i hunt in unlimited anterless city hunt. Every time I tell people they say "oh nice shoot me a doe". Ya thats what i want to do. Put all my time,money,effort into shooting a deer for a fully capable adult who is too lazy to hunt. Not to mention my last drag took like 2.5hrs. Ya no problem, I would love to do that again and give the deer to you while you eat nachos and watch football
Hunters who criticize other hunters for how they shot their deer, i.e. Gun, bow, cross bow. Hunters who criticize other hunters about the size of the deer they shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
When you post a picture of a buck that to you would be proud to shoot, and maybe even mount, and all you hear is "He will be a good one in a couple years"..
That is not cool at all. I love to see peoples bucks, I got to see a young lady with her first buck yesterday it is a good feeling to see a kid you saw shoot her first deer and then take a buck after she said she was going to.
I agree i think people get to caught up in that and forget the real reason we are out there. Whats a trophy to you is different to someone else. If your happy with your kill thats all that matters.
I can't stand hunters who shove QDM down people's throats. Yeah, I believe in and support QDM to, but I also understand not everyone does. Get over it. To each his own. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
When you hunt a small property and everyone asks to cut some wood the day before you want to hunt it and they go out and ruin your best spot even when they know you hunt out there multiple times a week and they don't give a crap. Frustrating to say the least because I want to fill my last tag and try to get my sister her first deer.
whenever a non-hunter asks me "did you catch a deer?"........c'mon.....seriously? I believe it would be worse if a fellow hunter asked me this! lol
Not being able to find any land to hunt, and when you finally do there are a ton of people hunting it!
