Default What is Not "Fun", to you?

GMMAT is a thought provoking old goat I tell ya. I just got to thinking, If everyone can think of reasons why it (whatever) is fun, then surely we can think of reasons why it is not fun. Let's hear about the bad parts, and maybe someone here can suggest something to make it better.

(Just kiddin about the old goat part Jeff) Not!!!

The Louisiana heat and hunidity in the first couple of weeks of bow season. Also, the mosquitoes and other little biting and annoyingpests. Everything else in October is great.

Whats not fun or is frustrating to me is when the neighboring land owners complain about no big bucks around and they themselves are shooting the 1st thing with a set of antlers regardless of size and then later on they shoot a dandy buck because I let it go numerous times. Its no fun seeing your hard work go down the toilet when someone such as my neighbors collects from my hard work. These same neighbors start bragging on how good of hunters they are when in all reality I made it possible for them, they sure didn't help in it and put the work in it but pull a trigger. If these same neighbors didn't complain about no big bucks around it wouldn't be so bad then.

This sucks as well concerning the heat and humidity. One word for mosquitoes though, THERMACELL.

too windy, too hot, too many skeeters, _______days in a row without seeing anything, missing, injuring, being in the wrong tree, getting up early sucks (i don't care what yall say, it sucks, I have kids, young ones, no sleeping in on Sunday!) But it's pleasure defeats pain everytime you go brothers!

Knowing the biggest buck you have ever saw in a hunting situation (from stand) was killed during gun season and is hanging on someone elses wall......

What's not fun:
1. pine bough pickers
2. bear hunters and their dogs.
3. grouse hunters and their dogs.
4. wolves
5. coyotes
6. bait piles
7. quads running off trail
8. the guys that hunt near me that complain that there are no big deer anymore then go out during rifle season and shoot 6 bucks that don't score over 115"
