1). My first and foremost fear while on a hunting trip? Running out of beer and good grub. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS know where the nearest quickmart is or if you are DEEEEP in the boonies, better clear out a BIG spot in someones truck for the beer and food. []

2). A whinyazzed spouse of a huntin buddy. NOTHING peeves me more (well ceptn runnin outta beer) than to be 3 days into a 5 day hunt out of state when a buddies wife calls (first mistake is leaving your cellphone on 24/7) and starts moanin and whinin and complainin and throwin a guilt trip on him so he feels "obligated" to load up and head home. That's why I ALWAYS take my truck and encourage others to take theres. Unless some nukes start mushroomin overhead, we are THERE for the duration and if need be maybe even an extra day or two. CONTROL YOUR WEMUNZ!!!

3). As mentioned in #2, cellphone usage. I carry one at all times but it is NOT turned on while hunting and ifa conversation is going to last over 2 minutes while I am in the woods or driving around the hunting land in the truck, I will ask them to call us back. NOTHING is more important at that moment than the hunt. They got 360 other days to talk too someone, why they gotta do it on THAT particular 5 day hunt? [:'(]

4). Partners who run late aka, DRAG AZZEZ. By the third morning alot of guys are either to hungover and/or tired so they drag around and oversleep and end up making me 5 minutes late too the hunt. Do it once, I'll have something to say, do it again... you can take YOUR own truck this morning. I'm goin well before "bright and early". If you can't play poker till 2 and still make a 4am wakeup or can't hold the nights alcohol, here's a quarter call someone who cares!

5). "Men" that are skeert of their guns and arrive in camp with them either not sighted in or they simply can't shoot straight. I carry alot of folks and set them in some of my prime stands and KNOW they will have a chance to kill deer, but I get FURIOUS when they blow their chance and miss a babypiss shot for xyz reason. Here's another quarter, call someone who REALLY cares! [:@]

Bout does it for me, the rest I'm pretty workable with!
